Memo to John McCain: Pick Palin

There's a lot of talk on teh internets about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Here she is wishing the troops well [her oldest son is in the military]:



Here she is in a radio interview, being an exceptionally good sport as the interviewer does double duty:



And here she is very recently addressing the IOGCC [Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission]:


The subject matter is dry-as-toast, but she does a good job with being genial and likeable on the tele-prompter.

I like her so far. Let's see more.

ADDED: It finally hit me who Governor Palin reminds me of. Go to 2:17 on the clip. A nice woman in a family way who's in authority.

After watching both McCain's and Obama's speeches on TV Tuesday night, McCain no less than NEEDS to run Alaska Gov Sarah Palin as his VP mate.

Is Gov. Palin preggers? If she is I hope she doesn't consider a veep nomination. Babies need their mothers love and full attention for those first months (and years!) of life. In my humble opinion.

Kathie:
She just gave birth to baby #5 in April. His name is Trig and he has Down Syndrome. She kept her pregnancy quiet until the 7th month and returned to work within a few days of Trig's birth.

She's quite involved with their lives. She dismissed the state's cook, saving the state about $45,000/year because she preferred to cook for her family. Life must be different in Alaska.

If that's the case, then I definitely hope that she doesn't accept a veep nomination. This baby will need an extra measure of mom's attention and the stability of a routined family life for a long time--a childcare facility can't provide this.

I admit to being more and more taken with Palin.
