Cole, Fallin, Inhofe Laud Palin's Selection
Congressman Tom Cole and Congresswoman Mary Fallin today applauded John McCain's selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Said Fallin: “This is just a spectacular selection. Sarah Palin is an excellent choice, and she really draws a contrast with the Obama-Biden ticket, which is all Washington, all liberal, all the time. By selecting Gov. Palin as his running mate, John McCain has signaled that it will not be business as usual in Washington. She is a successful, reform minded, state governor who understands that government closest to the people is often best. Of course I am thrilled that John McCain chose a rising female star from our party to be his running mate. This is particularly meaningful this week, the 88th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote.
"She is also a solid pro-life conservative who will relate very well with voters in Oklahoma and many other states. I applaud this choice and I look forward to doing all I can to help the McCain-Palin ticket win in November.
“I had a chance to meet with Gov. Palin on energy issues during my recent trip to Alaska, and I was tremendously impressed with her dedication to assuring our energy future. Most of all, she has an astonishing life story – athlete, reform Governor who challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. A mother, wife and leader. I simply cannot imagine a better pick.”
Said Cole: "Choosing Governor Palin as the Republican vice presidential running mate is a truly historic decision," Congressman Cole said. "This was a smart and savvy choice that proves John McCain is willing and able to think outside the box. Sarah Palin is a maverick reformer - just like Senator McCain - and I am proud and excited to support her addition to the Republican presidential ticket.
"Her list of credentials is impressive. She will bring her strong record of support for America's families, her expertise on energy issues and her refreshing style of leadership to the White House. As Mayor she shook things up in Wasilla, as Governor she shook things up in Alaska, and together with John McCain, she stands ready to shake things up in Washington DC." Said Inhofe: "Governor Palin brings tremendous enthusiasm and a remarkable drive to the Republican ticket. I'm looking forward to seeing her and my friend, Senator John McCain, campaign across the country together. In Alaska, Governor Palin has been a dedicated reformer, bringing more openness to government and fighting to stop corruption. I feel strongly a McCain-Palin ticket will do the same for Washington.
"Importantly, Governor Palin, as a Governor from an energy producing state, has been a leading advocate for a domestic energy supply that is stable, affordable, and diverse. At a time when energy prices are soaring and liberal leadership in Washington has failed to do anything to bring down the price of gas at the pump, we need a President and Vice President that will focus on utilizing all sources of energy, from drilling offshore to developing alternative energy. A McCain-Palin ticket will do just that.
"As an Alaskan, she shares many of the same conservative values we cherish here in Oklahoma. She's a fiscal conservative, an avid outdoors enthusiast, is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, and is a strong pro-life leader. When Oklahomans go to the polls in November, I'm confident they will proudly cast their ballot for Senator McCain and Governor Palin."
