On Friday morning, news broke that John McCain official chose Gov. Sarah Biden (R-AK). The politico world was expecting some sort of shake-up candidate for the maverick, but few suspected Palin.
Her little known background will certainly benefit McCain in the next two months, but some are critical of his choice saying she is without the necessary experience, having only been a governor for two years, and she lacks the economic flare that a Romney would have brought to the ticket.
However, it is no secret why he chose her: disgruntled Clintonites.
In her debut appearance in Dayton, Ohio, Gov. Palin spent no time beating around the Bush, and praised Sen. Hillary Clinton for a job well done in her respective race.
Palin also offers valid experience and a diverse background. She has a history of cleaning up corruption in Alaska, especially with energy producers. Also, she offers a solid conservative ideology, coupled with a beautiful family, life time NRA membership, and a pro-union household.
As a large group of Wesleyan students is traveling to Washington, PA on Saturday to a McCain-Palin rally, they will see first hand how effective the Republican ticket will be in the coming months.

What do you think about the rumors that her youngest child actually belongs to her daughter? Or that her daughter is currently pregnant now? Will this take away some of the evangelical votes that Republicans have received the past two elections?
Do you think that McCain will be able do win over a respectable amount of female voters who were once on the Hillary Clinton boat with his choice of Palin as a VP?
