McCain Introduces Palin as VP Pick

Here is McCain's introduction of Sarah Palin today in Dayton, Ohio. It's almost a half-hour long.



The Washington Post has a Q and A with Gregg Erickson
columnist and reporter for the Anchorage Daily News and editor at large for Alaska Budget Report taking questions from readers about Palin and her impact on the race.

One interesting sample:

Washington, D.C.: I was an apathetic McCain supporter until this. Now, I am energized. She does not have much experience but she is VP not POTUS. She seems smart, tenacious and just what McCain needs to beat the rap of "more of the same." This is definitely not "more of the same."

Gregg Erickson: You are right: smart and tenacious are good words to describe our governor. She was in Texas this spring when her water broke. Rateher than staying there to have the baby, she jumped on a plan for an 11-hour flight back to Alaska, so her baby would be a "Alaskan-born."

It will be interesting to see what happens when she confronts the national media regarding her positions on Roe v. Wade, airborne wolf hunting, etc.
