Republican Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is meeting with the Israeli ambassador to the US as part of a Virginia tour designed to upend Democrat Barack Obama's lead over Republican John McCain in a state that hasn't backed a Democratic White House hopeful since 1964.
Palin greeted Ambassador Sallai Meridor and apologized for not being able to meet with him sooner. She told the ambassador: "We look forward to ... working with your Jewish agency." (AP)
