NOTE TO VISITORS LEARNING ABOUT GOV. SARAH PALIN AND CONSIDERING WHETHER TO ENDORSE HER: I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE PHOTOS "CURRENT" AND ADD TO THEM, BECAUSE I THINK THEY TRULY ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. THE EFFORT TO BRING THIS FINE WOMAN TO NATIONAL PROMINENCE IS ONE BY A RELATIVE FEW PEOPLE NOW -- AND MANY PEOPLE LATER -- TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF OUR BELOVED (BUT CONTENTIOUS) NATION. TOMORROW (WELL, ABOUT MIDNIGHT TUESDAY) THERE WILL BE A COLUMN ABOUT QUESTIONS PEOPLE HAVE RAISED CONCERNING THE VIABILITY OF SARAH'S CANDIDACY. (SHORT VERSION: SHE'S VERY VIABLE.) PLEASE AVOID THE RUSH AND GIVE HER YOUR BACKING NOW.
Today's (Tuesday's) Campaign2008Victory has a guest column from Madeline's Dad on Sarah Palin, as well as several graphics of Sarah and her family. My favorite is Sarah as a basketball star at the Wasilla state championship city. If you're interested in being a "Blogger 4 Palin," please let me know in the comments section or in an e-mail to
TalkTop65@aol.com. Thanks for your support!
The following post is from Madeline's Dad. Thanks, "Mad's Dad"

Steve Maloney does.And he wants you to know who she is as well. Steve is working hard on what the blogosphere does best. "It" gets the word out. In this case, Steve and his buddies are working on getting the name of Sarah Palin out there.
I did a quick run-thru over Steves previous posts on Ms. Palin, and on first glance, she does appear to offer some interesting options for some of the frontrunners for the Republican nomination. Obviously, the "woman factor" would pose a nice opposition in case Hillary! makes it thru to Denver as the nominee. Personally, I don't think she'll get it, but if she does, Ms. Palin would offer those pesky "undecided" voters a female choice in both parties.
As a bit of disclosure, I briefly dated a gal in college that hails from the same hometown as Ms. Palin. As our ages are fairly close, Wasilla, Alaska is a small town, and both ladies were athletes, I'd venture a guess that the two ladies probably knew each other in high school. I can say with 100% certainty that women from Wasilla are pretty, intelligent, and good athletes, based on personal prior history.
While I haven't done enough homework to support Ms. Palin or not, a big shout-out to Steve over at Campaign2008Victory. It's good to see the blogosphere being used for some grassroots stuff, and not just for forwarding clips of dumb stuff that Paris Hilton did.
Check out his blog, and take a look at Sarah for VP!
