A little background on Gov. Palin:


Quote
Born in Idaho, Palin moved to Alaska with her parents, to Charles and Sally Heath, when she was 3 months old.

She grew up in Wasilla, just outside of Anchorage, and played on the Wasilla state championship girls’ basketball team. She was crowned Miss Wasilla in 1984 and was a runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant.

Palin studied journalism and political science at the University of Idaho and graduated in 1987. She eloped with her high school boyfriend,  Todd Palin, in 1988 to save money on an expensive wedding. She helped out in her husband’s family commercial fishing business and appeared occasionally as a television sportscaster.

Palin won a seat on the Wasilla City Council in 1992 as a new face and a new voice, and by opposing tax increases. Four years later she was elected mayor at 32 by knocking off a three-term incumbent. At the end of her second term, party leaders encouraged her to enter the 2002 race for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. Against veteran legislators with far more experience, Palin finished second by fewer than 2,000 votes, making a name for herself in statewide politics. She was elected Alaska’s youngest and first woman governor in 2006.

Sarah and Todd Palin have five children: boys Track, 19, and Trig, 4 months, and daughters Bristol, 17, Willow, 13, and Piper, 7. Track Palin joined the Army last September and will deploy to Iraq on Sept. 11. Palin gave birth to Trig, who has Down syndrome, in April and returned to work three days later.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

I wonder how her perceived "lack of experience" is gonna play out through this whole thing now, as that is such a big factor with Obama. McCain kinda threw that card right out of the deck with his VP choice.

Interesting pick indeed, though.

If she has been governor for five minutes that's five minutes more executive experience than Senator Dumbo Ears can claim.

Well she was a real mayor and is a real governor actually running a state and not running for something else.

Apples and screwdrivers IMO.

But, if he's a real man's man, how come she's in elected office, working, and now in the running mate of the presidential hopeful. /DUmode off :evillaugh:

She has more executive experience than the three of them...Way to go!! I think he made a FABULOUS PICK!!
I was hoping for a female candidate pick.  How stupid does Obama look now?  Turned down a VP pick who took in 18 million votes.  Hopefully, McCain yields in enough of those votes to give him the win!  With this pick..it is not only possible, but probable!  :-)

She probably brings her paycheck home to 'daddy' and then shuffles off to wash dishes and fall into bed for her obligatory wifely duties every night. //double DU mode off.  :uhsure: :-)
