I guess I'm what you would call an old fashioned, Irish Catholic politician from Boston. I've seen American politics at its best and (unfortunately) at its worst. But I never gave up on it. On Friday, I was amazed at the announcement and the sincere, down to earth comments by Governor Sarah Palin in being selected by Senator John McCain to be his running mate. I don't know how she'll do on the campaign trail, but American politics is much better today for it.
Raymond L. Flynn is the former Mayor of Boston, U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican, author and a lay Catholic political activist.

Mr. Mayor...I'd love to know your thoughts now that you've had a chance to hear her make her case.
