Manzullo on Palin: I’m excited

Here’s U.S. Rep Don Manzullo, R-Egan, on McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin for vice president:
“I had a hunch McCain would go with someone other than the first tier of people who were mentioned. It’s obvious that the Republican Party needs someone to shake it up, re-energize it, and bring some new life into the party and to demonstrate that Republicans are interested in the same social and economic interests as Democrats, and to articulate some solutions.
She’s only been a governor for two years, but she’s been kicking a lot of butt in Alaska. She beat a good friend of mine, Frank Murkowski, in Alaska, and he actually came in third in the primary (for governor.)
“So, here’s a person knows how to shake up elections and shake up the state by eliminating the bridge to nowhere, because she controlled the funding for it.. That bridge to nowhere, more than any other thing, was responsible for Republicans losing control of Congress in 2006. And here comes somebody who understands the significance of fiscal conservatism and is also a good speaker. I think she’ll fulfill an interesting roll on the ticket. I’m excited about it.”

I think the Obama camp is going to be getting a little nervous.

As a woman, I am thrilled with this choice for VP. Wow, were actually going to have a qualified, effective, woman as the Vice President of the United States! Also, Governor Palin supports Drilling in ANWR, and she lives there. Were actually going to use our own natural resources for a change. and free ourselves from the dictator’s oil. This is incredibly exciting for our country.
