Various of crowd cheering\u003cbr/\u003eMillions across America watched and listened Wednesday evening to John McCain's largely unknown running mate for office, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, make her keynote speech at the Republican National Convention.  \u003cbr/\u003ePalin stepped into the glare of the spotlight and was met with thunderous applause,  presenting herself as a small-town outsider ready to join John McCain's ticket.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I will be honoured to accept the nomination for vice president of the United States,\" she told a roaring crowd.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was the crowning moment of a roller-coaster week in which the first woman ever on a Republican presidential ticket has been inundated with questions about her qualifications and lack of experience. \u003cbr/\u003eSelected by McCain only last Friday, Palin, a little-known governor less than two years in office, has also faced inquiries about her record of public service, her policy positions and issues regarding her family.\u003cbr/\u003ePalin's youngest child, a four-month-old son, has Down Syndrome.  \u003cbr/\u003eHer eldest, 17-year-old daughter Bristol, is five months pregnant and unmarried.\u003cbr/\u003eIn introducing her family to the crowd, Palin sought to connect with families who face challenges across the country.\u003cbr/\u003e\"From the inside, no family ever seems typical. That's how it is with us.  Our family has the same ups and downs as any other,  the same challenges and the same joys. Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe Alaska governor made a not so subtle jab at the news media, which many in the Republican party blame for the convention week inquisitions.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I've learned quickly, these last few days, that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone,\" she said.  \"Here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAnd of course, Palin went after Barack Obama, on taxes, terror, and just about everything in between.\u003cbr/\u003e\"There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or even a reform - not even in the state senate,\" Palin said.\u003cbr/\u003eAs she concluded her speech, her family and then John McCain greeted her on stage. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Don't you think we made the right choice for the next vice president. What a beautiful family,\" McCain said to loud cheers.\u003cbr/\u003eA parade of party luminaries preceded Palin to the convention podium, and Republicans packing the hall cheered every attack on Obama.\u003cbr/\u003eFormer Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney said Obama \"ducked and dodged\" when asked recently about the threat of Islamic terrorism. \u003cbr/\u003e\"John McCain hit the nail on the head,\" said Romney. \"Radical violent Islam is evil, and he will defeat it.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWhen the speeches were finished, Republicans officially nominated McCain for president through a state-by-state roll call vote.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Republican nominee is scheduled to accept his party's nomination in a prime-time speech Thursday evening, which will cap the four-day
