“Gov. Palin is a proven reformer who is a wise steward of taxpayer dollars and champion for accountability in government,’’ Bush said in a press statement.”Gov. Palin’s success is due to her dedication to principle and her roll-up-your-sleeves work ethic and serves as a wonderful example of the spirit of America.  By selecting a working mother with a track record of getting things done, Sen. McCain has once again demonstrated his commitment to reforming Washington.’‘
