Palin choice separates candidates

Posted September 05, 2008 11:00 pm

What a difference six days make.

Senator Obama - the alleged agent of change - picks 65-year old fellow Senator Joe Biden, a 35-year Washington special-interest insider for VP.

Senator John McCain - the man who's lived a life of straight talk and personal courage - picks Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, a 44-year old firebrand mother of five who's successfully fought corruption and brought real change to her state.

When you compare each candidate's first big decision, McCain comes away the big winner. In my opinion, the presidency is about making big decisions. And, the choice between McCain and Obama couldn't be more obvious.
