McCain chooses Alaskan governor Sarah Palin
Posted on August 29th, 2008 by bile Tags: Alaska, CNN, John McCain, Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, oil and gas resources, Sarah Palin, Vice President, WasillaSen. John McCain has picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, a senior McCain campaign official told CNN on Friday.
Palin, 44, who’s in her first term as governor, is a pioneering figure in Alaska, the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state’s top political job.
She catapulted to the post with a strong reputation as a political outsider, forged during her stint in local politics. She was mayor and a council member of the small town of Wasilla and was chairman of the state Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which regulates Alaska’s oil and gas resources, in 2003 and 2004.
VP debates should be interesting.
