Can a Hockey Mom Lead a Nation?

The mystery is over. Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska is real, very real. She is also capable of delivering knock out lines with a whimsical smile.

In an exceptionally gender-biased mind-bending way the liberal, left leaning, mainstream media continues to put the forth the questions, “Can a mother of five from small town America lead a nation?”

She reminded us that the difference between a soccer mom and a Pitbull was lipstick; one of the more memorable lines of her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

Sarah Palin lit fires under millions of every soccer and hockey mom in America by saying, “I joined the PTA…every family has its ups and downs…” She smiled as she delivered carefully crafted hammer-blows to the inexperienced Barack Obama.

Behind the Smile

Don’t be fooled. Behind the smile there is a powerful woman of incredible resolve, conviction, family values and nerves of steel.

Palin is the real deal. We found out that John McCain’s first duty as President was his ability to pick a running mate that can (1) be President and (2) connect with America. Palin can do both.

More Media Bias

This morning on CNN’s “American Morning” Paul Begala reminded everyone “…she didn’t write the speech…” in an attempt to further diminish her as an incapable woman. Of course CNN failed to inform everyone that Obama and Biden don’t write their speeches either.

The most important line of last night’s speech was Palin’s comparison of her experience as a small town mayor with Obama’s experience as a community organizer saying that the real difference is that as mayor “…you have actual responsibilities.”

Since this is Palin’s first national exposure, expect the Obama surrogates to be out on the stump in force for the next several days attempting to spin her remarks into “meaningless” or “dangerous” rhetoric.

The Really Big Question

In November, American’s will answer the question, “Can a hockey mom lead a nation?” Millions of moms who each year spend millions of hours organizing and directing millions of families (and millions of husbands!) in millions of ways will be the niche that will most likely decide the election.

This is an election that is going to turn on the women of this country and how they perceive their role not just within the family and societal structure but as people who can influence a nation from positions at the top.

John McCain has answered the question “Can a hockey mom lead a nation?” by simply saying, “My friends, please meet Sarah Palin.”
