Can McCain change his choice for VP?

Question

They haven't officially voted. Could he legally change his mind. Should he?

Answer 1

what's wrong, nervous?

Answer 2

I think it would be very difficult, especially after she's officially nominated on Wednesday.  I'd be curious when the over/under appears on intrade.com.

As a Democrat, I'm not sure how I'd like to see this play out.  One the one hand, Palin is obviosuly an incredibly weak pick and weakens McCain considerably vis-a-vis the Democrats.  On the other, if she's replaced, someone who is qualified will join the ticket.  

The only sure thing if McCain replaces her is to confirm once and for all that McCain's judgment is surely lacking.

Answer 3

Sure he could.  Democrat George McGovern kicked Thomas Eagleton off the ticket, but why would McCain want to give Palin the boot.  She is an overachiever with an average American family.  She isn't a lawyer, and she isn't of Washington.  Why do we always elect lawyers and Washington insiders.

Answer 4

nope, it was a great choice.  

Answer 5

I think so, I don't even think he is the official canidate yet since the convention hasn't even started. The GOP might also have to agree on his pick once he is the offical canidate...

Answer 6

he should....for HILLARY

Answer 7

Of Course he could but he'll look kinda stupid and confused...  he could if he wanted to but i doubt that he would want to look dumb and confused  

Answer 8

No he can't. Once the VP is chosen, the presidential candidate must stick with his choice.

Answer 9

Who cares? Obama 2008!

Answer 10

he should not

mccain/palin '08

Answer 11

Palin is a good choice.

Answer 12

McCain knew about this beforehand.  Only Obamaniacs are attacking this girl and her decision to keep the child and get married.  Trying to make a scandal out of a teenager having s*x?  STOP THE FREAKIN' PRESSES!!!  Regardless of her mom's stance, you can only teach your child what you can and then it's up to the child.  Would you rather she toss the baby in the soiled utility room, as obama would have her do?  So no, though McCain could change his choice, I know he won't and nor should he.

Answer 13

no he shouldn't, palin is perfect.

Mccain/Palin 2008

Answer 14

he certainly could, but he wont cause it would be flip-flopping

Answer 15

He better change fast and he will.  Doesn't matter anyway -- it's all over for McCain.

Answer 16

Until the nomination is confirmed by the party, it's just that - a nomination.  McCain can change his mind, the GOP could choose their own candidate and override McCain's selection.  If McCain switches, he had better have some pretty good reasons other than the fact that he didn't do his homework.

Answer 17

He could change his choice, but it would probably cost him the election because America wouldn't vote for someone who did something like that.  

Answer 18

could but should not

Answer 19

Yes.  He could.  No.  He shouldn't.

Answer 20

She hasn't been nominated yet so yes he can  

Answer 21

IDK the mother of a 17 year old pregnant unwed girl is his choice. I hope she is better at governing our country than she was with her family.

Answer 22

he has the best choice already.

Answer 23

He won't and he can not (politically)

But on the other hand , he can not do much more harm to party and  himself he already did.. So, why not. WHo cares..

Answer 24

Scared much?

Answer 25

He should Palin is just one big risk, too much of a gamble and not worth it. She brings down his campaign, already she is being exposed for the criminal she is.
