Palin a breath of fresh air

I want to thank the state of Alaska for lending its governor to the recent presidential campaign. This woman was a vital breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale Republican effort.

The past and more recent efforts to trash Governor Palin, in my humble opinion, are the real fears she imposes on the democrats and the deadwood, dead-head Republicans in D.C. The next round, 2012, is not that far away. The Republican Party lost because it has failed to lead, inspire and accomplish much. I would also thank the governor and her family for the effort.
