St. Paul, Minn. (AP) Sarah Palin says John McCain is “a man who's there to serve his country, and not just his party.”

Palin used her speech at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, to make repeated digs at Barack Obama.

She said that “Al-Qaida terrorists” want to cause “catastrophic harm on America” and that Obama is “worried that someone won't read them their rights.”

She also called for more domestic drilling, saying America must “produce more of our own oil and gas.”
