| August 29, 2008 Pindell: McCain seeking someone who 'reinforces maverick nature'
|
(NECN) - Republican Senator John McCain has tapped Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, a conservative who shares his maverick streak, to be his vice presidential running mate.
At 44, Palin is a generation younger than two of McCain's seven
children. She also is considerably younger than Sen. Joseph Biden
of Delaware, who is Barack Obama's running mate on the Democratic
ticket.
Palin is a conservative and pro-life. Will she be able to carry any of the important swing states?
A self-styled hockey mom and political reformer, Pallin was
mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, population 6,500, until she became
governor.
James Pindell of www.politicker.com joins NECN for a discussion.
