But, I'm not sure I'm willing to step so far out of the box and say that it should start at the top of the pyramid here. Yes, she does appear to be different than other politicians. One thing that is going for her is that she has never openly campaigned to be more than she currently is. She was even "surprised" to be chosen as the VP candidate. Unassuming is something we need in our leaders and if she does pass the test over the next couple of months, I will happily punch my voter card for McCain/Palin. But, I've never been one to vote based on party affiliation so if things don't work out, I'll have a hard time voting for a ticket I view as the least evil choice among the candidates. I'll still vote, but if that happens, I'll equate it to going to the dentist and pay the pain price now or wait and pay a much worse pain price later. Our candidates should invigorate our will to vote, not create a lesser of two evils option. As we have all seen though, gimmicks work. Maybe it will for McCain. If Obama is elected, maybe we should hold all of his speeches in Michigan's football stadium. I mean 110,000 people is so much better than 80,000...

Sometimes an outsider without any attachments can see things as they really are instead of some or most of our politicians that only see the color of Green. If she has good common sense and good ethics and morals, and sticks to her guns, she will be a big asset to the middle and lower class people. It appears that she may have all of the above. For years now we haven't had anyone even near this position that knew how to balance their own check book. They didn't have to wonder if they could make their next house payment or car payment. Millions of $$ in the bank!! I may be reading this lady wrong but I don't think that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. If this country is looking for a change in the way things are being run, how much more of a change can we get than voting in a Rebel and a strong willed Woman. McCain and Palin all the way in 2008!!!! This may be the biggest or best gimmick that the presidential candidates have ever put on,but this may be exactly what the country needs at this time.
