In a statement announcing the choice of Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, Sen. John McCain’s campaign emphasized that “in Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system.” But that claim was undermined today when Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), who was indicted last month for not reporting gifts from an Alaskan oil company, endorsed her as McCain’s vice president. Stevens said that he had “known and worked” with Palin for “over a decade”:
Senator Stevens said: “It’s a great day for the nation and Alaskans. Governor Palin has proven herself as a ...

Sarah Palin (R) would be John McCain vice presidential pick, the McCain campaign touted her "record of delivering on the change and reform that we need in Washington" and her challenge to a "corrupt system" in Alaska.

Obama hits Palin on Equal Pay for Equal Work | Main Indicted Hometown Senator Poses Problem for Sarah Palin August 31, 2008 5:15 PM ABC News' John Berman and Ursula Fahy Report: It’s clear who Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be supporting when it comes to the presidential race, after all she is on the ticket. The bigger question is who will she vote for in the Senate race in her home state. Embattled Republican Sen. Ted Stevens faces a tight race against popular Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich. And as of now, McCain campaign aides will not guarantee that she will endorse the senior Senator. Of course, perhaps more telling is that they won’t ...
Today in The Nation: Guilty as Charged
The Nation: Top Stories —
Embattled Alaska Senator Ted Stevens said he wanted a quickie trial before the 2008 election so that he could clear his name in time for voters to hand the 84-year-old Republican a seventh term. Stevens got the trial he wanted. But the senator did not get the verdict he sought. On Monday, a jury found Stevens guilty on seven counts of lying on federal financial disclosure forms. The lies were related to favors the senator received from a wealthy and politically-connected Alaska businessman who is at the center of a corruption scandal that has rocked the state. Now, the senior senator's conviction is the biggest news story -- even bigger than that ...
Stevens Conviction Could Burn McCain, Palin
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
Monday's conviction of Republican Sen. Ted Stevens in a corruption trial is the latest bad luck for the McCain-Palin campaign, potentially tarnishing efforts to portray the GOP ticket as reform-driven, and rehashing Stevens' ties over several years to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
John McCain has long had a strained relationship with Stevens due to the Arizona Senator's opposition to earmarks, which Stevens championed most infamously as the chief advocate of the "Bridge to Nowhere." But they have also assisted each other's political campaigns as fellow Republicans.
Stevens' political action committee, Northern Lights PAC, contributed $5000 ...
