When Asked to Veep, Palin Asked Her Daughters

One of the things that separates Sarah Palin from other politicians is her reliance on her family for strength and inspiration.  In an interview with Hannity and Combs, Palin said that when she was asked by John McCain to be his running mate, the first thing she did was ask her daughters Bristol, 17, and Willow, 13.

Their response: "Absolutely!  Let's do this, Mom."

According to both a campaign-provided reconstruction of how McCain chose Palin and Todd Palin's interview on Fox last night, though, the kids were only told of the news after they had arrived in Ohio for the announcement, after Palin had accepted the offer. Now Palin claims she "polled" her kids first - except Track, who was deployed to Iraq.
