Digg This Facebook President
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIt's a whole new political world, and one big reason is the rise of technology as a means for politicians to communicate with constituents.

John McCain's running mate on the 2008 Republican ticket. Why? She's pregnant with her fifth child. On Wednesday, Gov. Palin announced to the Juneau press that she "will be delivering an addition to the first family" in mid-May.
