The Republican’s first female vice-presidential candidate
Just over two years ago she was a small-town mayor, but now Sarah Palin, Alaska’s 44-year-old governor and mother of five, is the Republican’s first female vice-presidential candidate.
She was presented to the party faithful at a rally in Dayton, Ohio during the Republican’s convention where John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said Palin was exactly what he needed to complete the party’s ticket.
