But, I couldn't resist a word or two on Sarah Palin. Although I understand voter hesitation when it comes to experience, here are a few reasons/rumors/facts why I'm excited about her, whether the McCain-Palin ticket wins or not:
1. One of her first acts as governor of Alaska was to sell the governor's jet on Ebay. I heard it sold for $2.5 million.
2. She's suing whoever put the polar bears on the endangered species list because there are so many up there they actually are bad for business.
3. She's the one who put an end to "The Bridge to Nowhere".
4. She is pro-life. Not just in word, but in deed. Her youngest has Down's Syndrome and was diagnosed before birth. As a young mother, the push for aborting babies with congenital diseases is a big concern for me. It has become so prevalent I worry about the problems we'd face as parents who'd choose to keep such a child. I hope her choice will radically impact our culture. Please read Andy Crouch's The best thing about Sarah Palin for a brief, but insightful look at what her family may do to shift thinking in this area of life.
