John McCain: Picks Sarah Palin As Running Mate

August 30, 2008

It was announced Friday that Republican John McCain had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Wow, could he get anyone more completely opposite from himself? Palin, 44, is the Governor for Alaska and is only the second woman ever to appear on a major-party presidential ticket.

Palin has represented Alaska since 2006 and was picked over Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Homeland Security secratary Tom Ridge (also the former governor of Pennsylvania), and Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.

Palin appeared alongside McCain at a rally in Ohio on Friday afternoon as they begin the run for the White House together.

I’m a little creeped out by the picture. He’s like, “I’m a freakin’ genius! They said I could pick anyone and I said let’s get a hot chick in here. This is gonna be great!”

So will she be good or bad for his campaign?
