I have had my fingers crossed all week McCain would take advantage of the opening Obama left wide open to tap a woman conservative as his VP selection – and now it seems MY hopes have come true!

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a self-styled “hockey mom” who has been governor for less than two years, is GOP Presidential candidate John McCain’s choice for Vice President.

A senior McCain campaign official confirmed the choice, which was first reported by CNBC.

McCain was to introduce his choice at an event on Friday at midday in Dayton, Ohio.

Palin, 44, was a relatively surprising pick, but one aimed at appealing to women voters who might have been disillusioned by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s decision to pick Biden as his No. 2 instead of Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York.

Now all those angry, bitter women who were completely let down by the Democrats have new hope. And make no mistake about it, if McCain-Palin are elected the first Woman President of these United States is staged to be elected in 2012 or 2016.

Those Hillary supporters who were considering McCain are going to go from a trickle to a tsunami.  I would not be surprised to see a 10 point bounce off this selection.  If the reaction of the women here at NASA are any indication (they are cheering like crazy) McCain just became the next President of the United States. This is truly exciting news which will totally eclipse Obama’s liberal ranting from last night. Way to go McCain!

Addendum:  Thank god we did not get another dusty old white guy from the Senate and we tapped a Governor for the ticket. Obama even pales in comparison to Palin. This is an election for the history books, and my guess there are some coattails for McCain-Palin in the offing as well. BTW – remember it will take 2-3 days to see a bounce on this news, so the polls right now are incredibly unreliable.

Update: While the some on the right sulk, the Hillary supporters are cheering!

Update: The Democrat nuts have come out ugly and have decided denigrating a woman selected as VP is the way to win. I have women reading the crap from the fringe nuts and the mainstream media and they are in total shock at the abuse Palin is getting from the leftward gutter swamps. At this rate Obama may see a 20 bounce in McCain’s direction. Only a few whack jobs are so bitter they would attack a woman on her ability to raise a family and work, make the claim it was her ovaries who got her the job. It is disgusting.

Palin has more experience than Obama, so that ain’t going to fly.  The Democrats are acting like more like the Taliban regarding women than simply recognizing the fact there are woman who are Republicans. That party is rotten to its sick core.
