Sarah Palin, the Republicans’ surprise choice for the vice-presidential slot on the presidential ticket, will go before her party’s national convention and her fellow Americans tonight and make her first major address since presumptive presidential nominee John McCain chose her for the No. 2 spot.

Meanwhile, McCain flew into the Twin Cities, arriving about noon at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. He was met on the tarmac by among others his wife, Cindy, and Palin and her family.

That included Palin’s pregnant teenage daughter, Bristol, and father-to-be Levi Johnston. McCain gave Bristol numerous hugs, patted Johnston on the arm and spoke with the couple longer than any of the others in the greeting line.

Palin, the first-term Alaska governor, will accept her party’s nomination at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul starting at about 9:30 p.m. CDT, said McCain campaign manager Rick Davis, noting that “I’m sure everybody is excited about” what she has to say.

In a humorous nod to the talkative ways of an earlier speaker, Davis said that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s turn at the podium earlier in the evening might back up the schedule a bit on Day 3 of the four-day convention.
