The Palin Factor’ Sparks Fear and Enthusiasm…in California!

Wow! When I read this headline I felt like I was dreaming! I even had to pinch myself for few times to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming! And sure enough, I wasn’t! Seriously, this story titled “The Palin Factor’ Sparks Fear and Enthusiasm” really sounds unbelievable considering California is one of the biggest liberal states (other than New York) in the nation.

There was never much enthusiasm about any republican presidential candidates here in California since Ronald Reagan because, let’s face it… to be enthusiastic about someone means that you have great HOPES in that someone…hope that somone to WIN the race, hope that someone to change things that don’t work, hope that someone to set policies that can help us as a country and its citizens, hope that someone to turn things around…HOPE! The conservative movement found their HOPE in Ronald Reagan in 1981, have lost it through out the years and apparently they found their HOPE again in Sarah Palin in 2008!

Sarah Palin to the Republican party is like Barack Obama to the Democrat party. They represent HOPE 1st, CHANGE second or HOPE for CHANGE? I don’t know anymore. These days, there are just too many slogans being thrown around the campaign trail from both tickets, Republicans and Democrats. However, there’s only one that actually represents CHANGE because they actually have implemented some CHANGE. And guess which one that is! For I believe that for REAL CHANGE to happen, HOPE AND CHANGE should not just be campaign slogans for - they should be what the candidates have lived and breathed throughout their lives as public servants.  I will be doing my own chronicles about the Candidates and their Veeps on this topic. It should be interesting!

For the sneak preview of how the Chronicles of CHANGE will look like:

Guess which candidate actually WALKS the TALK and not just TALK the TALK? For example, since the Dems (currently represented by Barack Obama) always says that it’s the party that has always championed and will always champion womens’ rights, so I decided to do a little bit of google search on the following topics:

a) who pays more his campaign female staff (you can actually copy and paste this phrase and get some results…a lot of results actually)

b) who has more female and diverse staff in US presidential cabinet (you can actually copy and paste this phrase and get some results!)…here are some hints: Condoleezza Rice, Collin Powell, Margaret Spellings, Alberto Gonzales, Carlos Gutierrez…hmmm…Have I named more than one already?

It should be interesting ladies and gentlemen…let’s see who’s blowing HOT AIR here!
