Stumble It!
After a video tribute to Cindy McCain, she made a speech introducing herself and gave a demonstration of the sort of values she might have as first lady. No big surprise: She’s for John McCain too.
The room was filled with waving We Love Cindy!” signs.
She came onstage with her blended family’s seven children – three from her husband’s previous marriage and their four.
“Nothing has made me happier or more fulfilled in my life than being a mother,” she said. Applause.
Mention on the people suffering on the Gulf Coast and the resilience of the American people.
Moose alert: “So how about Governor Sarah Palin!
“John has picked a reform-minded ... hockey-mommin' ... basketball shootin' ... moose huntin' ... fly-fishin' ... pistol-packing ... mother of five for vice president. And as a fellow hockey mom myself and a western conservative mother, I couldn't be prouder that John has shaken things up as he usually does!”
In her own State of the Union moment, she recognized a guest in her box – a woman named Ernestine from Rwanda, who “suffered unimaginable horrors and was made to watch appalling havoc wreaked on her family.”
McCain had Ernestine stand up and said, “Your courage is humbling. Your forgiveness is healing. You are my hero.”
Forgiveness, McCain said, “is not just a personal issue: It’s why John led the effort to normalize relations with Vietnam…to retrieve the remains of our MIAs…to bring closure to both sides.”

If Americans want straight talk and the plain truth they should take a good close look at John McCain ... a man tested and true ... ... who's never wavered in his devotion to our country ... ... a man who's served in Washington without ever becoming a Washington insider... ... who always speaks the truth no matter what the cost... ... a man of judgment and character ... ... a loyal and loving and true husband and a magnificent father!
This is a good man, a worthy man ... I know.
I have loved him with all my heart for almost 30 years ... and I humbly recommend him to you tonight as our nominee for the next President of the United States!
I'm so grateful to have had the chance to speak with you tonight ... and for the honor you are about to grant my husband -- and, indeed, our entire family. I promise you I will work every day to help John strengthen our freedom ... to serve this great country with the honor, dignity and the love it deserves ... from each and every generation it blesses.
May God bless all of you: ... our beloved America ... the citizens of the Gulf Coast ... and all the sons and daughters serving this great country around the world tonight.
Thank you.
