Note--the NY Times reports today that part of the reason John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate was to rally the social conservative/evangelical base of the Republican Party.
And indeed, Mrs. Palin is a good conservative. She'll help do that.
Many of us conservatives have been urging Mr. McCain to do things to signify that he took conservatives' concerns seriously. Be glad, conservatives, that it appears he listened.
And p.s., Gail Collins, NY Times columnist, really ought to read her own newspaper, as today she wrote:
"The idea that women are going to race off to vote for any candidate with the same internal plumbing is both offensive and historically wrong."
Good thing that that was far from the only reason McCain picked Palin; it wasn't even the main reason he picked her. And she can't deny that many women are enthused about this selection. Ms. Collins I fear is letting her anti-Republican bias cloud her ability to write a good column.
