Sarah Palin is currently the governor or Alaska. Her name has been batted around for John McCains V.P choice.
BREAKING NEWS MSNBC and NBC News updated 8:11 a.m. PT, Fri., Aug. 29, 2008 WASHINGTON – Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, campaign officials told NBC News on Friday. She would be the first woman to serve on a Republican presidential ticket. The anti-abortion Palin would also be the first Alaskan ever to appear on a national ticket. Palin, 44, was elected Alaska’s first woman governor in 2006. The state’s voters had grown weary of career politician Gov. Frank Murkowski, whom she defeated in the GOP primary. Even Hillary Clinton supporter think this was a smart pick. Thanks girls, read what they are saying… On the group blog Feministe, Jill Filipovic, a 20-something New Yorker, worried that the Palin pick would “woo white suburban politically moderate female voters” from the Dems. Palin “has a solid resume. She’s not an old white dude, which makes McCain look less stodgy. Biden will have a harder time debating against her without coming across as a bully (especially since he’s something of a loose cannon prone to idiotic slips of the tongue, despite being an excellent debater). She could potentially woo white suburban politically moderate female voters. She’s likable and has a very all-American story. She has a son in the military. The media is already swooning over her. “All that said: She doesn’t have much foreign policy (or any other governing) experience, which puts a dent in McCain’s argument that experience is everything. But… yeah, this was a smart choice on McCain’s part. Damn.” No Quarter USA, an online hub for anti-Obama Hillary supporters, had this comment from Danny in Alaska, a disaffected Hillary Democrat who had pledged not to vote for Obama, on a news post. He called Palin an independent and said a “vote for MCCAIN IS NO LONGER A PROTEST
Here is some Wiki Info Sarah Heath Palin (born February 11, 1964) is the current Governor of Alaska, and a member of the Republican Party. She is the youngest and first female governor of Alaska. Brought to statewide attention because of her whistleblowing on ethical violations by state Republican Party leaders,[1] she won election in 2006 by first defeating the incumbent governor in the Republican primary, then a former Democratic Alaskan governor in the general election. On August 29, the Associated Press reported that “speculation [has] moved to [Palin as a] darkhorse” pick for the vice president running mate slot by presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.[2] The CNBC news service is now reporting that Palin will in fact be the GOP vice-presidential nominee.[3] She is reported to be a possible choice for the Republican Party’s nomination as Vice President of the United States in the 2008 election. Formal announcement of the presumptive nominee will be made in Dayton, Ohio on August 29, 2008, by Presidential candidate John McCain. Her husband Todd Palin is hot too! Yipee, finally some eye candy for the girls! Todd Palin, who is a lifelong Alaskan, a production operator on the North Slope and a four-time champion of the Iron Dog Sled Races. Man that is some serious sledding. You may of seen Cuba Gooding Jr in the Disney movie,”Snow Dogs”. Pretty cheezy, but my kids liked it, so what the heck. A better dog sled movie is “Iron Will” 1994 Anyway, it is a snowmobile race not a dog sled race. Which I did not know, but found another great photo of him and his wife!
