1) It is a pleasant surprise. I expected McCain to go with conventional wisdom. My perception of him was that he was too political.
2) I think people like Palin are going to be our future. I am looking forward to seeing how she does so that in four years, we have something to be excited about.
3) The contrast between talking about change and actually changing. The contrast between Obama and McCain crystallized for me in the past 12 hours.
4) I like people who project an image of an outdoors man. I have a bias against "soft" intellectual types.
5) I think Cheney has set a new standard for the VP, I think under Bidden or Palin we can expect the VP to be more active than in the past.
