In an interview for the Associated Press, Matt Damon has shared with the world his opininon about Sarah Palin and her political role.

The movie star, who is one of the supporters of Barack Obama, stated that he is “frightened” by Senator John McCain’s decision to choose Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Matt Damon said that he believes that there is a good chance that Sarah Plain could be president. "I think there's a really good chance that Sarah Palin could be president. I think that's the really scary thing," Damon said during the interview. "Because I don't know anything about her. I don't think in eight weeks I'm going to know anything about her.”

Matt Damon went further on and he said that there is a good chance that John McCain doesn't survive his first term and “it'll be President Palin.”

“It's like a really bad Disney movie. The hockey mom. Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president,” Damon said.

Sarah Palin was designated as McCain’s running mate in late August. She was born in Idaho and her family moved to Alaska when she was an infant. She was the first governor of Alaska to be born after the sparsely-populated state joined the United States in 1959.

Palin began her political career as a member of the Wasilla City Council in 1992, eventually becoming mayor to the town and quickly rising as a statewide figure. She unsuccessfully ran for lieutenant governor in 2002.

Palin was appointed in 2004 to the post of ethics commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, but later resigned, complaining of the lack of ethics in the commission.

Palin is married to Todd and they have five children. Her oldest son, Track, is a soldier in the US Army and is scheduled for deployment to Iraq in September.

Palin graduated from the University of Idaho with a bachelor's degree in journalism.
