In a bold move, John McCain has selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running-mate. (Updated with video from the announcement.)
The 44-year old governor of the 49th state, Palin is relatively unknown, but being painted as a very traditionally-conservative VP choice, with a McCain-esque maverick bent, and was apparently called Sarah Barracuda when she led her Wasilla high school basketball team to a championship.
So it’s set: Joe-Bama vs. … Jon-Rah (pronounced genre)? Looks liks business is about to pick up.
