Yes, a very specific reason :) The Palin Veep pick this morning. Something I've been waiting my entire adult life to happen -- a woman on the ticket! I am full of squee this morning! You know what a political geek girl I am!
I was rather surprised and delighted by the pick myself by I'm not sure if she's going to help him or hurt him in the overall "image" issue. If elected, I hope she helps him, particularly if she's an active VP. But I'm certainly leaning more towards McCain now than I was.
Well, I'm old enough to remember Geraldine Ferraro running, but I didn't turn eighteen until the month after the election. I must admit, though, I'm finding it absolutely HIGH-larious to listen to Obama supporters complaining about Palin's lack of experience.
Ah. I wouldn't have voted for Mondale/Ferraro either, even if I could have.
I'm amused by how excited my husband is by the choice of Palin as McCain's running mate. (Three phone calls in the last two hours, all to talk about how much he's liking the ticket now.)
He needed to energize the base, and it looks like he has. I know I'm now energized! McCain's actually getting money from me now. and no one is more surprised by that than I am ! [g]
