John McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a maverick conservative with less than two years in office, as his vice presidential running mate today in a startling choice announced on the eve of the Republican National Convention. At a raucous rally in the swing state of Ohio, McCain introduced Palin as the political partner who can best help me shake up Washington and make it start working again for the people who are counting on us. I am honored, she said moments later in her first turn in the national spotlight.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain tapped Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate today at a rally in swing-state Ohio. Palin, 44, is a social and fiscal conservative who is widely popular with Alaskans, though she is largely unknown outside of the state. But like McCain, the first-time governor is a maverick who is not afraid to challenge her fellow Republicans or take on special interests.
John McCain has chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his VP choice, NBC reports; McCain is expected to make the announcement at a rally in Ohio at noon today. Palin is a socially conservative mother of five who is both the state’s first woman governor and, at 42, its youngest. The pro-lifer, who's a former Miss Alaska contestant, will be the first woman to serve on a Republican presidential ticket and the first Alaskan to appear on a national ticket. She was elected in 2006, besting fellow Republican Frank Murkowski on a clean-government platform. ------------------ Shakira
