McCain chooses Alaska Governor Palin as vice president - 3rd Update
Note:
Washington - Republican presidential hopeful John McCain announced little-known Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate on Friday, a choice that brings strong conservative credentials to the ballot. Palin, 44, was a surprise pick because of her low profile in national politics. But her addition to the ticket could help McCain win the support of the Republican right that has been skeptical of his candidacy. "I found someone with an outstanding reputation for standing up to special interests and entrenched bureaucracies," McCain said during the announcement at a rally in Dayton, Ohio.

Note:
DENVER: Good, great or something else, Senator Barack Obama's acceptance speech Thursday night unquestionably confronted two of his greatest challenges.
One was to help voters, in emotion-laden language, to connect his promise of "change" to more earthly policy proposals, the other to show he could take the fight to Senator John McCain over Obama's own image and the best way forward for the nation.
Obama showed real fire, and directed memorable fire at his opponent, even on McCain's signature issue, national security. "If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the temperament and judgment to serve as the next commander in chief, that's a debate I'm ready to have," he said.
