McCain makes VP pick.
Sen. John McCain announces Gov. Sarah Palin as his pick for vice president.
In just two years, Alaska's governor has gone from small-town mayor to McCain's VP choice.
McCain's veep choice is historic.
In two short years, Sarah Palin moved from small-town mayor with a taste for mooseburgers to the governor's office and now — making history — to John McCain's side as the first female running mate on a Republican presidential ticket.
McCain picked an independent figure in his own mold, one who has taken on Alaska's powerful oil industry and, at age 44, is three years younger than Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and a generation younger than McCain, 72.
McCain passed over many other better known prospects, some of whom had been the subject of intense speculation for weeks or months.
She brings a strong anti-abortion stance to the ticket and opposes gay marriage — constitutionally banned in Alaska before her time — but exercised a veto that essentially granted benefits to gay state employees and their partners.
"She knows where she comes from, and she knows who she works for," McCain said in introducing her to an Ohio rally. "She stands up for what's right, and she doesn't let anyone tell her to sit down." He said: "She's exactly who I need."
Said Palin: "I didn't get into government to do the safe and easy things. A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not why the ship is built."
Palin lives in Wasilla, a town of 6,500 about 30 miles north of Anchorage, with her husband, Todd, a blue-collar North Slope oil worker who won the 2007 Iron Dog, a 1,900-mile snowmobile race. He is part Yup'ik Eskimo. The two have spent summers fishing commercially for salmon, an enterprise that once left her with broken fingers aboard their boat.
Palin, who led the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at her high school, could help McCain's standing with social conservatives who have been skeptical of him.
"It's an absolutely brilliant choice," said Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law and founder of the legal group Liberty Counsel, who has sought to coalesce evangelicals around McCain. "This will absolutely energize McCain's campaign and energize conservatives."
Palin is "a woman of faith who has a strong position on life, a consistent opinion on judges," Staver said. "She's the complete package."
Four months into her most recent pregnancy, Palin learned the child would have Down syndrome, and she said she never had any doubts about whether she would have the baby.
"We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential," Palin said earlier this year in describing what she and her husband had confronted. Trig, her fifth child, was born in April.
Alaska's first female governor arrived at the Capitol in 2006 on an ethics reform platform after defeating two former governors in the primary and general elections.
In the primary, Palin defeated incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski, who also had 22 years of experience in the U.S. Senate. タグ:sarahpalinmccainpicksvp 投稿日: August 30, 2008, 5:23 am 閲覧数: 96870 投票: 3.60(５点満点) 95 人の平均

The work that we face in our time is great
in a time of war
and the terrible sacrifices it entails
the promise of a better future is not always clear
there's gonna be other wars
I'm sorry to tell you there's gonna be other wars
there's gonna be a lot of combat wounds
and my friends it's gonna be tough
and we're gonna have a lot to do
That old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran?
Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb...
I'm still convinced that withdrawal means chaos
and if you think that things are bad now
if we withdraw--you ain't seen nothing yet
was the war a good idea, worth the price in blood and treasure?
It was a good idea
President Bush talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years
Maybe a hundred, that's fine with me
I don't think Americans are concerned if we're there for a hundred years, or a thousand years, or ten thousand years. タグ:newobamasongwill.i.amyeswe 投稿日: February 11, 2008, 10:34 pm 閲覧数: 1864734 投票: 4.50(５点満点) 8897 人の平均

Hi, i have had a lot of comments about this getting out of sync. Unfortunately this is nothing to do with me(works fine on my comp, and i have re-uploaded it numerous times), so i cant fix it :(. It may be something to do with the codec i used, but either way, it is a youtube prob. Sorry guys, and glad to have gotten so much positive feedback about it :D タグ:jbtbutlertrioguitarsolo 投稿日: December 28, 2005, 12:15 pm 閲覧数: 3460904 投票: 4.90(５点満点) 12994 人の平均
