Palin for America: A true conservative: “She knows when to stand up and doesn’t let anyone tell her to sit down”
Scroll down for updates…vid of the announcement at HA…
The announcement from Dayton will start any minute. There’s a new rock star in town. Conservatives are full of Hope that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will bring much-needed Change to McCain Republicanism.
Catch the fever.
I’m starting a new thread and kicking off discussion with this YouTube ad from Palin supporters.
Yes, I’m impressed. Very impressed.
Flashback: You go, girl: Alaska GOP Gov. will sue Bush administration over polar bear listing

The official statement from McCain:
U.S. Senator John McCain today announced that he has selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate and to serve as his vice president.
Governor Palin is a tough executive who has demonstrated during her time in office that she is ready to be president. She has brought Republicans and Democrats together within her Administration and has a record of delivering on the change and reform that we need in Washington.
Governor Palin has challenged the influence of the big oil companies while fighting for the development of new energy resources. She leads a state that matters to every one of us – Alaska has significant energy resources and she has been a leader in the fight to make America energy independent.
In Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars.
As the head of Alaska’s National Guard and as the mother of a soldier herself, Governor Palin understands what it takes to lead our nation and she understands the importance of supporting our troops.
Governor Palin has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of. Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today.

The ACU raves:
CONSERVATIVES HAIL MCCAIN VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK
(Minneapolis, MN) – David Keene, Chairman of the American Conservative Union, has issued the following statement on Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain’s pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
“The selection of Governor Palin is great news for conservatives, for the party and for the country. Her dedication to principle, her courage both before and after her election as Governor of Alaska and her personal qualities make her a perfect choice for Vice President. I predict any conservatives who have been lukewarm thus far in their support of the McCain candidacy will work their hearts out between now and November for the McCain – Palin ticket.”
***
Jennifer Rubin at PJM:
…Palin will argue that in fact Obama has no more experience than she does, and that Palin has the advantage of sharing McCain’s views (and thus being right) on the surge, Russian ambitions, and meetings with state terror sponsors. The VP debate against Biden may be dicey, but the McCain camp knows full well that a vice-presidential debate isn’t going to make or break their candidate. In short, McCain is hoping that Palin is good enough on this score for a number two pick against a Democratic ticket headed by a man with virtually the same meager national security credentials.
As to the second, Palin has much to offer McCain. On a non-political level few can doubt her Q-factor. (She will be the first former beauty queen to run on a national ticket.) The daughter of a teacher and mother of five, she has an ebullient personality and an excellent TV presence. The Right will be entranced : a pro-life hunter with a passion for domestic energy development? And in the battle for “change” she has the record of reform and the identity of a complete Washington outsider. Finally, as a lifelong NRA member, an outdoorswoman, and a western governor she may provide extra help in mountain and western states such as Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico which are certain to be in play.
On the policy front, Palin can make the case that the Democratic program of higher taxes, more spending, and a government takeover of health care is a proven loser. She will argue that she can bring practical experience from as far outside the Beltway as one can get. And, of course, the presence of a woman on the ticket creates instantaneous excitement and puts into play Clinton voters looking for a new champion.
The pick also tells us something about McCain: he thinks he can win. He was not willing to rock the boat with his conservative base. He can use Palin on offense to make a run at women voters and on defense to blunt the populist attacks from the Democrats. And it shows he understands the need to generate enthusiasm and “newness” in his own campaign.
Ed Morrissey: Change conservatives can believe in!
LifeNews has an excellent overview of Palin’s staunch, pro-life activism.

12:22pm Eastern. McCain: It is with great pride and gratitude that I tell you that I have the right partner for those who value their responsibilities over their privileges, someone who has fought corruption, stopped government from wasting taxpayers’ money…someone with executive experience, who has shown great tenacity and skill in tackling tough problems, especially our dependence on foreign oil, someone with strong principles, a fighting spirit, and deep compassion, someone who grew up in a decent, hard-working middle-class family…
Good stuff: “She knows when to stand up and doesn’t let anyone tell her to sit down…She’s exactly who I need, she’s exactly who this country needs…”
Really good.
The next vice president of the United States, Gov. Sarah Palin of the great state of Alaska.
Huge roar of applause. Huge.
Obama-Biden has to be in full snit-fit mode.
And Hillary must be experiencing a schadenfreude-licious moment right now.
It’s McCain’s birthday and the Palins’ 20th anniversary today.
12:44pm Eastern. Palin gives props to Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton. “The women of America aren’t finished yet…We can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all!”
Palin coopts the Hope and Change mantra. Sweet.
Audience coopts “Yes, we can!” Sweet.
God bless America!
For real.

and oil drop!
Sausage/Gollum is still smarting when we kicked his pansy Brit arse out in 1776.
Nothing sadder than a wimp who feels envy because of a lost empire…
I’ve never seen her before but if she can keep it up the way she did at the rally, she is going to be a force multiplier that no one could have imagined. The Treason Media is already tearing into her for the lack of experience thing – even though she has more than Obambi – and I wonder if the woman who are still sore over the Hillary! diss will get honked off and rally to her side?
As bad as identity politics are as a way to choose candidates, if you look at it cynically, which pool of voters would you like to pander to? The one that makes up about 1/8th of the population or the one that’s over HALF?
Exactly.
Sarah’s been punished with five
beautiful children.
Looks like a very good choice so far. Pray they’re no skeletons.
This is a critical election that will decide whether Americas want a socialist America or not. This isn’t a time for theatrics or philosophical purist protests. If you truly want to save your wallet and preserve the traditional aspects of America, this is the ticket we must vote for. There is no “repairing things” in a Conservative post-Obama term; megalithic social programs, old and new, DON”T go away — Can you spell FDR?? There is NO third party “vote” ; Only a defaulted one for Obaman socialism. I say this as reverent Thompson supporter and black American whose man lost out but I can swallow that. This November I will not sit on my ass home brawling of Protest and Pride and Principles and Purity but will stand in front of the Obama tank and deliver my slings against unabashed socialism. None of those “Ps” above mean SQUAT to my wallet and way of life if this Dem gets in.

My wife doesn’t cry. She just did.
This is absolutely brilliant!!!! She’s a gutsy conservative who sold the Governor’s jet when she took office. Her son’s in the army fighting for our country. She has 5 children and her last little boy has Down’s syndrome (take notice Nancy Pelosi). She knows how to shoot a gun and her husband is a commercial fisherman who hunts!!!
Wow, what a choice and what brilliant strategy by McCain and his people!!!
McCain hits it out of the park!
Yes!!!!!
Wow! I cannot wait to vote!
I wonder what hillary is thinking about her glass ceiling now?
Figured I share what I wrote to my group of ‘Malkin Fans’….
Barack Obama has tried to pass himself off as the Chicago-version
of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”, portraying the ‘outsider’ who
wasn’t part of the ‘establishment’ and clamoring for change.
All the while coming from one of the most strongly ‘political’
backgrounds – Chicago / Illinois politics. All the while keeping the
real backdrop of his political life hidden, much like the Wizard of
Oz, while his answers to critics was akin to “Pay no attention to
that man behind the curtain!”
In Sarah Palin, I see a true ‘outsider’ – a true ‘reformist’. A
real, authentic, down-to-earth person who not only came from the
ranks of everyday Americans…. she still is one.
A mother of five – former PTA – a Steelworker’s union husband who is
as blue collar as they come – and a Military Mom. A woman who, when
given the opportunity to step forward and try and make a difference
in her community and state, took on the established ‘politics as
usual’ and its practitioners – and won.
It’s impossible to say with certainty that on November 5th, we’ll
awake to a McCain-Palin administration-elect.
It is possible to say that the GOP took a step forward today – In my
humble opinion – and at least made it obvious that they want to win
this election and they’re not afraid to change course to do so.
Time will tell if my initial perspective is correct. I certainly
hope it is. No one denies that Washington is broken and needs new
blood and fresh air. Certainly no one reading these words within our
small confines would disagree that Obama / Biden is NOT the solution
to DC’s woes and they do NOT represent the change that the majority
of Americans agree is needed.
With the addition of Sarah Palin to the GOP ticket – it appears the
best opportunity for that change now is held in the future of the
McCain / Palin camp.
…..
I’ll add that the comments here about McCain / Palin ’08
Palin / Jindal ’12
add a dimension I hadn’t yet thought of – but definitely another plus.
I heartily applaud that prediction…
my thoughts exactly…besides she’s a hockey mom! lol….now will all those women who wanted hillary to break the glass ceiling jump ship and vote for the republican ticket…Let’s hope so…
now if McCain would dump Juan Hernandez I’d feel a lot better about him….
Wow!!
Palin and her family story is the story of America.
Faith Family Friends
Looking ahead, not mired in the past.
Where is that uh-bama/ bin-biden bump now?
I am on CNN right now, and all they can do is try to pole holes in her. They are saying, “She doesn’t have any recognition”, and of course, “She has only been Governor for less than 2 years.”
I might remind them that NO ONE had heard of Billy-Bob when he ran, and he was merely a Governor of a state that had NOTHING of the economics that Alaska has.
I might also remind them that The Golden Calf had LESS time as a Senator when he chose to run for President.
They have NO leg to stand on in trying to pick her apart.
They are now saying that Republicans are saying it is a “Risky” pick.
Just which Republicans are they talking to? i call Shenanigans, and that they are making up crap just to TRY to pick her apart. It won’t work. All anyone need do is look at the responses on the blogs to know we are TOTALLY fired up.
Go, listen to CNN and hear the filth for yourselves…then go and take a shower. You will need it.
Agreed. I just wish mcamensty (I know that will draw the ire of some) would drop the amnesty nonsense so I could get behind him. The VP pick is nice only in that she will be odds on favorite for nomination in 2012 if mcamensty steps down. But I swore I woul dnever ever vote for anyone who supports amnesty. Frankly though, I can’t see mcamnesty picking a running mate who was an immigraiton hawk. So won’t hold my breath.
WOW. I am so impressed with her after her speech.
Saved her Wiki page from early this morning. The changes made to it already are verging on unbelievable. Like, if you didn’t understand how the libs work…
Please send them Money, in any amount you can afford.. We can’t let the Soros’ of the world outspend us.. This is really important..

Sexist Caveman Newsflash from travlinman:
Fox News has more babes than Bill Clinton could ever hope to have. (Ahem, I mean that in the literal sense)
This was a smart move. Once Americans get a chance to see and hear this woman they will like what they see. And the Dhimmicrats, try as they may, will end up looking like fools going after her. She reminds me of my Mother, in that she doesn’t take crap from anyone.
I can’t wait for my 10 & 13 year old girls to get home from school so I can say see you can be President…..
She ran for…and won…the Governorship of Alaska. A state that has a 20-1 male population. i am pretty sure that were there to be any skeletons in her closet, they would have been discovered already. As it is, the MSM is grasping at straws as it is…and the straws just ain’t there.
Overheard on the Golden Calf’s broken down bus this morning:
“Damn…I knew I should have picked Hillary!”
I haven’t been this pumped up since President Reagan ran for re-election in 1984! Who’d have thought at the end of this year’s Republican primary, we’d end up with such a stellar choice.:) Thank you, John McCain (now that’s a phrase I never thought I’d utter in reference to anything other than his war heroism)!
With McCain’s battles against earmarks and wasteful govt spending, and Palin’s vetoes and cutting of Alaska boondoggles, I feel that between the two of them they will have enough spine to stand up to Pelosi and Reid. Thank God! The economy is saved!!!
Maybe the pick of Palin as VP will energize the base enough to boost voter turnout and elect conservative/Republican candidates to Congress and the Senate. Wouldn’t you just love to see Peloser’s speakership and the Dem/DoNothing majority reversed in one election cycle?!
Imagine the Christmas card from the White House with her and her children in it.
Imagine all those kids in the White House.
Now that is an American Christmas
God Bless her family.
I hope the “Barracuda” challenges BHO to a game of b-ball. she’d school him

Oh, and whipping out my checkbook today, too! Can’t wait to get out there and volunteer here in South Florida!
Ummm… I’m going to say this to most of the women I meet today.. (Except for the ones I already know are hopelessly brainwashed by the extreme left..)
THANK YOU ALASKA! thank you McCain!
Palin/Jindal 2012 – I’m so happy!!!
why do people respond to these trolls. They want to take the focus off this wonderful news.
I’d rather see them play hocky
That sssssssssssssssss you hear is all of the air going
out of the Obama Convention Bounce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go McCain/Palin!!
Dems and your ticket …this one’s for you !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF4JTd61xco
I believe I’m in love! It will be strong conservative women who save the republican party (and America) from the liberals.
What a great speaker! Let’s hope some of it rubs off on McCain.
Its time for barry and joey to get schooled by one of the most qualified people to be VP!
I am pumped and can’t wait until 11/11/08!
Unexpected allies in our fight against full-blown socialism (Obama/Biden):
http://www.hillaryis44.org/
Personally, I would have preferred Michael Steele or Fred Thompson… That said Palin’s a great choice, grass roots conservative are energized/excited by it, inside the beltway “conservatives” who wanted Romney are confounded by it, the media weenies who were pushing Lieberman or Ridge are apoplectic over it and the Dems are whining. All in all I don’t think McCain could have made a better choice.
I believe I’m in love! It will be strong conservative women who save the republican party (and America) from the liberals!
I already text messaged my 17 year old at school to tell her, and I will be telling my other two little ones when I pick them up from school. I have spent their childhoods telling them that they can be anything they want, and to NEVER have anyone tell them they can’t do something and to become women that NEVER have to rely on anyone, especially a man.
This could not be a better example of how to be strong women, and still be feminine, be mothers and devoted wives, working together as partners in your family.
THAT is something I could NEVER have done with Hillary the door mat who simply got and stayed married in order to garner power.
The differences between the two women is astronomical. One shows how to do it the correct and proper way, the other…well…I could never even think about holding her up as a role model for my daughters.
Maybe if Hillary had told Bill to pound sand, but what they ended up doing and how they have lived since is more telling about her quest for fame and power than anything she or anyone else could have said about her.
Makes me want to rethink a move to Alaska, I can tell you that. Especially after 40 years in California.
This is the most excitement I’ve seen on this site, ever! Looks like some of MM’s ‘machines’ are overloaded!
McCain never ceases to surprise me.
Nah #373…Nan has had too much of her eyelids cut off to be able to blink. That’s okay. She needs to keep
those eyelids open ’cause there’s a better, younger,
prettier face in soon.
This is the most excited I have been in 5 or maybe 6 election cycles. I loved her presentation today. No prompter that I could see, only a note pad!!
Obama is a whimp and biden claims to be a hs bully who likes to bloody noses.
Look out Obama and Biden, looks like this ‘black widow’ carries a long,strong stinger.
Flinchy is in free fall. The Dems are in free fall over this news.
They have the wrong candidate in the wrong era.
All this anti-American propaganda by Katie Couric and the rest of these rats doesn’t reflect the will of the American people.
I have said it from the beginning: the Dems have it all wrong AGAIN.
Prediction: 4 years of McCain and 8 years of Palin.
Say goodnite Pelosi Galore. You and the other Dipstix.
ROFLMAO.
Bear1909 out.
well, i know one repbulican that has doubts about Palin, Fred Barnes. I can’t beleive his negativity towards her. I guess that Beltway Boy, is unhappy Liberman didn’t get picked. He just showed his good ole’ boy creds.
I cannot wait to see how the libs side step this. I do not doubt that Obamitler had all kinds of money spent on ads attacking Pawlenty and Romney. Now they are going to have to spend new money to attack Palin, and so far all they can come up with is some elitist crack against hometown, smalltown America! This is gonna get good.
No no RetFireman, California needs your ‘red’ votes! And I don’t mean Commie!
As of 10:58am PT, 8/29/2008 the John McCain Campaign website – http://www.johnmccain.com is DOWN!
The reason?
SERVER TOO BUSY
Yes, we can!
This blog is jammed with people wanting to get in on this choice. Finally! Palin appears to be a genuine conservative and I think it’s a great choice. A total surprise and kind of stuns you at first, but I’m going to support this ticket. Still have doubts about McClain’s conservatism but hopefully Palin can speak her mind.
On another note, as I was watching this announcement and listening to her acceptance and comments, Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos couldn’t help themselves by speaking over her so she couldn’t be heard. LOL!
I think I feel a tingle running up my leg!
Miracle of miracles! My mother who is a staunch Democrat — she has never crossed party lines… EVER, just called to let me know that she is voting for McCain now with the Palin announcement!
I am in shock! It’s a good shock, but I am in shock!!

Palin was the only choice and the RIGHT choice.
another future great POTUS born in Feb?
Even with her potential weaknesses, a great pick!
And…What a babe!
She’s already being dubbed the “VPILF”

There’s only one pick McCain could have made that would bring tears to my eyes and Sarah Palin is it. That lady is fantastic!

Grabbed this off HuffPo:
I knew that would drive them bonkers.
Positively Delish!
From Chuckie Schumer:
Palin’s “lack of experience makes the thought of her assuming the presidency troubling.”
Glad Chuckie is finally on board with why we find Obama actually being President so troubling.
I am freaking STOKED by this choice!! The NRA membership and love of Moose stew is actually making me a little misty eyed. That’s how you polish up a winning ticket.
Holy cow. Have you read those comments? They don’t care that Palin is pro life or a gun enthusiast. They support her because she’s a woman.
I’m amazed.
McCain made a brilliant move.
I like her. She clings to guns and religion quite well. Maybe she’s even bitter.
I’m very glad to see that Michelle and a lot of commentors here are pumped…
I was just watching the 2/28/08 C-Span Interview with Gov. Palen …it was very good.
She was asked then if she would accept being a VP choice (she was 7 mo pregnant at the time)…she answered she would cross that bridge if it happened…but wasn’t expecting to be asked.
Sarah Palen is an amazing woman…I’ve heard her speak before…and knew she was on the “list”…but I was still surprised to hear she was the choice.
She gave a great speech in Dayton.
No matter how I vote…the question is ..how will all of America vote.
I’ve commented before…this race is going to be decided by the vice presidential picks…
Gov. Palen certainly has the right stuff ..to win over a lot of undecided voters at this point.
MM was my first choice
But I couldn’t be happier with this choice…
sausage said:
Abortion, EUTHANASIA, WWII, Vietnam.

BO’s campaign: Nail meet coffin.
That’s exactly what I was just thinking.
A star is born. This woman is unbelievable.
McCain, brilliant move!!
My Labor Day BBq will now include a toast with our glasses tipped towards Alaska!
I can’t help but laugh at how much more pathetic the Libs…especially our local trolls…sound concerning Palin.
Just when you think they could not get lower, more disgusting and pathetic, they reach new daily lows…only to get lower.
Just how low can they get? I guarantee, we have not even begun to see.
And hey, if you don’t vote for McCain/Palin, you are a sexist.
or tough, or an athlete…you didn’t think they were really that deep? did ya.
Winning the wars someone else started, having guns, and hunting are all American traditions. Some city folks are just bitter because they cannot mandate their draconian wacko beliefs on the rest of the country.
Glad to see a real american on the ticket for ONCE.
Plus the Ku Klux Klan…
Anyway, I had no idea who Sarah Palin was before today, but now that I’ve read stuff I’m kind of excited about this. Hopefully it’ll help to bring Obama down.
No, but I thought they would be rabid about abortion rights. Apparently, they’re not.
DemLib dreams shattered!!!
A woman will be in the White House after all, but she’ll be a Republican!!!
Oh the agony.
So well deserved.
And hey, if you don’t vote for McCain/Palin, you are a
ageist,oldist,geriist, aw, you hate old people.Awesome!!!
do not forget slavery and oppression of the blacks thru jim crow
And O yes lets remember the current oppression of jackson, sharption, wright and more.
Sorry Barry-O, time to start advertising in …
ILLINOIS!!!
NEW YORK!!!
CALIFORNIA!!!
And you thought all those donations were gonna be for helping you win Montana.
Carville & Begala are now looking for a bus to throw themselves under!!!!
It’s a closely-guarded secret (by the MSM) that the people of Alaska are strongly in favor of oil exploration and drilling in their own state. They understand that the economic well-being of the people is far more important than kooky enviro-religious restrictions on progress in the name of piety to Mother Earth.
LET’S TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!
YES
Lets preserve freedom for the future americans!!
The two biker women down the street who used to shoot us the bird every time they drove by our house (with our Bush/Cheney) signs in the yard, now this day, have removed their Hillary sign and replaced it with a McCain sign! What next? Do we invite them over??
Lets get sharption, jackson and crew out of the way of black americans so they can enjoy the rewards of being a free american also!
I am glad to see that this site is now pro McCain/Palin. I hope that is change I can believe in.
Watching the Democrats denigrate our country this week to futher their political agenda is disgusting, especially while our men and women are sacrificing their lives for this great country.
Hopefully, we will now focus on the issues and see the glass half full instead of half empty. This country is still one of the greatest countries in the world and has not disintegrated as per the Democratic convention. We need optimism which McCain and Palin will bring, not sourgraping pessimism and BDS bashing like I saw in Denver this week.
grab a 12 pack and go visit them.
There, fixed it.
I really liked those new “Country First” signs I saw at the rally today.
All around, an excellent coming out for our new candidate for V.P.
Bill and Hillary have got to be put on suicide watch.
There must be enough steam coming out of their collective ears to power the nation for a decade — “no more need to drill, hurray!!!”
(Bill’s already trying to find a way to schmooze with the country’s most gorgeous — and capable — governor.)
You go, girl! Folks, let’s push this ticket all the way into the White House! It would be a huge kick to see this girl open a can of whoopa_ _ on Washington DC!
I am beside myself. I am actually looking forward to voting now. Won’t even take any good Canadian whiskey to make me pull the lever for McCain now either.
I shared this new motto with Michelle previously, so is my new Republican motto: REPUBLICANS KNOW HOW TO PLEASE THEIR WOMEN. I am so happy about this pick, Finally, something to root for, with full voice, on our side of the aisle. By the way, is sausage nuts?
ooops dropped a word, so here is……
Hearing this, will enable me to vote in my first U.S. election at age 32, knowing that I have been heard and seen – and the Republican Party will once again be the leader, the innovator, the party of true change. I definitely here at work sense an excitement that is tangible. It’s no longer “yes we can”, it’s now “yes, we will!”
Thank God for Gov. Palin, and thank God I am an American.
12 pack, great idea and some Cheroots!
Palin has executive experience (just like Jimmy and Billy). I bet she can handle herself in a debate without a teleprompter. McCain just won the Presidency by picking Sarah Palin.
Dems will spend the next three months second-guessing the way Obama dissed Hillary because democratic women will override party affiliation in sufficient numbers to make this race a blow out for McCain. This is what dems get for creating a pseudo socialist party lacking a coherent message other than they reject progress, economics, and achievement. Democrats rely on competing groups of protected gender and racial classes.
As it turns out, the chickens really are coming home to roost. Obama has been weighed, measured and found wanting – on a great many things!
That screaming in agony you hear is merely Miss Hillary.
(o:
CNN and Mr. White Trash Paul Begala are on a tare.
As I have said before and I shall say again – Every day the damn Liberals give me brand new reason to fear and loath them.
