While media attention has been focused on Obama the last few years the Republicans have acquired a couple of Rock Stars of their own. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was thrust into the spotlight on Friday as McCain’s VP pick. She is a very appealing candidate for the conservative base. Her resume may not be the thickest in the world but she has shown in that brief time the ability to tackle problems. The other side offers up Joe Bidden who has a 20+ year resume but isn’t worth more than the paper it is printed on. The other super star is Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. His response to Hurricane Gustav over the weekend has showcased the proper way to respond to a potential disaster. Both of these conservatives represent the “new” Republican Party. They grew up under the Reagan Presidency and their leadership will help guide the Republicans back to conservative principals. They have both tackled corruption and bureaucracy in their state. What we need now is more of these “young” conservatives to serve and we will continue the era of Reagan.
