What possessed me to create a blog?

I have always been very opinionated, especially as it pertains to politics, but never have I been so fired up as I am right now as time draws closer to the 2008 Presidential election. I must confess that initially, the very last candidate that I wanted to see on the Republican ticket was John McCain. I thought he leaned much too far to the left and was much too liberal to suit me. I was a Romney supporter (and still have total admiration and respect for Governor Romney). So....when it became evident that John McCain was going to be the nominee, my husband and I both said that although we weren't thrilled, we would "hold our noses" and vote rather than the scary alternative of Obama.

The day Senator McCain was announcing his running mate, I was on pins and needles, and so hopeful he would pick Romney and outraged at the prospect of him picking Lieberman or Ridge. Then....along comes Sarah Palin. I was very hesitant at first and wanted to learn more about her, but the more I learned, the more I loved her. She has the same values and beliefs that I do! How exciting! Senator McCain, in my opinion, made one of the most brilliant political moves of all times when he chose Governor Palin. It was especially effective given the fact that days beforehand, Obama basically turned his back on Hillary Clinton - what a slap in the face for her (and believe me, I am no fan of Hillary - just the opposite).

Sarah Palin has energized the party and has certainly energized me! I have become more and more interested in the issues and more and more convinced that the best thing for this country would be if McCain/Palin win the election in November.

So, why did I decide to create a blog? Because I wanted to express my opinions in writing on a regular basis because as I said at the beginning.....I'm very opinionated when it comes to politics!
