DAYTON, Ohio — John McCain will introduce Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate at an event here at noon Friday, senior campaign sources confirmed to FOX News.

Palin emerged earlier in the day as the hot name in the vice presidential sweepstakes after reports circulated that two short-listers — Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty — were out of the running.

Adding fuel to the Palin candidacy was a report that a charter aircraft from Anchorage owned by a McCain supporter had arrived at a small airport outside Dayton, Ohio, where McCain has scheduled a noon ET rally to announce his choice.

It has beens aid her views on global warming match John McCain's. She's sitting in the wet-spot of glacier melt, Alaska, and quibbling about the trends?

This will raise some interesting blather. Is America ready for a woman? Is she "ready to be" Vice President. I guiess if you can lob stupid rhetorical questions like that at Obama, turnabout becomes fair play.

But it was a canny move; she has youth, gender and looks to compensate for his age, gender, and ugliness.

Her veto prevented the state of Alaska from blocking state benefits for same-sex couples; that is, it granted state benefits to same-sex couples working for the state.

This will not help McCain with the "Religious Right", though she is "strongly pro-life".

And her being "pro-life" will not help him peel off women who want to maintain Roe v Wade---though he probably assumes choosing a woman will help him with women. And obviously it won't help him with good ol' boys who just don't want to vote for a woman.

It will certainly be fascinating to see how this plays out--she has been very strongly against corruption, a weak point for Republicans for quite a while. And it appears the fight between her and her brother-in-law, a former Alaska State policeman did not in fact involve pressure by her to remove him--though that's still somewhat murky. I'm sure we'll hear more about that.

She was on the Oil and Gas Commission and
she blew the whistle on a sexual harrasment situation.
When nothing was done she quit.

She (wrote?) an AK ethics bill I know nothing about.

She is under investigation but as you know you could even indict a ham sandwich.

As for the prospect of her being vice president, Palin told Kudlow that she could not answer the question of whether she wanted the job "until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day. I'm used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we're trying to accomplish up here…."



HMMMM Does she know that she will be VP of the entire country if elected? Not especially of Alaskans?

Mother of five including a Down's Syndrome infant born in April. Pro-life. She will appeal to women and possibly to the women who felt cheated when Clinton lost the nomination. An interesting choice.

This is a brillant move, politically, on McCains part. She is more of a centrist and has been known as a whistle blower.

This is changing the landscape of our country. Republicans are now having to deal with change in their own party. The traditions that the hardliners have clung to are now being tossed aside.

This is going to be a helluva race!!!

I wondered vainly whether it might be Michael Palin ...

... and now for something completely different ...

... with 10 years experience as minister for silly walks ...

"yes - we need to think for ourselves" - " I don't" ... etc ...

Ignorance worked for W.
She could call Biden an elitist for knowing what he is talking about, and probably get a big cheer.

First term governor who hasn't been in office for 2 years yet? The think she'd be a good president if McCain can't do it?!

Stick a fork in the Republican campaign. (He would have done better with Paris Hilton, I think.)

She is a pro lifing, oil drilling, Obama hating, ethics avoiding shill.
Since John McCain is so vital and in perfect health, at least she won't be President/ will she?

Ebbie might know something since Palin is from Alaska.

I'm all for picking a dark horse, but from what I have seen, I don't think this would be a wise choice. Why do I have the feeling that if it is her, when it comes to the VP debate, that Biden would talk circles around her.

I think the Republicans NEED to lose this election until the middle class heals enough to have some money to rip off again.

Until then its a Democratic Goverment.

PS Ted Stevens vouches for her.
