Excellent Pro-Life Pick

John McCain has picked a VP, Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

You may not know Gov. Palin, but the more you learn the more you'll like. She is strongly pro-life, a former Miss Alaska runner-up, a corruption whistle-blower, a hunter and gun owner, owns her own float-plane, a mother of five children (including a Down syndrome baby), races snowmobiles, cuts government spending, etc. On her first day in office she took the private jet the state had bought on a credit card and sold the jet on eBay!


Pictured above surrounding the governor (clockwise from upper left), son Track, husband Todd, daughters:Bristol, Piper, and Willow. Baby Trig not pictured.

Now both Republican candidates have children in Iraq (Palin's oldest son is in the Army deploying in September; McCain's son is in the Marines).

Anything you can get with her describing her Down syndrome son, Trig, is worth hearing. She knew he would have special needs and talks of the privilege of being blessed with him.

She once broke several fingers while commercial fishing with her husband (a life long Alaskan fisherman and now an oil worker on the North Slope). The interesting details go on and on.
