Well Joel, I must admit, I am enthused about Palin. Her record, her list of achievements, (things she actually has, unlike Obama) give me an actual conservative to root for. One who could be on the first step to being the first woman President.

Of course, I do have the advantage of 22 years of living in Alaska and knowing something about what she had to go up against to get where she is. So yeah, I'm enthused.

But even from simply the political junkie standpoint, I find it a fascinating choice. It adds someone who doesn't just talk about change, but has actually brought about change. Someone who doesn't just talk about bi-partisanship, but has actually demonstrated it. Someone who doesn't just talk about leading, but actual does lead.

The first instinct will be to talk about her age and experience, but I don't think that will last long. For one, Obama is running against McCain, not Palin. And second. compared to Obama, her record is much deeper, more substantive, and more positive, so talking about her level of experience, only emphasis' just how shallow Obama's is.
