McCain Picks 'Hockey Mom' for VP

 
GOP Presidential nominee John McCain has picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for his VP, a self-styled "hockey mom" and little known Alaska governor. Palin, 44, is a first-term governor, pro-life advocate -- and hockey player. The pick comes as a surprise, as Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was thought to be the top choice. Sarah is a mom to five -- Bristol, Willow, Piper, Track and Trig, who was born in April with Down syndrome. See Also: Heidi - McCain's Veep?! OMG! McCain & Obama to Appear in OC!
