Sharing the ticket with U.S. Senator John McCain, Palin was the Republican Party's
vice-presidential nominee for the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Palin was the second
female candidate and the first Alaskan candidate of either major party on a national ticket, as
well as the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party. Since McCain's
defeat in the 2008 election, Palin has become a leading voice in the Republican Party and
there is speculation that Palin will run for president in the 2012 presidential election.
