My initial feeling of letdown after learning Gov. Mitt Romney will NOT be the McCain running mate has been replaced by a feeling that Senator McCain has made a difficult, yet excellent choice. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will bring great balance to the ticket. She is young and very conservative. I sense she is honest and works hard. She has been proclaimed as a GOP "rising star" and this could be the beginning of great things for the 1st-term Governor. I look forward to hearing what they both have to say at the rally.
