The RNC

Well, I watched tonights Republican National Convention speech by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, and I must say that I am extremely impressed. Whomever wrote the speech did an exceptional job. But it was Gov. Palin's delivery that impressed me most.

She was calm, relaxed (at least on the outside), and her command of the lecturn really started me thinking about the upcoming Presidential election in a more earnest way.

With every election, we have to think about not only who the next President could be, but also who will take over as President in the (unlikely) event that something happens, and the Vice President must assume the office.

Tonight, I saw just how wise a choice it was of Senator McCain to align himself with Mrs. Palin. She is well-spoken; deliberate in her words; and really has an air of quiet confidence about her that tells me that in a crisis, she would be an outstanding leader.

We all still have much to think about as the election draws near. The Governor's speech tonight was definitely the highlight of the long campaign, thus far.

I encourage all of you to be sure you register to vote, and subsequently, exercise your freedom of choice by casting your ballot. Until then, educate yourselves about the people, the issues, and the future of this country.
