I love Abby Wolf's quote on facebook... "really John McCain, really?" See I read a lot into that. I know Abby as a student from my jazz band a few years back. She now finds herself in the same situation many women in the country do after John McCain's VP choice. As if the history books weren't going to glow with the idea of the first African American Presidential candidate, now there is that added punch of the first woman in the role to become vice president, and possibly president. Many who were going to vote for Osama Bin Biden were sure that this was that important moment in history for change. OK, now the women that were going to vote for the first black president realize that in Sarah Palin they have the opportunity to put the real deal in a position ripe with HUGE possibilities. Not just any woman. A woman with a hard working husband, 5 children (one, her oldest son, who signed up to serve his country and deploys in 2 weeks for Iraq), an amazing track record of hard hitting gumption. Yeah, I'm happy with the choice. The "oh crap" response I know Osama had when he found out, the moral dilema that it is causing Oprah and the pissed off, ready to kill everyone feelings that Hilary has is just icing on the cake for me. We'll give the drive-by media a week to dig up some dirt on Palin (trust me the RNC has done it's homework) and then we can sit back and watch the fireworks. I think McCain has been giddy with excitement knowing about this decision and is looking forward to the debates and campaign that will follow. Guess what people, either way it goes, we are witnessing one of the most important events in the history of our country.
