Bunning: Palin pick ‘completely fit’ with McCain
By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com ReporterST. PAUL, Minn. – A Kentucky-based colleague of presumptive Republican presidential nominee and U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Southgate) told PolitickerKY.com that Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) worked well as the vice-presidential candidate on the ticket.
Bunning said the VP pick by McCain “completely fit his personality.”
“No one else would have selected her, but he did, because she is a maverick just like she is,” Bunning.
Bunning made those comments during an interview yesterday, amid increased media investigation and speculation about Palin’s background.
Palin was tapped as the VP pick on Friday and she will speak tonight in front of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
