McCain Names Former Miss Alaska Contestant as Running Mate

We are pleased to announce that former Miss Alaska contestant, Sarah
Heath Palin, has just been named as John McCain’s vice-presidential
candidate on the Republican ticket. In 1984, Palin was chosen as Miss
Wasilla and went on to become the 1st runner-up in the Miss Alaska
Pageant and received the Miss Congeniality award the same year. Her
husband, Todd Palin was a judge in the 2008 Miss Alaska Pageant.

Congratulations on this exciting news for the Miss Alaska Organization!
