Sarah Palin will sit down with Charles Gibson for her first national TV interview since becoming John McCain’s running mate, according to ABC. The venerable ABC News anchor snagged the interview, while many thought Oprah Winfrey would be the obvious choice after the White House hopeful revealed her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.
