McCain Chooses Palin as Running Mate
Senator John McCain has selected Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to
be his running mate, according to Republican sources.
Three senior Republican sources had said they had been told that McCain would announce Palin as his choice at a noon rally here. But those accounts came amidst conflicting reports about whether Palin had arrived on a chartered plane Thursday night or was still in Alaska.
Republicans have never nominated a woman for their ticket, and Palin's scant experience would make her a surprise choice. She was elected governor two years ago, and before that was mayor of Wasilla (pop. 6,715).
