John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin is a hit with conservatives if the reaction veteran conservative guru Richard Viguerie is any indication.
"McCain has chosen to balance his ticket with a principled conservative. Governor Palin's life story is one of sticking to principle. She is living proof that a person can take on the corrupt political establishment - including corrupt leaders in her own party - and achieve great things," Viguerie said.
"There's an old expression in politics: Go along to get along. Not this time. The selection of Sarah Palin is one big kick-in-the-pants to the corrupt establishment in both parties.
"Congratulations to John McCain for hearing and responding to conservatives. Conservatives, the base of the party, have been listless. But, now, nearly all will work enthusiastically for the McCain-Palin ticket. In fact, this is the most enthusiastic conservatives have been since the era for Ronald Reagan.
"This is a grand-slam home run. Conservatives' feet haven't touched the ground since this announcement."
Are you kidding? Seriously? This woman has not one bit of experience in any aspect of the federal government, let alone foreign affairs or the military. McCain and Palin, he has one foot on a banana peel and she has lots of experience in being a pretty woman. Give Obama the keys to the White House now and save the cost of an election.

Conservative pundits must say they're happy with a McCain pick.
Calling her a Grand Slam is a bit much though, perhaps she's a 5th inning single.
