“I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election against confident opponents at a crucial hour for our country,” said Sarah Palin on Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN. The 44 year-old Governor of Alaska was chosen by Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) as his Vice Presidential Nominee. Palin, a self-proclaimed “soccer-mom” from Wasilla, AK, apparently has enough political experience to perhaps be the leader of the free world.
