For the first time this election cycle I am excited. No decision whether this will prompt a return to blogging, but Sarah Palin has me pumped up and excited about the Republican's prospects for the first time in a long time.

There was a pretty strong chance I was going to vote for Barr in '08 but I think it is safe to say that the decision to put Palin on the ticket has inspired and excited me. Palin is a breath of fresh air.

I cannot wait for America to elect its first female Vice President, and with any luck, the first woman President in 2012, Sarah Palin.
