Alaska first-term Gov. Sarah Palin has been tapped to be Sen. John McCain's running mate on the Republican ticket, a campaign source said Friday.
A senior member of McCain's campaign confirmed the choice of Palin, 44, CNN reported. Fox News cited a campaign source with the same confirmation.
CNN said it was tipped to the choice when it learned a private plane from Anchorage, Alaska, landed about 25 miles from Dayton, Ohio, site of where McCain was to announce his vice presidential choice Friday.
"The fact that she is not a Washingtonian, that she is outside the beltway ... is in her favor," U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, told CNN. "I think it's a breath of fresh air.
Palin, 44, was elected governor in 2006.
Hutchison was under consideration early on as a running mate for McCain. Also on the short list were Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Just because you think that Mr. Obamas speech was so impressive, Hell, JFKs was 10 times more real. But if you think that you need even bigger government, move. If you think that Employers take such an advantage of workers, go to China and see how much they will let you speek. I am proud to be an American with the freedom of speech. If you don't like your job and think your not getting what you think you they owe you, change your job to get a better one. I did. Just because that John picked good looking beauty who is also smart and took the wind out of your sails. sorry. When Mr. Obama went over seas with (CNN ABC NBC CBS MSN) and the rest, and we were forced to the lies and how not proud that he is of us, What about that. When they had to fillup the places he spoke at with a concert first to get the poeple in and then a lot let because all he could speek is english, and they could not understand what he was saying. And the ones that did, was wondering why he was so hard on the Amaericans.(BBC). Even the French were laughing there ass off over the none substacne speeches he gave.
