There’s a ton of speculation today that Sarah Palin has been picked as McCain’s running mate. Read about it below and see photos and a video of Palin below.
Sarah Palin
Official Portrait
We will know who John McCain has picked as his running mate around noon today. But the speculation has been heavy that it is Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. This would be a bold choice, but then McCain is a bold man.
The reason for the speculation is that Palin has been on McCain’s short list all along. A private plane was dispatched to Alaska last night. It left Anchorage, Alaska and landed in Dayton, Ohio. A woman was seen disembarking the plane with two men, one a teenage boy. As everyone know, Palin has a teenage son.
We also know that other probably VEEP picks have been eliminated. Most notably, both Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney and Joe Lieberman all of whom have been alternatively speculated to be the vice presidential picks over the last few days.
Sarah Palin is definitely not a Washington insider, she has a 90% approval rating in her home state of Alaska, she ran on cleaning up corruption. She has solid conservative credentials, has executive experience as the Governor of Alaska. She has five children, her youngest just born five months ago. She is a strong supporter of our Troops.
We’ll find out who will be our next Vice President shortly. Frankly, I’m really excited at the possibility of it being Sarah Palin!
AND - she’s a Blue Star Mother - her son is in a striker brigade in Iraq. HOOAH!!!!!

I take nothing away from the accomplishments of Governor Palin but what a transparent attempt to win the female vote. I hope someone asks her how she can support someone in the year 2008 who thinks that a man in her position, should make more than she does for doing the same job. I have no respect for a woman who can ignore something so fundamental about what America stands for and dies for. Maybe McCain will try to lower the deficit by hiring a large percentage of women to the federal government.
I can’t wait to DRILL NOW as you say, and save .02 a gallon in the year 2018. Good Solution John.

Palin is NOT McSame - no matter how you Obamabots try to spin it! lol

Beth,
You’re right, she’s not McSame… but she is less experienced than Obama. So now the Obama/Biden ticket actually has more experience than the McCain/Palin ticket…. how do you continue to attack Obama for not being ready to lead and then pick a running mate who isn’t ready to take over if something were to happen… Mavrick.. yeah right… Moron is more like it.

Daniel - she has more experience than Obama. You are delusional if you think that the TOP of the Democrat’s ticket has as much experience as the BOTTOM of the Republican ticket.
The fact that the dems are slamming this woman as a woman who is from Middle America is just pitiful and indicates how scared the are.
