Posted: 10:40 AM ET

From CNN's Dana Bash and John King

(CNN) – A senior John McCain campaign official told CNN that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
will be McCain's running mate.

Palin, 44, is a first-term governor who unseated incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary in 2006 and went on to defeat former Gov. Tony Knowles, a Democrat, in the general election.

An advocate of drilling for oil in her state's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, she is little known outside of Alaska.
