Republican candidate John McCain JUST announced that he is choosing Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin. Yep, you heard it right, she's a female candidate! Here is a few things you may not know about Palin and Biden that we think you should so you can get to know them a little bit more, eh? Palin is a 44-year-old first-term governor and mother of five from Wasilla, Alaska. She's an ice fisherman, a moose hunter and a lifetime NRA member. Now we're talking! She won Miss Wasilla in 1984 and competed in the Miss Alaska contest. She's even worked as a TV sports announcer. Geez, this lady has quite a broad range of interests!
Democratic Presidental hopeful Barack Obama announced last week that he is choosing Delaware's Joe Biden to join him as his Vice President running-mate. Biden is serving out his sixth term, making him Delaware's longest-serving senator. He is married and has three children. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware and got a law degree from Syracuse.
In January, this means that The United States will either have its first African-American President or first female Vice-President! Pretty exciting stuff, we think!
