First, thank you, Governor Palin.
I so appreciate your willingness to step into the role as candidate for one of the highest offices in our country. I realize that having run for office before, successfully, you understood the media would question and investigate every fact, record, query and point of conjecture. Yet, you still said yes.
Secondly, thank you for your straight talk about where you stand, what you have accomplished, what you still have your sights set on and responses to reasonable and far-fetched questions. It is remarkably refreshing and right away gave me confidence in your ability and character.
A third thank you because you didn’t hedge about any issues, nor switch positions to suit even the head of the ticket when it comes to ANWR drilling. Your credibility was established the moment that issue was clarified.
Thanks you as well for your candor, which restored much faith in politics and what is right in our country. Your grace and respect for all are inspiring.
God Bless you and your family, governor.
