CONSERVATIVES HAIL MCCAIN VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK

Minneapolis, MN—David Keene, Chairman of the American Conservative Union, has issued the following statement on Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain's pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.

"The selection of Governor Palin is great news for conservatives, for the party and for the country. Her dedication to principle, her courage both before and after her election as Governor of Alaska and her personal qualities make her a perfect choice for Vice President. I predict any conservatives who have been lukewarm thus far in their support of the McCain candidacy will work their hearts out between now and November for the McCain - Palin ticket."
