Where in the world is Sarah Palin?
 

While speculation continues to buzz that the governor of Alaska is at the top of McCain’s VP list, some news outlets are reporting she’s in Dayton, OH for the McCain rally while ABC News maintains she is still in Alaska.
 

The Associated Press states:

A Gulfstream IV from Anchorage, Alaska, flew into Middletown Regional Airport in Butler County near Cincinnati about 10:15 p.m. Thursday, said Rich Bevis, airport manager. He said several people came off the plane, including a woman and two teens, but there was no confirmation of who was aboard.

Palin would certainly make an interesting VP choice. The 44-year-old mother of five is younger than Obama so at least she’s a counterbalance to the ancient McCain. She graduated from the University of Idaho with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a minor in politics.

Speaking of politics (oh, yeah that's important too), the first-term governor considers herself a "maverick" and is credited with reforms in her often forgotten state.
 

Oh, and did we mention she’s a woman. Take that Obama – you don’t have the monopoly on minorities in government.
 

Plus, she was first runner-up in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant in 1984.
 

Nice.

Updated: Palin is McCain's pick.
