McCain Picks 'Hockey Mom' for VP

GOP Presidential nominee John McCain has picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for his VP, a self-styled "hockey mom" and little known Alaska governor.
Palin, 44, is a first-term governor, pro-life advocate, former beauty queen -- and hockey player. She's been described as "tough as nails" -- and when she was young, her father reportedly took her moose hunting in the middle of the night.
She is the first female running mate on a Republican presidential ticket.
The pick comes as a surprise, as Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was thought to be the top choice.
Sarah is a mom to five -- Bristol, Willow, Piper, Track and Trig, who was born in April with Down syndrome.



















In my opinion Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air to the Republican Party. I welcome her and inspite of not knowing a lot about her, Sarah’s story is one that I, and many women can relate to. We are moms who attend the baseball games,, go to PTA meetings, serve in the community kitchen, meet the girls once a month, work and spend time with a husband/friend. I’m excited about her and very anxious to know more about Sarah in the days ahead. Eventually my goal is to join forces with her and the Republican Party to help heal America’s hurts the world over. New direction, new insight and new thinking is imperative for the new administration.
So more American families can realize the American Dream, I pray the new administration will institute a Family Week”. It has been proven that a family that work and pray tpgether will stay together. Let’s start at the top and trickle down frm the White House to our houses new ways for all families to realize the Americn Dream within their family system.
I’m very excited about the days ahead may God bless all in this world.
Go Sarah go.
