McCain Picks VP

This story makes me mad lol...I wanted him to pick Romney. It makes me wonder if he's going to win now...

Sen. John McCain on Friday announced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate, calling her "the running mate who can best help me shake up Washington."

"She's exactly who this country needs to help me fight the same old Washington politics of me first and country second," the presumptive Republican nominee said at a Dayton, Ohio, rally of about 15,000 supporters, who welcomed the surprise pick of the relatively unknown politician with cheers and flags.

"She's got the grit, integrity, good sense and fierce devotion to the common good that is exactly what we need in Washington today," McCain said.

Palin, 44, described herself as a fighter against corruption and a bipartisan reformer in her first appearance as a candidate for vice president, an office she said she never expected to seek.

I think McCain picked a woman as VP to try and win over unsure Hillary Clinton supporters that really wanted a woman on the ticket. So either way we're making history. W'll have either an African-American president or woman vice president. I bet the race will get even tighter!
