Is Alaska Gov. Sara Palin McCain’s VP Pick?

Alaska Gov. Sara Palin talks to constituents.

The Chicago Tribune this morning reports that Alaska Gov. Sara Palin is John McCain’s VP selection although campaign officials have refused to confirm or deny the report.

Jill Zuckman writes:

“Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Campaign officials, however, remain mum this morning.

“McCain is expected to announce his choice at a rally in Dayton later.

“Palin is the first woman governor of Alaska, elected in 2006. She was also the youngest ever elected at the age of 42. She is the mother of five children, the youngest of whom was born in April and has Down syndrome. She ran on a clean government platform in '06 to defeat the incumbent Republican Governor Frank Murkowski.

“McCain reportedly considered Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, among others.”
