I had the opportunity today to witness a historic event. I was at the Nutter Center in Dayton Ohio when John McCain announced his running mate to the world. He chose Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin. The place was packed. The crowd was enthusiastic. McCain was tied up in traffic on interstate 675 so he arrived a little late. There was rock music playing to warm up the crowd. When John Mccain came out the crowd gave him a very loud applause that lasted for about 5 minutes before he was able to speak. McCain spoke briefly before announcing that he had chosen a woman. He mentioned something about her being a union member, a mother, and some other things. The crowd grew enthusiastic as they knew it was a woman nominee. She came on the stage and was cheered. She gave a speech that was also well received. Here are some of the pics I captured today. Sarah with her husband and daughter signing an autograph
