McCain Picks Running Mate

As you know by now, Senator McCain picked his running mate for Vice-President. It is the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Senator McCain shocked everyone with this pick. But make no mistake, this is an excellent choice. This choice not only is history making, but it has energized and electrified our Republican Conservative base. Not to mention that it totally deflated the bounce from the Democratic convention and Obama's speech on Thursday night.

For those who think she is not qualified (mostly Democrats), think again. Actually, she has a more impressive resume than Barack Obama. Click on the link below or on the title to learn more about the next Vice-President of the United States, Sarah Palin.
