Did McCain shoot himself in the foot with his V.P. pick?

Question

I'll admit that she's hot, but I wouldn't want her as a president. Does this choice make you more or less interested in voting for McCain?

Answer 1

McCain obviously has no idea what he is doing. The oil companies picked her to be their new Cheney, and McCain followed blindly.

His campaign has now become an official joke

Better bring in some more riot police for the RNC.

After all the Minnesota Governor was the tall man on the short list for McCain's VP.

Now they have to hold their convention in a state surrounded by disenfranchised multitudes who have been slighted for some chippy from the boondocks of Alaska.

I see a bad moon risin'.

Answer 2

No, as a white male I was going to vote for Obama.  But this made it 100% McCain.

I hope my daughters follow in Sarah Palin's footsteps.  Unlike Hillary and Pelosi, Sarah has personality and accomplishment and would be awesome to know.

Answer 3

No - Palin is a Great choice and she will make a Wonderful VP (and future President)! It just goes to show that McCain is a true maverick & genius who picks likewise!

Palin:

* has the record of the most beloved Governor in the US by her state (Alaska)

* is a vocal, huge proponent of American energy independence & Alaskan drilling

* has actually been leading people for the past several years, while Obama & Biden have been leading NO one!

* shelved her state's pork-laden Bridge to Nowhere that McCain has ridiculed on the trail

* will join McCain in fighting hard against earmarks

* is about as far outside the Beltway as you can get

* ran on the agenda of stopping wasteful gov't spending

* is the mother of 5 kids!

* has had her son deploy to Iraq

* is for a strong US defense

* is an ice fisherman

* is a moose hunter

* is a small business owner and a lifetime NRA member

All in all, she's a truly fine leader, citizen and patriot - who truly represents Americana (Motherhood & Apple pie)!

McCain/Palin '08

Peace

Answer 4

She aint running for president, but if she were, I would vote for her over the other clown any day.

Answer 5

Personally I think he just lost the election. But that's my opinion

Answer 6

America's middle class has just been saluted by one of its war heroes. John McCain showed his total respect for working class Americans.

Answer 7

I thought the same thing...I mean there are 2 women much more qualified than Palin, in my opinion.  Elizabeth Dole and Condi Rice.  Then I realized that Dole's age along with McCain's wouldn't match up well against Obama/Biden.  And knowing how much McCain is trying to distance himself from Bush eliminates Rice.  Palin is looking more and more like a good choice.  At least now the republicans can call everyone sexist for not voting for McCain...the way demoncraps are calling everyone racist for not voting for Obama.

Answer 8

i think it's a great choice. the country is going to change one way or the other. i'd rather have a hot, smart chick in the white house that believes in America rather then then a marxist that only stands a chance because of the color of his skin.

Answer 9

I think this means McCain is conceding the election and setting the stage fro Palin to run for President in 2012. There's simply not undecided voters who are going to be swayed by this choice.  

Answer 10

More.  I thought he'd cave in and pick Romney or Pawlenty.  Instead, he picked someone who's principled, young, and has executive experience, something that is lacking on the Obama-Biden ticket.
