It is now official.

I will be voting for John McCain with absolutely no reservations now for President of the United States.

What made me drop my reservations?

Simple: John McCain chose someone who should be an inspiration to us all to be his vice presidential nominee - Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska.

Sarah Palin will be attacked by the Left as being too young, too inexperienced, and with no foreign policy experience. Sounds a whole lot like the Left's presidential nominee, but with one major exception. Sarah Palin has accomplished tangible change in the former corruption that gripped the state of Alaska. Contrast this with Mr Change who has always been all talk and no tangible results, except for getting a good job for his wife and a house through a convicted felon.

Sarah Palin has the experience as an executive, something sorely lacking in all the rest of the people on the tickets. That viewpoint, and that ability to manage multiple departments, is critical for the job. Honestly, it is why Bush was a better choice over either Gore or Kerry, regardless of political leanings - GWB had the experience in managing people.

Palin is more than a pretty face, she is smart. She also knows energy policy, as she has managed the state where much of our domestic oil has been supplied. She also would not have been elected if she did not have a true concern for the environment, not this fake anti-capitalist movement that has gripped the Left.

Palin knows the family, having five children of her own. Her oldest is deploying to Iraq, so the typical Michael Moore claptrap does not work on her saying politicians don't have their children going off to war. Palin is also pro-life, realizing the importance of children being able to experience the world as we have, at minimum.

I am very pleased with the choice of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. She will make an excellent Vice President.

I've been doing a lot of Twittering this month, but very little on the blog end of things. I find that Twitter is a great little product, where I can type my thoughts as they come to me in 140 byte-sized chunks.

But I need to explain a bit about my last couple of Tweets.

Today, Wednesday, August 27th is when Barack Obama's VP pick, Joe Biden, speaks at the convention. Tomorrow, Barackus Husseinus Obamatine speaks at his mock Roman stage ala Invesco Field. The news media is going to be swarming all over the speech, analyzing every little tidbit they can on Friday.

In the process, McCain's VP pick is going to be buried.

For maximum effect, McCain needs to come out today, by 2:30 central, and announce his VP choice. This will get the media to start contrasting the two VP candidates against one another, where McCain's choice should win the comparison. This totally disrupts Biden's speech bump that will lead into Obama's speech tomorrow, and forces it to not be buried on the back pages on Friday, when the media is having their orgasms of delight over whatever Obama says.
