I started looking at her long before McCain made his choice. My belief was that he had to pick a Conservative, and only she or Bobby Jindal would do for me. A little after 6 AM on August 29th, 2008 I heard Steve Ducey say they suspect a plane from Alaska had flown to Ohio late the night before. I listened all day intently and I knew from that moment she was a rising star. I'm confident she is the one to lead Conservatives back to power. Not because she has any special power but because she is so natural at just living the life of a Conservative as are most Americans.
