McCain's Mrs. Right

For events, thousands wait as long as 90 minutes to get a glimpse of her. “She has lifted McCain in the polls, has put Obama into confusion and is living out a Cinderella story unlike any other in political history, though the ending is still a slipper of uncertainty.” White women have swung away from Obama by as much as 20 points. She has a grip on most white women. A young woman held up a sign at a rally that read Sarah Palin UR my role model. Charlotte Schworer says she felt truly energized for the first time in regards to Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention. Palin never banned library books, though she did raise the idea with a librarian. She did not sell her jet on Ebay, though she sold the jet to Brett Favre. Democrats have not been able to curve the Republican forward motion. Sarah Palin is Northern Exposure meets the Wizard of Oz. The “yes we can” excitement of Democrats is getting a run for its money. Palin’s acceptance of VP raised Republican donations by $4.4 million and Democrats by $10 million. Currently, Obama leads in two swing states, Michigan & New Hampshire, while McCain leads in the other two, Missouri & Virginia. Obama has been established in the narratives as the media’s darling. Sarah Palin majored in Journalism & she has stated that she does not seek the media’s approval; she will not do an interview unless they treat her with some level of respect. I must fall into the category of white woman supporting Sarah Palin because I support Sarah Palin. I like what she says and what she plans to do for our country. I like that she sold her jet to a football player. I like that she says, “Wow,” in response to yelling fans; she is humble through the adversities of the campaign. I like that she is married with five children and I like the excitement she brings to the election. Either way, this election will be marked in history & I am happy to follow it and remember it for years to come.
