McCain picks Alaska Gov. Palin as running mate – CNN.com
Palin, 44, who’s in her first term as governor, is a pioneering figure in Alaska, the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state’s top political job.
I guess it had to happen someday: a Candidate for the Presidential ticket (if not actually for President) who is younger than me.
WAAAAY late, but you might like to know that John C. Breckinridge was 36 when he became VP.

VP to the worst president in American history (sorry, but Buchanan has GWB beat by miles), and great-grandfather of Bunny Breckinridge. Cool.
