News - McCain speaks on his 72nd birthday

John McCain speaks proudly of his new running mate for vice presidential office.

"Someone who stopped government from wasting the taxpayers money...someone with executive experience..." as he announces Sarah Palin, former mayor of Wasilla, AL and now governor of the same state, to be his partner in the RNC and in the White House.

Sarah Palin may be an attempt to appeal to dissented Hillary supporters, but she has shown to be ultra conservative and may in fact turn off the support of many republican constituents.

A lifetime NRA member and pro-life politician, Sarah Palin brings a hard line stance to the ticket.

At the announcement speech early Friday, Palin has made her first speech as candidate for veep.

On a personal note, it must be said that the announcement came accross as a lackluster when compared to that of the Democrats. In a short winded and seemingly shallow and perhaps defensive, last minute speech, Palin introduced herself in Dayton, Ohio as a staunch conservative who is willing to reach accross party lines.
