DAYTON, Ohio — In a surprise move, Senator John McCain
chose Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate on Friday, shaking
up the political world at a time when his campaign has been trying to
attract women, especially disaffected supporters of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, McCain officials confirmed. In choosing Ms. Palin — a 44-year-old conservative Christian and self-described “hockey mom” who has been governor for less than two years — the McCain campaign reached far outside the Washington Beltway in an election in which the Democratic nominee, Senator Barack Obama, is running on a platform of change. Ms. Palin, a former mayor of the small town of Wasilla and beauty pageant queen, first rose to prominence as a whistle-blower uncovering ethical misconduct in state government. McCain chooses Gov.
