Here is video of CNBC's Maria Bartoromo today on Meet the Press talking with Tom Brokaw about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin being chosen to serve as John McCain's Vice-Presidential running mate. Bartiromo recently interviewed Palin, and said she is a "savvy pick" because of her great knowledge on the Energy Issue.

Sarah Palin is the best man when it comes to job as a VP who supports drilling, as when the Polar Bear was put on the endangered species lst ( which it should not be on ) she fought that judgement, and pleaded for people to come to ANWR ( which holds 23 billion gallons of oil ) and to drill.
In March of 2007 - Palin signed the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act - as a part of a plan to build a natural gas pipeline from the northslope, In early of 2008 Palin announced that a company from Canada was interested in drilling for natural gas.
Palin has also proposed sending Alasakans 1,200 dollars to help with the oil situation - which in Alaska you need oil for everything, watch tougher in Alaska, some remote villages get oil once every four months and in the winter sometimes run very low, and she proposed this in a non-election year.
Gov. Palin offers balance to John McCain, who has been very etchy when it comes to drilling, and he has not committed anything to ANWR, and BTW have you ever wanted to see what this precious piece of land looks like?

According to the News-Leader John McCain says that he is willing to reconsider drilling in ANWR.
For years, McCain has opposed drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
But McCain said he'd be willing to reconsider that stance as well.
"I would be more than happy to examine it again," McCain said.
------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems to me that the "Band Wagon" has begun to roll. Many Republicans that had previously apposed drilling off of our coasts and other various locations within the U.S. are starting to hear the music.
Florida Governor Charlie Crist is one of the latest to change his positon on offshore drilling.
Newt Gingrich is leading the way having obtained more than one Million signatures in a petition he calls Drill here.Drill now.Pay less.
There has been some speculation that Mitt Romney is on the short list of choices for John McCain's VP but will fundamental differences on energy stunt the growth of such rumors?.
In an interview with Fox's Shepard Smith (See video below) Mitt Romney was asked about energy.
"...We've made some big mistakes in the past on gas prices by not developing our own natural resources-our own oil and gas as well as alternative energy sources it's time for us to get serious about full comprehensive plan to become energy independent-Doing that-beginning to make that investment- will have and impact on futures prices and bring down the cost of oil..."
Romney obviously believes that we must exploit our own natural resources to reduce gas prices and reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil.
John McCain seems to think differently.
Video:ANWR is one of the pristine places in the world",'' McCain said. ''I wouldn't drill in the Grand Canyon either, and I wouldn't drill in the Everglades." - John McCain December 2007
Both agree that measures need to be implemented to reduce the burden on the American consumer.
In this paricular case, I have to agree with Romney. While China begins drilling off the coast of Florida Former Governor Jeb Bush and current Governor Charlie Crist have supported BLOCKING American companies from drilling off the coast of Florida.
Two viable and possibly abundant sources of oil that would be controlled and used by the USA and it's citizens have been designated "off limits".
Environmentalists must be partying like it's 1899...:)
