I actually watched part of her speech the other night, and although I do think that she'd be a great lady to go do a Mom's Night Out with, I just don't think she's a strong VP candidate. Think of it, McCain has the big one and is in critical care and we're stuck with the former Miss Alaska and her Hockey Mom glory to lead us through the crisis. It just isn't favorable in my opinion. I also don't see how someone who has a son who is deploying in a few short days to Iraq could be objectionable to anything related to patriotism or the war. I agree it gives her great insight, and I think that there's probably a lesser chance of him being in a great deal of danger versus Joe Army who enlisted but doesn't have a Mom as a V.P. Candidate, but we've been using patriotism and who's more of an American as a platform and a cop out for everything since 9/11, why can't we give it a rest already?! Lee Greenwood is probably as tired as I am of hearing "I'm Proud To Be An American.." at the drop of the hat.
