#1 Sarah Palin is absolutely wonderful. The question is whether we, as a nation, deserve to have such a good candidate. The answer to that question right now isn't known.

#2 With anyone other than Palin on the ticket, the election would have been the blowout that everyone was predicting and these carping weasels would have been drowned in the Democrat tsunami. Hopefully their identities will be noted and their new careers in the fast food industry dutifully chronicled.

#3 I can speak from personal experience that many who I deal with during the course of our activism were less than enthusiastic with John McCain, myself included and many veterans among that number.

Sarah Palin joining the ticket was the one thing that allowed me to cajole most of them back into the fight. She was the Hope in this election. A hope for a rebirth of conservatism.

That hope has been delayed, but it is not dead. I wouldn't blame her if she decides not to subject herself and her family to more abuse by the media in the future, but I wouldn't bet that she will take that route. I think she is a fighter. I think we will see more of her again soon.

#4 Its politics. Its rough and tumble and youve got to have a thick skin just like Ive got.

She'll be just fine. I think she learned a lot then last few months. Like somebody said yesterday, politics is blood sport. And you better play it that way.

#5 wearing nothing but a towel and wet hair.

Here, let me hold that towel for you while you dress - we wouldn't want to water-mark the furniture.

#6 A Romney supporter, I once said I would vote for Hillary before I would McCain because of his stance on immigration. Palin Power gave me hope. I think McCain's out-of-touch handlers were jealous of her appeal to Joe the Plumbers.

#7 Palin more closely represents the original concept of political leadership envisioned by our Founders. Unfortunately our country no longer much represents the concept of our Founders.

#8 If I were to knock on Governor Palin's hotel room door and she were to come to the door wearing nothing but a towel and wet hair, I expect my thought processes would go something like this:

Stage 1: Yes! Yesssss! The atheists are wrong. There is a God, and he wants us to be happy! He hath shown me a vision of Heaven--

Stage 2: You fool! Stop looking! Avert your eyes, AVERT YOUR EYES! I hope Todd didn't see me looking at her like that, he'll kill me! I really hope she can't read minds! I humbly ask the intercession of St. Dismas, patron saint of prisoners and the condemned, . . . .
