Palin's closing statement - Take 2
The United States can afford to have an extremist and idealogue in the Senate, because in the Senate, extreme views are tempered by the opinions of 99 other senators and a consensus is reached that is designed to represent the country as a whole. However, the President does not have peers to temper his views. He alone directs national policy and sets the national agenda. This requires a leader who can work across party lines to get things done. Not someone who declines to call republican senators on the Ecomonic Rescue bill because he, and I'm quoting Barack Obama himself here, "isn't very persuasive with republicans."

If you want someone who will vote the democratic party line 96% of the time, then Barack is your choice. But if you want a leader who is an independant thinker, who will evaluate each decision to determine what is best for this country and the American people, not what is best for the Democratic party... or the Republican Party, for that matter... but what is best for America, then the only choice on Nov 4th is John McCain.
