¡üMcCain Picks Alaska Governor; Palin First Woman on GOP Ticket Sen. John McCain confounded conventional wisdom Friday by announcing first-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate, a decision that guarantees that either an African American or a woman will ascend to the White House for the first time in history next year.
The senator from Arizona lived up to his maverick reputation, bypassing former rivals and more experienced governors to choose the little-known Palin, 44, as the person "who can best help me shake up Washington."
The self-described "hockey mom" brings a blue-collar conservatism and strong antiabortion views to the ticket and appeals to a party base sometimes suspicious of McCain. She made an immediate pitch to female voters, especially those who had supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries, saying that her selection "could help shatter the glass ceiling once and for all."¡¦¡¦¡¦
McCain and Democratic rival Barack Obama, opposites in so many ways, took dramatically different paths in making their vice presidential selections. Obama, 47, a first-term senator from Illinois who is battling the charge that he lacks the experience for the job, chose 65-year-old Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., a 35-year member of the Senate and a foreign policy expert.
McCain, a war hero and world traveler who has served in Congress for more than a quarter-century, selected a woman who has no national or international experience and is younger than two of his children, but who he said shares his belief in reform and relishes the role of outsider.¡¦¡¦¡¦
Palin was poised in her first turn on the national stage, with her husband, Todd, and four of her five children -- daughters Bristol, Willow and Piper and 4-month-old son Trig -- behind her. She said her oldest son, Track, enlisted in the Army last Sept. 11 and will be deployed to Iraq on Sept. 11 of this year.¡¦¡¦¡¦
Palin took over as governor of Alaska in December 2006, becoming the youngest person and the first woman to hold the office. ¡¦¡¦¡¦On her campaign Web site, she describes herself as a "conservative Republican" who believes firmly in free-market capitalism, as well as a "lifetime member" of the National Rifle Association who has a strong commitment to gun rights. She also said she opposes abortion and believes that "marriage should only be between a man and a woman."¡¦¡¦¡¦
Palin has gained a great following in the conservative and evangelical movements by virtue of her strong antiabortion views.¡¦¡¦¡¦"How refreshing that now we have a woman who reflects the values of mainstream American women,'' said Janice Shaw Crouse of the conservative group Concerned Women for America.¡ÚWashington Post¡§August 30, 2008¡Û
¡üMcCain Chooses Palin as Running Mate Senator John McCain astonished the political world on Friday by naming Sarah Palin, a little-known governor of Alaska¡¦¡¦¡¦as his running mate on the Republican presidential ticket.¡¦¡¦¡¦In selecting her, Mr. McCain reached far outside the Washington Beltway in an election year in which the Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama, is running on a platform of change.¡¦¡¦¡¦
Her selection amounted to a gamble that an infusion of new leadership — and the novelty of the Republican Party¡Çs first female candidate for vice president — would more than compensate for the risk that Ms. Palin could undercut one of the McCain campaign¡Çs central arguments, that Mr. Obama is too inexperienced to be president.
Democrats and at least some shocked Republicans questioned the judgment of Mr. McCain, who has said repeatedly on the campaign trail that his running mate should have the qualifications to immediately step into the role of commander in chief. ¡¦¡¦¡¦
Many conservatives said that the choice would energize them, giving Mr. McCain the support of a highly active group of voters and volunteers whose support was crucial to both of President Bush¡Çs victories. ¡¦¡¦¡¦¡ÚNew York Times¡§August 30, 2008¡Û

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has opened the general election campaign with a six-point lead over Republican John McCain, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday.
Obama, an Illinois senator, leads McCain among registered voters, 47 to 41 percent. In the previous NBC/Journal poll in late April, Obama was leading the Arizona senator by three points, 46 percent to 43 percent.
Among respondents who said they voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries, 61 percent favored Obama and 19 percent said they preferred McCain.
The poll found Obama leading McCain among African Americans, Hispanics, women and blue-collar workers.
Among white men, who made up 36 percent of the electorate in the 2004 presidential election, McCain has a 20-point lead over Obama, 55 percent to 35 percent, NBC reported.
Obama's lead over McCain expands when New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is added as Obama's running mate, the poll found.
An Obama-Clinton ticket would defeat a Republican one of McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by nine points, 51 percent to 42 percent, NBC said.

Both presidential candidates are in the process of selecting a running mate.
Both Obama and McCain have promised "change" if they are elected to succeed U.S. President George W. Bush in the November 4 presidential election.
In the poll, 54 percent of respondents said they were looking for a president who would bring greater changes to current policies, even if that person is less experienced and tested, NBC reported.
Forty-two percent said they preferred a more experienced and tested person become president, even it means fewer changes.
The NBC/Journal poll of 1,000 voters was conducted from Friday through Monday. Clinton ended her bid for the White House on Saturday. The survey has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

Has last night's win for Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania altered the dynamics of the Democratic race? The media consensus appears to be that while there has been no substantive change, her solid 10-point victory has raised some awkward questions for Barack Obama.
Why, after a string of phenomenal successes, is he struggling to land a knock out blow on his rival? Is Clinton correct in her assertion that he is unable to carry the big states crucial to a Democratic victory in the autumn? The Obama camp has some strong answers, arguing that the former point could equally be applied to Clinton, the one time presumptive nominee. On the latter, it asserts that there are in fact not three or four battleground states but 10 or 11, a large swathe of which the Illinois senator has won. Nevertheless, it is a case that the campaign is going to have to argue very forcefully over the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, concerns over the destructive nature of the campaign are reaching stratospheric levels. The New York Times today appeared to be backtracking on its initial endorsement of Clinton with a scathing editorial urging her to drop her "mean, vacuous, desperate" tactics now for the sake of the party and calling on superdelegates to end the bloodbath as soon as possible.
The Washington Post cited exit polls suggesting that seven out of 10 voters thought Hillary had been unfair in her attacks, while half said the same of Obama. In another article, it appeared to query the utility of Hillary staying in the race, noting that it was almost impossible for her to catch her rival in the delegate count or popular vote. It quoted loyal Clinton supporters privately expressing doubts about her ability to prevail, even in the wake of her Pennsylvania win. ¡¦¡¦¡¦¡¦
