There is one potential running mate who has virtually no down side. Those conservatives who’ve heard of her were delighted to learn that McCain advance man Arthur Culvahouse was in Alaska recently, because they surmised he could only be there to discuss the vice presidential nomination with Gov. Sarah Palin.

At 44, Sarah Louise Heath Palin is both the youngest and the first female governor in Alaska’s relatively brief history as a state. She’s also the most popular governor in America, with an approval rating that has bounced around 90 percent.

This is due partly to her personal qualities. When she was leading her underdog Wasilla high school basketball team to the state championship in 1982, her teammates called her “Sarah Barracuda” because of her fierce competitiveness.

Two years later, when she won the “Miss Wasilla” beauty pageant, she was also voted “Miss Congeniality” by the other contestants.

Sarah Barracuda. Miss Congeniality. Fire and nice. A happily married mother of five who is still drop dead gorgeous. And smart to boot.

But it’s mostly because she’s been a crackerjack governor, a strong fiscal conservative and a ferocious fighter of corruption, especially in her own party.

There definitely seems to be no negatives in choosing Governor Palin for the co-pilot’s seat. I think she would bring a very positive feel to the campaign, even more so considering that the Democrats whole platform will be how much America sucks. A 90% approval rating is pretty darn amazing.

You are terrible.  What were you thinking with that disaster last night? How many good speeches have been given in history, that you couldn’t even rip one off?  Ten million?  One-hundred million?  How have you managed to survive in Washington this long?  Place an ad on Craigslist for some writers.  In the Newspaper.  Or have some type of “GOP Idol” contest to fill the job with someone talented.
