John McCain's VP Choice!

[Jan C Still]

Below is a post that I put on the NAPCA Forum yesterday at the request of Tom Knox.
As I live I in Alaska, Tom requested I post my thoughts on Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the Vice President nominee.
In 1987 she graduated with a degree in Journalism from the University of Idaho..
She is a life member of the NRA, own guns, and hunts moose and caribou.
Recently, some key Republican members of the Alaska State Legislature accepted bribes to cut taxes to big oil companies. These Legislatures bragged that they were the old corruptibles (some later pled guilty and others were indited). Gov. Palin went after the Legislature to rescind this corrupt tax cut. By calling a special session she held the Legislatures feet to the fire and finally forced them to restore the tax to its pre-bribes level.
She is tough, honest, smart, very capable, and a gun owner and hunter.
(Note: many network reporters argue that Sarah Palin has to live and work in the Washington DC beltway for a number of years to be qualified to be president. With a Congressional approval rate of 9 percent (Palin has an 80 percent approval rating) I would suggest that living in the Washington DC beltway may be a serious detriment to being Vice-president or President. Alaska borders on Russia at one point and is about as far away from the beltway as you can get.)
