Yes, yes, yes!! Finally the maverick does something to get the base energized! If McCain was looking to make a VP pick that shook up the 2008 election dynamics– and energized the Republican base — he couldn’t have made a better choice than the one he made today in picking Alaska’s governor Sarah Palin.

Gov. Palin is a reformer in her own state. Someone who is unashamedly Republican, but is not afraid to take on corruption in her own party either. She is pro-life, and has a newborn son with Down syndrome. She and her husband knew in advance that their youngest would be disabled. They were offered the option of abortion and absolutely rejected it. They lived the decision to be pro-life. She supports the war on terror — including our efforts in Iraq.

Team Obama has already come out swinging. They’ve decided to criticize Gov. Palin on her lack of experience… conveniently forgetting — of course — that Obama himself is more than a little short in the experience category.

   I agree, and the wife is totally thrilled.. and prior to the announcement she was ho-hum about the whole thing.
