Springfield Il; earlier today 20-30 thousand politically minded fans gathered to watch Barack Obama introduce Joe Biden as his running mate. The line, waiting to gather around the foot steps of the Old Illinois State Capitol building, snaked around the downtown area of Springfield for several blocks.
McCain waste no time taking back the spotlight. Just hours after the Democratic Convention, McCain announced his running mate, 44 year old Alaskan Governor, wife and mother of five, Sarah Palin. "She's not from these parts and she's not from Washington but when you get to know her you will be as impressed as I am," Said McCain in front of 15,000 spectators in Dayton Ohio.
