McCain has chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice-presidential candidate. The 44-year-old Palin, now in her first term as governor, is a pioneering figure in Alaska, the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state's top political job.
Oh its on and poppin now...this is some high stakes poker going on. McCain is definitely going after the Clinton supporters with this choice.
How impressed were you with Obama's DNC nomination speech? How can we as individuals use it to keep the momentum rolling? One thing we can not do, is take his nomination for granted. I have often heard US saying "we got it now"! NOOOOO, its just starting......and going out to VOTE is not enough. If we can all just encourage one other person, just one.....then another to vote, then we have a better chance. It also does not hurt if you can donate anything ($1,5, 10 etc) to his campaign to fight these awful McCain ads.
YES WE CAN............YES WE CAN..........YES WE CAN.........YES WE CAN!!!!!!!
