Palin Campaign Button, "It's a Girl!", 2008
01
Artifact Overview
John McCain, the 2008 Republican Party's presidential nominee, chose Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, a young Washington outsider, as his running mate. The selection of a woman for the ticket--a first for the Republican Party--was a bold move. McCain's campaign initially received a bump in the polls, but it didn't last. The Democrats swept into the White House.
