[PacificGatePost]

SARAH PALIN IS MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER STATE GOVERNOR. She shook up Alaska to its roots.

McCain has made a bold and telling move selecting someone with Chief Executive experience %u2013 the only one to have any, of the four running for the White House.

Response to Raflin: What world are you living in?? You state "most of America is laughing" in your post. People like me -- independent, undecided voters -- are not laughing at all. We are excited and energized by this choice of VP candidate. Mother of 5, parent of a special needs child, the only of the four candidates with executive experience (Governer), a proven reformist, and clear blue-collar roots with a fisherman husband and union memberships. This adds-up to a dream candidate for the ticket without ambiguity. The fact that she''s easy on the eyes on camera is a bonus point not a problem as you suggest in your post. If you feel this choice is laughable, then please know much of the laughter is not snickering but glee from independents like me whom both parties are trying to attract in this tight race.

Obama, made a major political mistake on not getting Hillary. Period!

McCain helped his campaign by picking another maverick and female who can stand up to anyone. A new inspiring pick the republicans need. She has 80 percent approval in Alaska. She taxed oil companies and gave it all back to tax payers at $1,200 each.

Obama is a smart inspiring speaker, but Palin''s actions speak louder than political words. She has fought corruption in both parties in Alaska. When she speaks she says it like it is, unlike polished career politicians. Some people can talk the talk, but Palin can walk the walk.

Now the race is exciting! History will be made period with either Obama or McCain!
