Sarah Palin - Governor of Alaska
3
I'll happily admit that I don't know much at all about Sarah Palin, but she seems like an interesting character. Her choice is certainly a shock to most, so I think it helps reaffirm the image of John McCain as a maverick. Lets not forget the trivial manner in which many Americans make decisions, so it is possible that some people may be swayed by the presence of a likable, woman on the ticket. I'll be very interested to see how well she performs next week at the Republican convention, because it will pretty much be her coming out party to everybody outside the state of Alaska. She really needs to wow viewers to give McCain some buzz heading into the final months of the campaign.
