Presumed Republican presidential nominee John McCain (R-AZ) has chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate. So where does Palin stand on foreign policy? You tell me!

According to On The Issues, she has no on-the-record foreign policy stances. However, as governor of an oil rich state in an environmentally sensitive area, she has had to tackle global climate change and energy security issues. Foreign Policy Passport says, "Palin brings energy to ticket, but lacks foreign policy cred."

Reaction to the Palin pick from the About Guide to Conservative Politics and the About Guide to U.S. Politics.
