Palin will be the first female vice presidential nominee of the Republican Party when she is formally nominated at the party's Sept. 1-4 convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Palin, now in her first term as governor, is the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state's top political job.
I guess McCain’s points As to Sen. Obama being too young and en experienced goes out the door here.
She married her high school sweetheart, Todd Palin, on August 29, 1988,
“Sarah Palin, whose husband works for BP (formerly British Petroleum), has repeatedly put special interests first when it comes to the environment," Schlickeisen continued. "In her scant two years as governor, she has lobbied aggressively to open up the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge to drilling, pushed for more drilling off of Alaska’s coasts, and put special interests above science. Ms. Palin has made it clear through her actions that she is unwilling to do even as much as the Bush administration to address the impacts of global warming.

Todd Palin, Shadow Governor of Alaska
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/29/155145/681/530/579154
Her most recent effort has been to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, putting Big Oil before sound science.
As unbelievable as this may sound, this actually puts her to the right of the Bush administration."
As governor, Palin also opposed designating polar bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, fearing that step would get in the way of a proposed natural gas pipeline tapping the North Slope's vast reserves.
Palin is considered to have similar policy positions to John McCain in most respects. One exception is drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), which Palin strongly supports and McCain has opposed.[65] She has supported aspects of Democratic nominee Barack Obama's energy pla
Alaska's Governor now facing ethics-related probe
You may recall that all three members of Alaska's Congressional Delegation, Senator Ted Stevens, Senator Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Don Young, made CREW's list of the most corrupt members of Congress, Beyond DeLay.
Now, the relatively new Governor, Sarah Palin, is in hot water and may be facing a legislative in Alaska Senate leaders want an investigation of whether Gov. Sarah Palin pressured and then fired the public safety commissioner because he wouldn't get rid of a state trooper who had gone through a bitter divorce with Palin's sister.
"I'm fairly confident at this point that what we're going to see is the appointment of an independent investigator," said Anchorage Democratic Sen. Hollis French, chairman of the judiciary committee.
Palin denied any wrongdoing Monday and said she welcomed an investigation.
"I've said all along, hold me accountable," Palin told reporters in Juneau. "And I'm telling the truth when I say that there was never pressure put on Commissioner Monegan."
The governor said she didn't think any conversations she, her husband, Todd, or members of her administration had with the commissioner about Mike Wooten should have been taken as pressure to get rid of the trooper.
From the comment here she’s putting the needs of Alaska ahead of the nation.
The other point is her question about what an VP does.
The ongoing ethics investigation seems to be cool with her.
Via the ever informative Anchorage Daily News:
http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/33465
Seizing on themes Obama has made trademarks of his candidacy, she added, "If you want change in Washington, if you hope for a better America, we're asking for your vote."
For Palin, her landslide re-election in 1999 answered the critics.
It was the one election where her slogan changed from "new ideas" to "stay the course."
Sound like something you heard from another?
On other fronts Palin has a strong anti-abortion record, which aligns with McCain’s last position on the issue even if he don’t remember
Palin is pro-life and a prominent member of Feminists for Life.[35][36][37] A 2006 article in the Anchorage Daily News refers to her as "pro-contraception," but does not go into detail on the subject. McCain doesn't like to talk about that issue either.
But if you break down statements and actions from McCain himself. you need to ask your self some questions.
1. Shes young and not a lot of experience on forign policy the main line of attack on Sen. Obama.
2. McCain has an issue of respect toward women some examples is that of his first wife if this was the only source would not in its self would be an factor .
But there is another more telling example during a biker convention. McCain tried to talk his wife to flash her wares in front of a crowd of bikers. this coupled with the event of calling his wife the C word.
McCain said the reason for his choice "I have found the right partner to help me stand up to those who value their privileges over their responsibilities, who put power over principle, and put their interests before your needs,"
Note he did not say to help lead our nation but who would help in his beliefs "who value their privileges" does that mean those in power or who have money?
If not because of age or experience and that of repect than the issue of chooice than comes down to that of using her as a pawn to advance his postion in the what has been a game to lead our counrty at the cost of human life as well as the hardships of the middle class and elderly of our nation.
Surely he's shown he's not past this
McCain's anti-choice, anti-science, anti-environment, anti-gay right wing extremist pick for vice president -- particularly important in view of Sen. McCain's advanced years and failing health -- reveals the depth of his cynicism and condescension towards American voters, women in particular.
But maybe there is another underlaying reason.
As you remember the big issue of Huckabee not being in the running was the question of his relationship to Bill Gothard and Kennth Copeland.
Bill Gothard was the one behind character first in our schools .I would suggest you goggle him and Bush relationship as to others. And the connection of the no child left behind act.
But was also behind the character city program. a program where autority is never to be questioned.
Kennth Copeland The one who set up the questionable Donation drive for Huckabee.
Currently under investigation
While running for Governor of Alaska, Palin advocated the teaching of both creationism and evolution in public schools;But the next day, she said, "Creationism doesn't have to be part of the curriculum" and that she would not use "religion as a litmus test, or anybody's personal opinion on evolution or creationism" as criteria for selection to the school board.
On Sarah Palin's ties, but not the politician herself.
The community dark_christian, which keeps tabs on some of the darker elements of Christianity (in North America and abroad), has recently taken an interest in McCain's VP pick, Sarah Palin because of some information linked to on her
Wikipedia page (i.e. something from a citation, not just assertion, though the interpretation of the citation may be a little inaccurate: is her denomination Assemblies of God--i.e. bad--or Lutheran--i.e. indeterminate bad or good) as well as a statement she made about Creationism (i.e. people are jumping on any chance to analyze this relative newcomer).
One of the members more experienced and knowledgeable in the ways of certain strains of Christianity, and a more prolific blogger, dogemperor, on the scent of some links in the first post, has sniffed around at the ties Palin has, since she was recently largely unknown to the U.S. at large, unlike Biden, who was at least marginally visible so far.
The links below (from this thread) are on Palin's TIES, not the politician herself, so you should not look at this as reflecting on her character, because I seriously doubt that that's why the post(s) were written. These are in part to look at some reasons McCain might have chosen her.

Southern Seminary Guilty by Association or a Case of the Emperor's New Clothes?
Sarah Palin was known as"Sarah Barracuda," for her style of play being hard driving. Staying true to their core, certain bedrock, unflinching principles.
Sarah Palin demonstrated one of her allegedly bedrock, unflinching principles a long, long time ago - well, um, almost seven months ago - when
she refused to endorse Arizona's senior Senator for President:
An issue here is the news of her having nude pictures on the web of her.
To be clear here the act its self after having been passed these pictures to view is this.
If the pictures are on the up and up the fact that one does things when they are younger and regreats doing them come to mind.
Example tatoos body percings in places just about every where you could think of ,Hair cuts ect.
After seeing pictures in question they are not taken in context of porn being taken for fashion would be a bit much but more of art.
The act its self I don't deem as being related to her job performance. But where I do take a stand is that of he image she would produce in talks across a table where being female to 3rd world nations all ready view women in different light would put her behind the curb. I don't thank the image would help here.
This is no different than the issue I take on McCain suggesting his wife flash her wares at an biker convention the chances of someone getting picture with camera phone is just about a given and would have been on the net in less than an hour world wide.
McCain on the other hand known As Mc Nasty being known for temper and being abusiveand an unwillingness to come to the table and talk unless they agree to all our terms. One one hand putting forth he was an P.O.W and tortured on the other saying water boarding not an torture and disregurding the rights of those captured by doing it. Our brand of torture ok. The thought of McCain's well known temper comes to mind if someone at talks flashs a picture of his wife if it had happed.
On another note here he hates them Gooks always will. Which in my view says alot about one asking others to believe in really change but refuse's to understand things change and the need to change this path. not stay the course.
Some Alaska Republicans are conflicted over McCain, including Gov. Sarah Palin. They like his maverick reputation and military background but not his opposition to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
"She said she'd like to support McCain but felt she couldn't at this particular time because of his stand on ANWR," said the governor's spokeswoman, Sharon Leighow.
What is McCain's stand on ANWR? A very different sounding postion now dril at all cost no mater how long before it benifits or effects the current issue.
As recently as less than seven months ago, Sarah Palin refused to even endorse McCain because of a position of McCain's that, in a relatively rare occurrence, has not changed. That's how strongly principled she was (note the past tense) in support of drilling in ANWR.
Palin has signed on to the Bush administration's economic policies, opposes increasing the minimum wage, and opposes equal pay for equal work regardless of gender.
And this is McCain's way of reaching out to women and the working class?
McCain passed over many other better qualified prospects in his search for a vice presidential nominee, simply because in his insulting attempt to pander to the female vote
The fact that he picked the distinctly under-qualified -- but very photogenic -- Palin and passed over Kay Bailey Hutchison, the Texas senator who is very knowledgeable about the military, but is, unlike Palin, not a former beauty queen. (Palin was a runner-up in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant.)
"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience .
Both being labeled "maverick" one willing to buck the system to change it.
This begging the question as to if that image being thrown to the wind getting on board for the same good old boy system she use to fight.
Or unknowingly or willing being the pawn in whats now a game where only the ones not playing pay the fines .
The other willing to do any thing to maintain it and stay the course to lead us being the counrty who don,t work hard enough and nation of whinners .
It was not hard to follow the path of attack to try to create rif between Sen. Clinton And Sen.Obama At a time that we should be trying to unite this nation proclaiming we are not working hard enough being an nation of whinners is an insult.
The people of this nation are tired of being used and lied to in the name of protecting us.
In thinking of past events is not but one step short of us going to war to protect those in another nation to protect their rights even if we end up killing them to do it.
On this note something I've been fighting with to post or not is this question.

http://thail.blogspot.com/2008/08/oh-crap-now-i-am-really-worried.html
I tossed back and forth in postings this .
But my view is this if true on several different levels effect an greater number of people in our nation.
The biggest point is being miss leading with information. I think this nation has been lead down the garden path enough. As to the current war we are in trying to promote it now with the flag and we are protecting peoples rights. And the loss of life of our vets as well as the great cost to our country.
This does not excuse the fact it was started based on lies. Nor the fact that the people that we are protecting their rights and saving them from abuse are being killed to do it.
She is going for a high office to represent the people she would take a pledge to up hold our laws of our nation. Correct me if wrong here but I believe faking or falsifying records is against the law.
This issue would also conflict with her stands on some other issues she is backing.
Sarah Palin belongs to a group called Feminists For Life.
August 29, 2008 - FFL Member Nominated for Vice President of the United States
Also the fact if this true she would have had to offer something for those to go along with this. That is I believe called Bribery .
The most hurtful issue if true would be to her family believe that is not my attempt here.
but if true the issue of her Daughter not being Legal age of constant if one or both parties under age thats viewed as rape. Which is another issue of her not up holding the laws.
In the interest of truth I think these records should be reviewed
To save the stess on the fingers of those who want to make comments such as moonbat or left winnger or tell me to go play in traffic save your time.
My purpuse here is to bring out the truth now instead of finding out later.
Wanting to protect her family shows she cares and strength of character but if running for office is bad judgment because of the needs of the many more than out way the needs of the few.
In Ohio Friday, McCain and Palin both noted that he was choosing her as his vice presidential running mate the week of the 88th anniversary of women's suffrage.
It's interesting the comments made by her in this same week the anniversary of women's suffrage.
Palin: Hillary Clinton is a whiner
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/29/144749/984/664/579036
Seems I remember another getting fired by McCain for a like comment but than again Hillary is only one vote not the public of our nation.

UpDate:
Picture have surfaced .
Showing her with child but as with the nude pictures which I viewed as art not porn abut more of art does not effect her job ability except in image if true.
There are still questions here
First the other pictures removed from her site .
Location of where these picture found and timing.
This picture includes "Press Secretary McAllister," yet he was not appointed until last month; therefore the picture in the diary was taken in August, after she had given birth.
The picture taken during interview of local news team but Ive not found the clip of the interview as to what it was for.
She gets on two planes, flies over eight hours, after her water breaks, to have a down syndrome baby in a third-rate rural hospital with a doctor with whom she had a well-established history of mutual political back-scratching. Does nothing to help this issue.
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/things-that-mak.html
This time would like to see the truth confrimed before a war and 22 friends not coming home.
Have seen no up dates on other investigation to date if any please post.
Some photos to compare from another birth of hers at same time period.

News flash Here:
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/01/1318541.aspx
I kind of wish the truth to have come out another way.
But I believe it had to come out .
Being govener of the state and the laws covering under age Sex with child even if both agree is an issue that I think would have been better served with all the facts.
To her daughter I my self sorry if she became cannon fire I in now way wish il on your or yours .
But the fact that are nation has been lied to and no longer willing to take things at face value take an stand. The fact that your mom wanted to protect shows a lot of love and I would think that issue would be understood . The problem comes with being VP holds her to higher level of truth no mater what the reason. The stand that she has taken on other issues than to take another is question as to you can't ask the public to do some thing she would not do.
As harsh as this sounds the reality of being near when an mother of afriend has to tell them their dad is not coming home or will get to take them to the park . Theres just nothing to prepare you to see the pain and hurt that brings to a child of 5 who dosen't understand.
If reading this you are not the first one to have to go this path and not the last you will have chooices through out your life some you choose right some wrong . That's life and you will have to grow up faster but as one to bring in life to this world you will understand why there are those who don't mind to fight for freedom but not waste that life no matter what color age shape gender or beliefs that includes parties GOP or Dems
Nothing perfect mainly my typing and not always the best at putting feelings to paper.
But if we don't make the right decsion now your furtue and that of the generations behind us will be harder and after the last eight years things already hard enough.
Again I wish you and yours well and Ask please forgive any pain I cause you was not my intent
