Campaign says it held announcement of Sarah Palin as VP choice

Timing was everything when it came to naming Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate on the GOP ticket, according to campaign manager Steve Schmidt. At the Republican National Convention, Schmidt explained the decision to wait until the Democratic convention ended to release the news. The Ticket's Andrew Malcolm was there to catch Schmidt's remarks on video.

Obama didn't voluntarily compare himself to Palin in terms of experience. He was asked to do so. This is will all play out in a most entertaining fashion.
