Been seeing a lot of things like this over at NRO’s The Corner – we won’t know if its a general trend for a month or so, but its exactly what I expect from the Palin selection:

Subject: So Excited!K-Lo -
I am absolutely thrilled with McCain’s choice in Palin. Her conservative values, her reform efforts, the way she worked up from being in the PTA to a governor all show that she has what it takes. She is the commander of the Alaska National Guard. She is a mom, a member of the PTA, an athlete, has worked for a living in non-political jobs. She seems like one of us. She seems like one tough cookie, yet is still incredibly likable. That is something that Hillary could never pull off. I am so excited that I sent $500 to the McCain campaign today. I would send more, but I think that is all my budget can handle right now. I am happy he picked a woman. But, I am thrilled it is this woman!
GO McCAIN PALIN 2008!!!
I was visiting the Mother-in-Law on Saturday and while outside for a while another person just wandered up and offered a pro-McCain opinion…an elderly woman, delighted with McCain, delighted with Palin. Outside of Leftwing Kookdom, the selection of Palin is being greeted with enthusiasm…and all the leftwing slanders and smears being directed her way shows the fear she strikes in the hearts of Obamaniacs who see it all slipping away…the Obamessiah washed away by a flood of competance.

Spook,
Thanks for the answer. I have no doubt that Palin is a great person. I’ve known a lot of women like her (we have a lot here in WY). I remember sitting down with a couple of fellow students about twenty years ago and the conversation turned to the best gun to hunt elk with. The funny thing about it was it was the two women that were carrying the conversation.
I’m actually pretty happy about Palin’s nomination. It takes the qualification argument off the table. Personally, I go with the Constitution’s qualifications. All of the candidates are over 35 and all were born in the U.S. Maybe now we can talk about issues.
Maybe now we can talk about issues.
You know I love to rag on you, Casper. It’s mostly in good sport, although sometimes I get exasperated at your comments. In all fairness, I suspect some of mine have the same effect on you. One can only hope that we are now headed toward a campaign on the issues. Each team has a clear vision of where they want to take this country, and there is a stark contrast between the two. I don’t have a problem with either side pointing out when an opponent’s previous actions, associations or rhetoric don’t jive with what they are promising in the present, but let’s hope that personal attacks get left beside the road.
The unique and wonderful thing about our system of government is that, if we end up with a legislative or executive branch that veers off course, we are given a chance to change it every two or four years. As one of the Founders (Franklin, I think, but I’m too tired to look it up.) so aptly put it, “ours is the worst possible form of government, except for all the others.”
