Mondello on Governor Palin

ALBANY, NY (08/29/2008)(readMedia)-- Republican efforts continue to gather energy and momentum following John McCain's selection of Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate. This groundbreaking choice is the latest wise decision from a man who has served his country with courage, dedication and vision for decades.

Heading into the National Convention, Republicans have the support and unity they need to be successful in the elections this fall from the Presidental contest down to New York races for Congress, the State Legislature and local offices.

Governor Palin's strength of conviction, willingness to take on the status quo to make government work for people and experience as both a mother and an chief executive make her the perfect pick to be the next Vice President. She makes an ideal complement to John McCain and completes one of most impressive tickets in recent memory.
