LA Hanna http://poliwatch.org/cgi-bin/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&blog_id=20&id=30 I was very moved and impressed with Gov. Palin's speech at the Convention this evening. WoW! A mom of five, and wife to a hard working man she still refers to as "her guy". It was moving for the thousands in the Convention hall. She spent a good deal of her speech talking about her family being just a regular American family with its ups and downs. It was brilliant because it disarmed the mud being slung at her over her daughter's pregnancy and seeking office with a special needs child.

]]> I did not hear a lot of plans or issues discussed, but, then it will be President McCain who will be setting that agenda, not her. So, that was appropriate. She did deliver what was expected in the way of using the Obama/Biden weaknesses in her address, demonstrating she can play hard ball with the best of them. Very impressive.

And her statement about rural towns like the one she was mayor of, and guns and religion brought the house down. She knows how to reach out to Republicans, and that she did. I am now convinced that Palin adds a great deal to Sen. McCain's bid for the presidency. She will reach American women and moms in a way that Giuiliani, Lieberman, and Romney could not.

I'd read that Obama's poll numbers had gone up since his speech. I think Gov. Palin will do the same for McCain's numbers this next week. I hope so. America needs regular folks with families to govern with American families in mind. Gov. Palin said she would be an advocate for families with special needs when she is in the White House. I don't think anyone can argue with that. She was impressive.

LA Hanna http://poliwatch.org/cgi-bin/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&blog_id=20&id=30 I would like to invite any other young (16 to 30 year old) voters to get involved in blogging. I am new to blogging, and I a not that great a writer. But, my Mom got me a word processor and it corrects my spelling and grammar mistakes, so I can concentrate on saying what I want to say.

When I am done writing, I just copy and paste what I wrote on to a blog like this one at Poliwatch.

We Republicans have to get our voices out there. But, more importantly, we young Republicans have a real stake in the future of our country as we are going to live here for another 6 to 8 decades. We need to make our voices heard. Our voices are somewhat different than older Republicans who vote and forget about it.

We have a real stake in demanding a halt to deficit spending by Republicans and Democrats. We have a real stake in electing young Republicans who won't commit the errors of the Republicans who lost the elections in 2006 due to acting more like Democrats than even Democrats on some things like government spending and deficits and debt.

We young Republicans are going to be paying off those debts our of our own paychecks. We have to insure that Republicans who stand for fiscal responsibility and limited budgets and limited government intrusion into our personal lives, retake those principles for our Party and make them credible again. It is up to us. No one else is going to do this for us.

Become a young political blogger. You can sign up here and learn the tips and tricks right here. This is what attracted me to PoliWatch.

I hope you will take this opportunity as I have and promote a credible Republican Party for our future. The people here at Poliwatch will help anyone with a good head on their shoulders regardless of what party they belong to. Take advantage, its free.
