decision for concession speech

As a group, we decided to choose Sarah Palin for our concession speech. We chose her because we knew we wanted to represent the Republican party, however we feel that McCain is coming close to the end of his political career. Therefore, we feel that by usnig Sarah Palin there would be much more to address in regards to her future political plans and her career in general. We chose to do a serious concessino speech because we all for the most part support Sarah Palin and what she represents and feel that it would be contradictory to do a humorous speech for her. We are going to have her present her speech at the FDR memorial/monument, due to the fact that FDR's wife Elanore was one of the very first strong women political figures. We feel this represents the hope and progression of women in politics and that this will set a good tone for her speech and promoting the feeling of progression of her career in politics.
