I haven’t felt like this since Reagan ran in 1980. That’s the year I registered and voted for the very first time. It didn’t make a bit of difference to me what anyone else said because I knew the man’s character. Boy oh boy did Reagan frustrate the Left! Yet through all the bitter ugliness the Left spewed, I never had a single doubt about Reagan, not ever.
p>I have not been a McC fan. Long ago I pegged him for a media whore who stabbed Bush in the back, and to me Bush is a saint for what he’s done to keep us safe, and it’s cost him a lot. But I have to hand it to ol’ McC; his pick is perfect. Choosing a woman who outshines him takes some set of brass. McC hasn’t made a false move, and his timing has been flawless. I’m impressed. Just like Reagan, Sarah Palin scares the bejeezus out of the Left. The Left can yadda-yadda-yadda all they want ‘cause it don’t mean a thing to this conservative. br> —
