Prior to McCain's VP selection I had no intention of voting for him and I assumed he would pick Romney. With Palin on the ticket I am likely to vote for McCain and I may get involved as a volunteer. I like the fact that she is as far away from inside the beltway as you can get, I like her youth in contrast to McCain's age, I like that she is a governor rather than a legislator, I like that she is from an "oil" state, I like her conservative credentials, I like that she is active and has interests outside of politics, and she seems to be a winner.
In the last 12 hours or so, we really see the contrast between the two parties. On one hand we get the words and fireworks from Obama talking about change while everyone around him is the old guard (Clinton, Gore, Biden, Pelosi, Clinton, Kerry, Carter, etc.) And the first major decision by McCain is to bring in new blood. Empty words compared to action. I have to side with action.
