Georgia Republicans back Palin

Peach State Republicans are getting behind Senator John McCain's Vice Presidential pick. They say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is a strong conservative whose values match up well with Georgia's.

They dismissed suggestions from Democrats about her relative lack of experience, saying her two-year tenure as Alaska's governor shows she's ready to lead.
