John McCain chooses a woman as Vice President. Did Hilary expect this, or for that matter did anyone expect this? And who is Sarah Palin; Sarah Palin is a mother of 5 children who lives in Alaska with Todd her husband. They have raised a son that will be going off to Iraq on September 11, 2008.

Sarah Palin is a former beauty pageant queen who made herself known uncovering ethical misconduct in government politics, and who was a former mayor of the small town Wasilla. Sarah Palin has taken her stance against abortion rights and is said to be a person with true Christian faith and who is a staunch pro-life supporter.

Bill Burton a spokesman for the Obama Campaign said, “Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same.”

California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer had this to say about McCain’s choice.
“The vice president is a heartbeat away from becoming President, so to choose someone with not one hour’s worth of experience on national issues is a dangerous choice,” she said in a statement. “If John McCain thought that choosing Sarah Palin would attract Hillary Clinton voters, he is badly mistaken. The only similarity between her and Hillary Clinton is that they are both women. On the issues, they could not be further apart.”

According to Senator Mitch McConell of Kentucky he stated of Sarah Palin, “Governor Palin is a very bright leader who will bring a fresh perspective to a ticket that already has the experience and judgment necessary to lead our country from day one.”

As for the Obama and Biden’s statement they said,

“We send our congratulations to Governor Sarah Palin and her family on her designation as the Republican nominee for Vice President,” they said in a statement. “It is yet another encouraging sign that old barriers are falling in our politics. While we obviously have differences over how best to lead this country forward, Governor Palin is an admirable person and will add a compelling new voice to this campaign.”

Sarah Palin acknowledged Hillary Clinton by saying that she had left, “18 million cracks” in the highest glass ceiling in the land.
Then said, “It turns out that the women in America aren’t finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling,” trying to appeal to women voters in America.

We have yet to see who will be elected President and Vice President of the United States of America.
