"By shaking up the status quo in Alaska and standing up to special interests, she has the proven leadership and experience that is needed to change Washington and put government back on the side of the people," Taylor continued. "Most importantly, tonight she made the case that John McCain is the best candidate to protect American during these challenging times."
