From the beginning of the election this year, I've been a nominal supporter of McCain. Like many, I've mostly planned to vote against Obama, mostly due to policy differences and his impossible promises (like, you know, balancing the budget but yet having everyone under the Congressional-style health care plan). But holy hell, did McCain's VP pick change all of that. I know that he could completely cast her aside Kennedy-style if he gets to the White House, but I really, really like her from what I've seen so far. As a fiscal conservative, some of the stuff that she did to cut spending in Alaska really intrigues me. I also find it pretty comical that the Obama camp is already questioning her experience (one-term executive office vs. one-term sometimes-there legislator...hm?).
I recognize that I tend to be an emotional voter. I vote because I like somebody as a person. I like McCain as a person, but I do have some concerns about whether he can be a successful administrator...having someone there that has administrative experience really tempers my concerns. And as a conservative woman, it makes me proud to see such a strong, family-oriented, anti-corruption woman as McCain's running mate. It seems I won't be voting for Ron Paul after all.
