Politicking, Part II

The fridge-of-fame; the most coveted and prestigious honor a political candidate can receive from this seasoned blog writer. This year I have had a chance to meet a few local candidates, see some old faces, and this time around add Governor Sarah Palin and former First Lady Laura Bush to the fridge-of-fame.

The Governor and her family were in Mesa for a McCain rally in late March, she came out strong against obama's out of control spending, unprecedented government growth, and unconstitutional healthcare takeover. At one point telling the teleprompter-in-chief that "we are not the party of NO, we are the party of Hell No". She was energetic, enthusiastic, and best of all right - explaining the role of a limited Government as the path to freedom and prosperity.

Despite Palin's strong message, the nightly news revolved around two failed hecklers who briefly interrupted the speech, but were quickly removed by the patriots in the crowd. As the second heckler was being removed, Palin turned to him and said "Stick around young man, you might learn something". And we all know that good advice is...good advice!

The next event included the former first lady visit through Mesa on her book tour. The hour and a half wait was well worth seeing Laura Bush up close. Although the meeting was brief and no picture was possible, there is always next time!
