Millions of Americans have been waiting to make up their minds on who they want their next president to be.

Thankfully, Sarah Palin announced who she will support on Tuesday afternoon.

Though he planned to ignore Palin, KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross couldn’t help but explain his special connection to the former governor of Alaska.

“I do have a special connection with Palin,” he admitted. “I was at the convention, very near the stage where she made that first big speech.

“I saw this phenomenon being born.”
