- Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock
Republican Presidential candidate John McCain's announcement of Sarah Palin as his Vice-Presidential pick came as a surprise to just about everyone in the State. In Sitka, Alaska, KCAW's Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock hit the cruise ship dock to ask people from the lower '48 and abroad, what they thought of the nomination.
Many of them had never heard of the Alaska Governor before. This is a vox pop of some of their comments.
