WASHINGTON D.C. (WSAZ) -- West Virginia Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito applauded the selection of a female to the Republican presidential ticket Friday. Senator John McCain, the presumptive nominee for president for the Republican Party, picked Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, as his running mate.
"As a woman, this is an incredibly exciting day to be involved in the political process," said Shelley Moore Capito, also West Virginia's lone female member of Congress. "In Gov. Sarah Palin we have the opportunity to elect a noted reformer, a mother and a popular governor from a well-known energy state to be our nation's next vice president."
Capito pointed out the historic significance of Palin's selection. She's the first female ever to be chosen for the GOP presidential ticket.

Tiffany - I hope you are ok...but if you aren't, know that I am very sorry for your loss & you'll be in my thoughts & prayers.
OK - I'll answer for Rose. I believe I can given all the examples shown below. ROSE'S ARGUMENT: Okay, again, Tiffany, you are not interpreting my comments accurately. I never used the race card either, I just allude to his "Muslin" roots, which cannot be denied (per R. Limbaugh (aka rehabbed druggie and my hero)). I've been doing some researchin' and I found that Obama is in Michigan this week. ACTUAL FACT: Obama is campaigning in Michigan (a battleground state) this week. More of Rose's Facts: B. HUSSEIN Obama is campaigning in Michigan. Surely, Tiffany, you are aware (as I am because I am a researcher) that Michigan has the largest concentration Muslim community in our nation in Detroit. Coincidence? I think not. How can you deny the obvious Tiffany? P.S. (ACTUAL FACT): Limbaugh did claim that Obama was not black. Limbaugh says Obama's family was from Kenya, a country in Africa with a majority Muslim community. Not accurate, but doesn't matter. Limbaugh = God. Obama = antichrist.
Please read my comment again about Ayers. I did not say that he couldn't be a terrorist. I only said that he must not be to much of a threat or he would be in jail or out of this country. It doesn't matter anyway considering Obama does not have much of a "tie" to this man. He lived in the same neighborhood as him and went to his house once. That is not a relationship I would be concerned about. I would be more concerned about a presidents family having ties to the royal family in Saudia Arabia. That's just my opinion.
