Ok, how big of a geek am I? I was glued to the Republican National Convention last night...first time in my entire life that I have done that. I didn't want to miss Sarah Palin (Rep VP nominee) in her big first speech. Now, before my husband and parents start freaking out, I do believe that a woman needs to see to her home and children first. But we are also encouraged to be involved in our communities and that includes government. With all the hype we've been hearing, I opted to reserve my judgement until I actually saw Palin and heard what she had to say. Conclusion: I would SO be willing to help out with Palin's kids just so she can go to Washington and kick some butt! Besides having a pregnant daughter (that's just sad. I wish the media would leave her alone)...and being able to field-dress a moose (yikes!)...I identify with this woman and I think she could do a world of good if she was elected! Palin is tough, articulate, intelligent, and a heck of alot nicer to look at and listen to than Hillary. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a conservative hockey(soccer)-mom to have some real national influence, and I just hope she gets the chance.

I couldn't agree with you more. I had the exact same experience. I've never watched a national convention before. There's something about this election and Prop 8, that has made me want to really figure out who these people are. I'm not going to fall for a bunch of sound bites that are spun to tell you what you want to hear. I say "HOORAY!" for a REAL woman, who obviously loves her children and her husband, and doesn't pretend to be perfect. I think the fact that her daughter has decided to get married and raise her baby, says a lot about Palin's values. To me it shows that they have taught their children to take responsibility for their actions. That to me is something that is usually taught best by example. That's huge in my book.
Hear! Hear!
I think she'll be GREAT for our country! I finally feel HOPE!
Finally, a woman who represents real women, not a pants-wearing, man-hating, abortion-seeking feminist! I never thought Gloria Steinem or Hillary Clinton for that matter, truly represented the main stream American woman. We love Sarah and according to Jake, so did all the people at the convention. She has relatives living here, in fact her cousins are our next door neighbors.
