McCain predicts big future for Palin

US Senator John McCain said he sees Sarah Palin continuing to play a major role in the future of the Republican Party.

Mr McCain says he respects the decision that his 2008 vice presidential running mate made to resign as Alaska governor.

The Arizona senator says people make decisions based on what’s best for them and for their families.

He said that he thinks Mrs Palin “clearly” made the best decision, and he thinks she will continue to be “a force” within the Republican Party.
