In our small East Texas town there have been many folks looking peaked, as my mama sometimes says, this August. The reasons for this look could have been anything from the last of summer blues, to getting the kids ready and started in school, to just plain nothing to look hopeful for. But that all changed on Friday morning. In fact, it changed so much I heard someone singing 'Happy Days Are Here Again', and realized it was me!! By noon, smiles were had all up and down of East Texas Highway 154, and the reason was a woman from Alaska.

What is it about Sarah Palin that has these folks, including me, so happy? I will tell you. It is that this woman is us. She comes from roots of hardship and plain living. She hasn't left common sense behind in her journey in life. She isn't, thank God, a product of the Beltway, from the Chicago politician machine, or any other machine. She has cleaned up after the dirty big good old fellows, taking names and kicked butt. She knows right from wrong, good from bad, and is smart. She knows what to do and let's God help her do it.

Give me a person like that, allow her to surround herself with wise discerning counselors, and I'll be proud if my son has to call her Commander-in-Chief someday. I won't worry one wit about her not having "genuine" experience. Heck, I'm glad she doesn't. I don't want a arrogant and stupid Joe Biden, or an even more arrogant fool, like Obama. I am sick of elitism and so are many others. We need to have someone who comes fresh from living a plain, not luxurious lifestyle, one who knows that the government needs to save, not spend, and one who double checks to make sure our we course correct, for the way we are headed we will self destruct, if God doesn't send someone in to reconstruct a plumb line of common sense and right thinking.

And the best part for me is that you can see this is so obviously the right candidate, and the one about to be elected by the shrill meter going off at nutroots headquarters. You nutroots go look for a bikini shot, as you faked for Michelle Malkin. You go try to prove that her precious baby Trip belongs to her 16 year old daughter (what absolute and sincere proof do you need to know how insane some have become) that this! Not only will you not get anywhere, you amuse us, and her approval numbers continue to grow.

Sen. McCain, you hit this one out of the ballpark. And you standing next to her could let us see deep into your heart that you knew it. As I said, "Happy Days Are Here Again!"

We are energized!!! Faces are smiling from north to south and east to west. The election is over.
