Back in February I wrote a post about Sarah Palin. I said then that she would be an excellent pick for VP. She’s attractive, young, decidedly conservative and strongly pro life. For the last month or more I’ve made the argument that she is far and away the best pick McCain could make. She could draw women Clinton voters as well as shore up McCain’s support among conservatives. But I’ve also said there was no way McCain would actually pick her.
Well, the word on the street this morning is that McCain has done just that! It seems a plane left Anchorage last night and arrived at an airfield about 30 miles away from the site of today’s announcement. Pawlenty and Romney appear to have been eliminated a possible candidate. Tom Ridge and Joe Lieberman are also out of the running. Who’s left? Apparently Palin.
If McCain actually picks her, he’ll suprise me. I didn’t give him credit for the smarts to make this pick. One way or the other, we’ll know around noon today.
UPDATE: FOX News is reporting that a senior McCain campaign official has confirmed that Sarah Palin is the VP pick.
Michelle Malkin has more.
From Mark Levin at NRO:
I should add that if Palin is the choice, this also suggests that McCain may not be as stubborn as portrayed — and that’s a good thing given his positions on a number of issues that have given conservatives heart-burn. At least it gives us some hope in that regard.
Something to think about. I may be swayed yet.

I consider myself an average American. Yes, I own guns, yes, I object to Illegal aliens within our borders and yes, I have religion so according to Obama-rama I must be bitter. Well yes I guess I am bitter. I am bitter that a socialist puppet has risen to the level where he can open espouse his socialist views and tell people he is planning on creating an armed “national security force”. As a veteran I am bitter that Obama-rama says the military can’t handle the situation after years of watching the Democratic Party chop-up the military, reduce its size and capabilities to support itself in time of war.
I have watched the Obama-thon spreading lies, innuendoes, and trying to change history. I have watched them espouse their one world one nation platform. I have watched them play the “race card” over and over and try to guilt voters into believing that this is a nation of racists. I have watched them denigrate and slam the door in the face of our military troops. I have watched them try to make victims of every person in this great nation.
Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, a proud Chicano alumnus of the MEChA indoctrination organization stood up recently at a meeting of his “nonpartisan” cohorts and announced that “12 million illegal immigrants can be brought out of the shadows and into the light” by electing Barack Obama. He encouraged members of NCLR to campaign hard for the presumptive nominee. Just one minor problem… Continue Reading »
