John McCain chose Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, as his VP. Palin is a reform-minded Republican who McCain stated is his soul mate--she's another Repub maverick. Gov Huckabee summarized Palin's qualifications as VP when he said: “I was a governor 10-and-a-half years. You get more experience to be president in a month of being governor than you do in several years as a senator, and let me explain why: When you’re a governor, you don’t sit around making speeches and listen to people talk in committee hearings. You make a decision every few minutes, you make them right now, you live with the consequences – if they’re wrong, everybody blames you, if they’re right, you have a hundred legislators all taking credit for it. But when you’re a senator, you know you have the luxury of picking two or three issues, you don’t have to look at the whole field of play . . . Sarah Palin had more executive experience as the Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, than Barack Obama has had in his entire life.”
