DENVER-The chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party says he is "delighted" by the pick of Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) for vice-president.

"First I'm delighted," Fergus Cullen said. "Sarah Palin has a record as a reformer and bringing changing to the Alaskan Republican Party. She has fought the establishment like Ted Stevens and Don Young that has quite frankly been a part of the problem."

Cullen said that Palin brings executive experience to the ticket.

"She's been an executive in government for more than 10 years, unlike Joe Biden who has never run anything larger than a one person law office and his senate office.

Cullen also said that Palin's pick "harkens back to McCain's 2000 message of reform that brought him to prominence."
