Republican nominee for this upcoming 2008 election, John McCain has elected his running mate, Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska and she has little foreign policy experience. Although she's not in the Washington Beltway, McCain said to a rally "She's not from these parts, and she's not from Washington, but when you get to know her, you're going to be as impressed as i am."
Sarah Palin is sticking to her beliefs, but she applauds other women that are willing to try to take a stand and try to run for a presidential ticket like Hillary Clinton tried to do. Palin said in one of her rallies, "Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America, but it turns out the women of America aren’t finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all." She has a strong belief that women are more than capable of running for a postition that used to be viewed as a "man's job", and she is very supportive of other influential women in politics for taking a stand, even if they do not have the same political views.
Although Palin is McCain's running mate they do not have the same political views. They both have their own opinions on several different topics, but in general they do agree on most things. Some of the few things that Palin and McCain have different views on are, Palin believes that Alaska should drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and McCain doesnt agree. Palin isnt convinced that global warming is driven by pollution, which is different for most of the people in her political party. Most people in her party accepts that global warming is driven by pollution, like McCain.
Personally, I approve McCains choice of picking a female running mate because she may provide a different outlook when it comes to politics about how things should be run. As a women she would be able to relate to how women feel when it comes to politics and how women feel like a country should be run, where as typically the country is run by males. I also feel that with McCain picking a women as his running mate he may have been hoping to gain a few of Hillary Clinton supporters. I like the idea of Palin having different views and opinions on some issues that are different from what her party usually supports, such as global warming. Although i feel that she may not have enough experience to hold her own when it comes to politics once it goes to DC. Shes use to being the governor of Alaska, which is relatively small when comparing populations of some of the larger state governors may have more experience on how to run and keep order in a country, when they are use to having to run, and impress more people.
