John McCain has picked the current governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, as his running mate. Although she is not the person most people thought would get the nod, she was always a fairly likely candidate.

Palin won the election for governor in 2006, after exposing corruption in her own party, and defeating the incumbent in the Republican primaries. Overall her character seems similar to that of John McCain, and by choosing her I think McCain wants to strengthen the view that people who want substantial, rather than superficial, change should opt for the Republican ticket.

Personally I know rather little about Palin. You can read more about her in the Wikipedia, the Washington Post, and in the Weekly Standard.
