From the RNC

The McCain campaign put out these statements lauding the performance of Gov. Sarah Palin:
Patricia Bates, Orange County Supervisor: "Sarah Palin, like John McCain, knows what real reform and the right kind of change look like because she has taken on special interests and government corruption as governor of Alaska. She also knows the importance of finding realistic solutions to our current energy economy and that national security is imperative. John McCain could not have chosen a better or stronger running mate."

Sharon Runner, Assemblywoman: "Sarah Palin, as a former mayor and current governor, has shown her the strength of character and integrity as she has stood up to entrenched interests and government corruption. She has proven that she will put the well-being of citizens above politics. She has the experience to handle the most important issues that we face, like national security and energy. We are delighted that John McCain chose such a strong woman to be our vice presidential nominee."
