| August 29, 2008 McCain taps Alaska governor for VP
|
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - John McCain has introduced Alaska Gov. Sarah
Palin, a conservative who shares his maverick streak, as his vice
presidential running mate in a startling selection on the eve of
the Republican National Convention.
At a raucous rally Friday in the swing state of Ohio, McCain
said he made his pick after looking for a political partner "who
can best help me shake up Washington and make it start working
again for the people who are counting on us."
McCain said that Palin was "Exactly who I need. She's exactly
who this country needs to help us fight the same old Washington
politics of me first and country second."
