Fox News is confirming from a senior campaign source that it’s Palin.

Fox confirms it’s Palin. A senior campaign official confirmed it with Carl Cameron.

Fox news just said 12 minutes.

Two REAL heroes running on one ticket. Now officially and exclusively confrmed to Fox news.

The University of Dayton’s Flyer Band is on hand providing music. I, on the other hand, am trapped here in the University lecturing the young skulls full of mush.

I think I get why Sarah Palin is the choice, other than her obvious conservative credentials.

She will attack Obama (VP’s job)...but this is a white female attaking Obama...McCain already has the white male vote sowed up...not so with women. Therefore, have a female explain to that segment of the electorate why Obama is a false hope...I think the McCain campaign sees this as a better strategy than having a white guy like Romney et. al. attacking a black guy over his politics...

Just my $.02

Fox News - OFICIAL CONFIRMATION - It is Paulin!!!!!

[LibertyRocks]

All I have to say is that if it is indeed true, if Sarah Heath “Barracuda” Palin is McCain’s VP pick:

THANK YOU, JOHN! THANK YOU!

And KUDOS for keeping the press on their toes. I’ll bet they haven’t done this much real legwork to try to get a story in a long, long time. :) (Hee Hee... Too funny!)

[Momaw Nadon]

Palin at 95% on InTrade.

Sarah Palin! This is good news!

[TAdams8591]

McCain had two good choices. He picked one of them!!! As disappointed as I may be about Romney : (, I am happy it’s Palin. : ) She’s a good choice for conservatives, the party and the country! We can win this one, YES WE CAN!!!!

McCain has been smart during this election. I’ve liked his ads, his timely, and NOT delayed, response to attacks and now his choice for VP. I do believe, my gosh, he’s listening to us.
