Thank you, thank you my fellow Republicans -- history will be made
tonight, and her name is Sarah Palin!
We are here as a party, united -- and excited --for a John McCain and
Sarah Palin Presidency!
Last night, John McCain asked this group a question about his selection
for Vice President, and tonight we're here to answer it.
"Do you think we made the right choice?"
YES!
I know that the vast majority of Americans tuning in tonight are not
committed to any one political party, but instead are looking for a pathway
forward.
In a world of artificiality, we are looking for originality, we are
looking for authenticity, we are looking for a Beacon of Light to show us the
way.
We are looking for an American who represents every one of us, who can
relate to the needs of our families... and the struggles of our country.
Our nation's challenges are real and daunting. But, we will not despair!
The future depends on leadership... the kind of leadership that carries a
confident and independent spirit -- born out of experience, hardship,
disappointment and success.
So, I say, "Hello, Sarah Palin!"
She's a Hockey Mom -- a hunter -- a hard-hitting reformer -- and quite
frankly, she's not afraid to raise a little Hell amidst theWashington elite!
Which is just what America needs!
I've long supported my good friend John McCain... and now, it is my
distinct honor and privilege to lend my support to my fellow Western Governor
Sarah Palin.
My friend Sarah has shown her strength, and tenacity... to stand up for
what she believes in -- to stand up for the taxpayers -- to stand up for
energy independence ... and to stand up for America!
And tonight -- we stand in support of her!
