Didn't McCain say he would rather lose an election than lose a war?

Question

And then goes to pick a VP strictly to appeal to women voters and has no experience on foreign policy or economic policies? Palin has professed herself she 'didn't know what a VP did' and 'not interested in Iraq'. Does this really show McCain's judgement in choosing her? He's putting the election before the country.

Answer 1

I will make a judgment about this choice after I have a chance to hear a little more.  I look at a person's instinct as more important than their resume.  Obama's foreign policy instinct is isolation.  Twenty years more experience is not going to change him.  When I see how Palin conducts herself, I will be able to tell how how she would handle a crisis.
