Waterman: Palin a great pick, but will not change blue
By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com ReporterQueen Anne’s County Republican Central Committee member Diana Waterman says she is personally thrilled about Sen. John McCain’s choice of Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) as a running mate, but she still doesn’t think McCain can win in Maryland.
Waterman says that the pick will create a much stronger showing, but “unfortunately there’s too many Democrats...that are gonna sway to Obama.”
Republicans “will happily rally behind” the ticket she added.
Waterman says that “aside from the obvious female part,” Palin will help the ticket with her gubernatorial experience and her pro-life stance.
Waterman also serves as the president of the Chesapeake Republican Women and is the Queen Anne’s county campaign coordinator for both the John McCain and Andy Harris campaigns.

Quote of the Day
In the long run, fiscal responsibility can and must be a watchword of our majority. For eight years, the administration lived by the proposition summed up by vice president Cheney, who said, 'Reagan proved deficits don't matter.' Businesses, consumers pursued that siren song to the brink of financial destruction - and some, of course, have gone over that brink. We are now experiencing the stark, painful reality that debt does indeed matter."
- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
