Sarah Palin
« on: September 06, 2008, 02:25:35 PM »
I am coming late to the dance here (been enormously busy so haven't checked in here for a very long time), but I have to share.   I live in Massachusetts -- which is in the heart of Democrat central in the Northeast.     

I have been a political junkie my entire adult life, and pretty much don't get too excited over political speeches.   Sarah Palin completely blew me away.   I have never been this pumped over a speech from a politician before.   She is the real thing, and I am now for the first time thrilled to vote for McCain (I was seriously considering jumping off the liquor wagon of 7 years that day in order to bring myself to actually do it -  :-) ).

I digress -- the reason for my post is that my thoughts on Sarah Palin are shared ones.    She has turned the heads of pretty much every moderate Democrat I have chatted with here in Ted Kennedy land.     This is truly amazing what I am seeing here.

Sarah has also touched the hearts of parents of special needs children -- the boards I belong to are on fire with praise for her and real hope she makes it to the White House.

I really haven't seen this level of excitement before -- ever.    Reagan, no one will replace.  Sarah is blazing her own trail.   She is one of us.   She totally gets it, and thank God for that. 

McCain/Palin <---   I am smiling just looking at this ticket.   They simply have to win.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

as some may know, I live in Massachusetts and Im also a mailman - the MCCain/Palin signs are springing up everywhere. Granted, I do deliver to a sleepy residential community along the back roads where there are farms, and now McMansions dotting the landscape - so it is a different demographic than Urban areas but still, its impressive to see.
