Oh but scandal surrounds her! She helped get her brother in law fired .... not that the bastard probably didn't deserve it.  :evillaugh:

Could be cool. I think today's announcement will be quite the shocker and I do hope in a good way.

Palin was born as Sarah Louise Heath in Sandpoint, Idaho, the daughter of Charles and Sally (Sheeran) Heath.[2] The family moved to Alaska when Sarah was an infant.[3] Charles Heath was a popular science teacher and coached track.[3] The Heaths were avid outdoors enthusiasts; Sarah and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school, and the family would regularly run 5k and 10k races.[3]

Palin was the point guard and captain for the Wasilla High School Warriors when they won the Alaska small-school basketball championship in 1982; she earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" because of her intense play.[3] [4] She played the championship game despite a stress fracture in her ankle, hitting a critical free throw in the last seconds.[3] Palin, who was also the head of the school Fellowship of Christian Athletes, would lead the team in prayer before games.[3]

In 1984, Palin was first runner-up in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant after winning the Miss Wasilla contest earlier that year, winning a scholarship to help pay her way through college.[3][5] In the Wasilla pageant, she played the flute and also won Miss Congeniality.

Details of Palin's personal life have contributed to her political image. She hunts, eats moose burgers, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, and owns a float plane.[6][7] Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association. She admits that she used marijuana when it was legal in Alaska, but says that she did not like it.[8]

She also wants to drill in ANWR.  

This is the type of "maverick" thinking that I really like!  

On Fox & Friends this morning, Bob Beckel was in on the discussion.  As Palin's name was being mentioned, he didn't look happy.  My wife observed that his look said, If it is Palin, the Democrats are screwed.  I love it.

I don't know much about this woman. Saw a bit on her site and On The Issues so she's pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-2nd Amendment, pro drilling in ANWR and all that, so that's good. I think if McCain were to pick a woman for veep, it'd be to secure the disgruntled Hillary supporters, but it could backfire on him. I'm still hoping he picks Romney.

I had read that she had also filed suit against the US Govt for violation of state's rights because she wants to drill ANWR. She alleges that the US Govt is hurting the economy of her state and that oil is Alaska's. I'm pretty pleased with this pick !!

I'd love to see what this does to the "women" vote.  Obama got a two- or three-point bump out of his convention, and will probably gain a couple more after the drive-by media does their weekend knob polishing act, but this may turn the whole election demographics on it's head.

Alaska sues over listing polar bear as threatened (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080805/ap_on_re_us/polar_bear_lawsuit)
Quote
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The state of Alaska sued Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne on Monday, seeking to reverse his decision to list polar bears as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

Gov. Sarah Palin and other state officials fear a listing will cripple offshore oil and gas development in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in Alaska's northern waters, which provide prime habitat for the only polar bears under U.S. jurisdiction.

"We believe that the Service's decision to list the polar bear was not based on the best scientific and commercial data available," Palin said in announcing the lawsuit.
