Statement of John Knutson, Maine Democratic Party Chair:
"In choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has brought into question the very premise of his candidacy. Palin, the former Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, population 9,000, has less than two years experience as Governor of Alaska, zero foreign policy experience, and is the subject of an ongoing ethics investigation. Her support for the failed Bush-Cheney energy policies and her record of raising taxes make her the wrong choice for Maine and for our country."
