Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for
the nomination for Vice President of the United States...
the nomination for Vice President of the United States...
I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America.
I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election... against confident
opponents ... at a crucial hour for our country.
And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder
missions ... and met far graver challenges ... and knows how tough fights are
won - the next president of the United States, John S. McCain.

It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our
nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the
country he loves.
With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost - there was no hope
for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his
country lose a war.

With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost - there was no hope
for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his

But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off.
They overlooked the caliber of the man himself - the determination, resolve, and
sheer guts of Senator John McCain.

The voters knew better.
And maybe that's because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for
leadership ... a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.

Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are
hard to come by.
He's a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break
faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight.

He's a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break
faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight.
And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want
as commander in chief.

I'm just one of many moms who'll say an extra prayer each night for our sons and
daughters going into harm's way.
Our son Track is 19.
And one week from tomorrow - September 11th - he'll deploy to Iraq with the Army
infantry in the service of his country.
My nephew Kasey also enlisted, and serves on a carrier in the Persian Gulf.
My family is proud of both of them and of all the fine men and women serving the
country in uniform.
