Joe Excited About Sarah
Joe Wurzelbacher (a.k.a. Joe the Plumber) has recently admitted to the Politico that he was appalled by John McCain. Wurzelbacher reported that he asked McCain hard questions and was dismayed by his reponse.
In particular Joe asked McCain how he could support the bailout when so many people were against it. Apparently the plumber was not very impressed by his reponse (I wasn't very impressed by McCain and Bush's support of the bailout).
Joe has mentioned that he is very excited about Sarah Palin. That's just about exactly the way I view the 2008 Republican ticket. When Joe was asked why he didn't speak of his dismay for McCain before the election, Joe said he was quiet about it because Barrack Obama sounded so much worse as a president than McCain. Honestly, I believe that if elections were held today (even without the Illinois Governor scandal) Sarah Palin would handsomely defeat Barrack Obama. For an extended length of the campaign Sarah Palin had higher favorability ratings than any of the other running mates.

I was impressed by her too. Not quite sure if she was utilized to her full potential. Although, for running as Vice President she got a lot scrutiny, I mean I heard a lot about her and could barely remember who was running with Obama. This should strengthen her for her next run in 2012.
I agree with Lucy, it was almost like the Repblican ticket was a bit backwards in who was running for what. I hope to see her back in 2012!
Lucy: yeah, they seemed to keep her locked up. I heard a couple pundits saying, 'Let her be Sarah!', but sometimes it seems like everyone is trying to be someone else.
I like the 'backwards' comment. There's a lot of custom campaign stuff at places like cafepress.com with messages like: Palin 2008. Also, the speaches she gave tended to attract more than double the crowds of McCain. I say this in passing, though, because I don't think the crowds make her who she is, unlike Barrack who is always trying to be all things to all people.
