My friends, and fellow Americans, I am very pleased and very privileged to introduce to you the next vice president of the United States, Governor Sarah Palin of the great state of Alaska.

I am not questioning his patriotism. I am questioning his judgment.

I am not questioning his patriotism, I am questioning his judgment.

I will nominate a person to be vice president, my running mate, who shares my principles, my values, and my priorities.

On Iraq, senator Obama says he wants peace, but he still opposes the surge that succeeded. No rational observer could go to Iraq and see what we've succeeded in doing in the last two years and say that the surge hasn't succeeded.

I said on Saturday night that I have a proud pro-life record in Congress, and I am proud of that.

If there's one thing he always delivers, it is a great speech. But I hope you will listen carefully, because his ideas are not always as impressive as his rhetoric.

I would be a pro-life president.

John McCain believes -- you may disagree with him, but -- one may disagree with him, but he believes that Barack Obama is not prepared to be president, that these are dangerous times, that the central challenge of the next president is…

I think he has got more passion. I think this whole question about choosing a pro-choice vice president is a diversion and could be -- I'm surprised that he's let himself get into this.

He hopes in the end that it helps, Campbell, when he makes the case that he has the experience, the judgment, the character to be commander in chief, and that Barack Obama, to listen to John McCain, he would say simply isn't ready.

Senator Obama opposes new drilling. He said it won't solve our problems and that it's, quote, 'not real.' He's wrong, and the American people know it.

Well, I'm pleased to be here today at Cocoa Beach.

My wonderful daughter Meghan is here somewhere in the audience, and she graduated with a degree in art history, which I'm very proud of.

Of course evil must be defeated. My friends, we are facing the transcendent challenge of the 21st century, radical Islamic extremism.

We should not and cannot raise taxes in tough economic times.

I think America's greatest moral failure has been, throughout our existence, perhaps we have not devoted ourselves to causes greater than our self-interest although we've been the best at it of anybody in the world.

I think that the President of the United States has incredible responsibility in nominating people to the United States Supreme Court. They are lifetime positions, as well as the Federal Bench.
