McCain praises VP choice Palin's 'tenacity' - Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain introduced his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, at an Ohio rally Friday, praising her "tenacity" and "skill" in tackling tough problems.

Palin is McCain's boldest gamble - Sarah Palin is as dramatic a contrast as one can envision with Republican presidential candidate John McCain. The differences between the presidential candidate and his running mate are so stark that it s hard to assess which one is boldest: age, sex , political experience, or geographical remoteness.
