Dear Editor,

I can’t say exactly when it happened, but shortly after “I am honored to accept your nomination,” she took off her lipstick and the demure hockey mom changed to a pit bull.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin sunk her teeth into the hindquarters of Barack Obama, the liberal media, and the hypocritical elitist crowd that looks down its nose at small town America. Governor Palin showed that the character and strength of the conservative values of small town America are as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.

With plain talk, she stood up for the real America when she pointed out the hypocrisy of Barack Obama speaking one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco. She spoke from the heart, and it was clear that she did not need focus groups, pollsters, and other tea-leaf readers to tell her what she should say and how she should say it.

John McCain made a brilliant choice in this woman of character and inner strength. She brings a breath of fresh air to the GOP that is crisper and fresher than her state of Alaska.

The McCain-Falin ticket is one that will inspire Americans like they have not been inspired since Ronald Reagan.
