McCain picks Sarah Palin

There's been so much media attention on Barack Obama in recent months that it is easy to forget that the Republican candidate is standing against him. Coupled with this earlier in the year, the prospect was raised that Hilary Clinton could have been the first female President of the USA.

But now McCain has picked Sarah Palin, a former beuaty queen, as his running mate. Mrs Palin's husband is a world champion snowmachine racer, whatever that is. And who knows, maybe she will one day end up being President? She's got more chance than Geraldine Farrago anyway!
