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.

I never said I was a highly educated man. Yes it is my problem that as you say, I failed me. But I am smart enough to know when some one is telling the truth. And if you get all your news from the New york Times, that explans alot. When they report that it was a leader but not the poeple of a socialist counrtry. Does'nt it make you think. When the BBC reported what the average Europeans thought about it, That;s what I was talking about. And as for the private school, where did that come from. It was a Public (government) school. I also have a birth defect that makes it hard for me to speek. Befor ADD or ADHD was found out, and I was good at sports, they just past me on untill I got hurt but by then it was to late. I did go back to school to learn a trade, but when I got laid off, I went back to learn another on my own. No help from anyone. Yes it is my personal resonsibility to work hard. To make a better life for my family.
