Palin Makes Low-Key Appearance After Big Speech
A day after wowing Republican delegates in a convention address that was almost universally acclaimed, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin emerged from a meeting with Republican governors and went right back on the attack against Barack Obama.
Reviving a popular Republican line of attack—that Obama voted "present" dozens of times while in the Illinois senate—Palin said, "We don't have a 'present' button as governor. We are expected to lead, we are expected to take action and not just vote 'present.' So there's a big difference, of course, between the executive and legislative branches and our experience."
The Republican governors event in the Twin Cities marked the first time since John McCain made her his running mate—excluding her convention speech—that Palin appeared in public without the top of the ticket by her side.
Palin is slated to begin campaigning on her own Monday, and she told reporters she's eager to travel across the country.
"I intend to give this campaign all that I have to give," she said. "And I look forward to these 60-plus days on the trail. My family looks forward to this, we're up for it, we're excited about it."

However, I personally like Johnny simply cuz his character is more solid. He has nothing to prove. He''s been up and down in politics for so long it proves (to me) his devotion to the country is undisputed. Obama seems more hungry for the white house due to his own blind ambition rather than for reasons of servitude.
Character is the key. In their times as a youth, as an adult and as a politician. Obama chose to use drugs in his youth. McCain hasn''t. As an adult Obama became a lawyer and fought for his clients. McCain joined the army and fought for his country. Obama as a politician -adequately respectable; McCain as a politician for 20 years--he has nothing to prove.
Prediction: it''s only a matter of time before she begins to self-destruct.
A look at Wikepdia shows she was in favor of the bridge until Congress took the money away. Then she decided that the State of Alaska had better things to do.
Why McCain''s speech writer, or the McCain did not catch this again brings into the question that if you can''t keep your VP honest how do you bring change.
