ST. PAUL, Minn. (MarketWatch) - As the Republican Party formally nominated John McCain for president Wednesday, vice president nominee Sarah Palin launched a formidable attack on Democratic hopeful Barack Obama and characterized herself as an outsider who won't conform to Washington's ways.
Picked by McCain to accompany him on the ticket just five days ago - and the first woman in the history of the Republican Party to be tapped for the vice president slot - Palin made a confident declaration of her abilities, the subject of recent scrutiny. She hit Obama in his soft spots, taking on such issues as his statement earlier this year that some people in small towns "cling" to religion and guns when they get disillusioned with politics.

All in the family
Republicans want everyone to hear Palin's heart-warming story: a principled, born-again, feisty hockey mom who has suddenly become a national leader. But the ensuing media coverage of her personal life -- her work/life balance and her teen daughter's pregnancy, for instance -- has been snowballing. Some say family life should be off limits in political campaigns, which should be taken literally. That means no more trotting out the kids and no more admiring speeches from spouses.
