Palin offers a refreshing change

To the editor:

As ambivalent as I was about John McCain's lack of conservatism, his choice of vice president has brought me back to the fold.

The more I learn of Sarah Palin's accomplishments the more impressed I am.

She's a mother of five, married to a blue-collar fisherman and oil field worker, who saw corruption and took on the old boy political network in Alaska and kicked butt.

As governor she's got more executive experience than McCain, Obama, and Biden combined.

Her real-life experiences are a refreshing change from the pompous elite bloviators who occupy the Senate. She brings a frontier spirit of rugged individualism, once common in America, now so rare in our expanding nanny state. She shot a moose, skinned it, gutted it, and ate it.

Joe Biden had better look out that she doesn't do the same to him.
