To Start

I've never done this before, but am an avid follower of some family member's blogs, so I thought I would try it out. I'm watching the race for president closely, as are many others. I want change in our country, and my pick for president will give us that change. I'm terrified at the thought of Palin in the VP thought, how on earth can any one expect for her to be prepared to run the country in the event that McCain doesn't survive his term? What experience does she have, I've found nothing in her political experiences that makes me believe that she would be a good leader. I've seen nothing that gives me confidence in her. I wonder what the Republican party is thinking, what is the story behind this?
