Do you think John McCain is just using Sarah Palin?

Question

Explain

Answer 1

I believe he wants to partner with Sarah.  They fight for the same causes.  He chose her because she shares more of his views than anyone else.

Answer 2

It is the same as the way Obama is using Biden.  Come on people.

Answer 3

I think he made a wise choice because what she stands for is attractive to conservation Republicans (pro life, NRA, hunter, wants to abolish Roe vs. Wade) but he can also "use" her to bring over Hillary lovers who were done wrong and are still furious with the way Clinton was treated while running.  You can use the word "use", but I think he's just being smart with his choosing.

Answer 4

I bet he wishes he was.  

Answer 5

Sure; in the same way that Obama is just using Biden...TO GET VOTES!

Were you born yesterday?

Answer 6

Yes, and he's also trying to use evangelicals, just like Bush/Cheney/Rove. He ain't no maverick -- he's following orders from Rove whose only trick is to get out the evangelicals and then do nothing for them. When will they wise up? More of the same and we can't afford four more years of it!  This move shows how little McCain really cares about America and how desperately he wants to be president.

Answer 7

I think he picked her because she has a maverick style as he does. They have both stood against their own party, he on Bush's mismanagement of the war in Irac and her against corruption within her own party in Alaska. They both want to reduce wasteful spending, she stopped the bridge to nowhere and he has called for fiscal responsibility for years. It is hard to find a politician in any party that stands against corruption and earmark spending as they both do....his only other choice was to pick someone that was not like him. They're political soul mates.  

Answer 8

for her good looks. yea, of course. dirty old man.

Answer 9

NO. Sarah Palin makes Democrat VP nominee Joe Biden appear stale and irrelevant, just the kind of perception-based counter-jab McCain may need to take down the Chosen One.

Answer 10

Is this the same way Obama is using Biden.

Answer 11

Yes he is using her. He has a hidden agenda to destroy the Republicans and choosing her is part of this plan.  

Answer 12

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Answer 13

McCain thinks a 'uterus is a uterus'. Therefore, all bitter Hilliary voters will NOT go for Palin. Is he in the dark or what?

Answer 14

No i do not! how in heck is offering her to be his running mate using her. she is union and will attract the union vote, you know they are trying to get rid of unions now. she wants that stopped. she is a woman true and will attract wemon voters true but also men . people that stand for family values and the evangicials which is a good thing, i am all for it. and this is the last time tonight i am going to answer that question! shes no fool shes too smart to be used.

Answer 15

yes - for winning over the hillary die hards  

Answer 16

Yes, using as in the chat room sense.

Answer 17

Yes because Barack didn't choose Hilliary

Answer 18

What kind of man would gamble with his own party and all of America?

Answer 19

Well McCain would probably end up using her. You never know . He could be involved in a future political scandal. I can imagine the headline news. "  McCain caught sleeping with Mrs.Universe Sarah Palin,and is now facing impeachment."    " Sarah Palin initiates sexual harrassment charges against McCain. McCain Wife feeling destroyed."

McCain is Bananas for choosing that woman.

Answer 20

YES!!  That was my very first thought. If he was in the lead, there is no way he would choose her. He ran out of ideas and this was a good one! He may have a real chance now..

Answer 21

She comes out of this a winner, too. She's getting plenty of national recognition. She has just secured a second term as governor of Alaska or perhaps Ted Stevens' seat in the Senate.

Answer 22

Obviously..To tell the truth is using her like a toy.. He's just doing that so he can get the old Hilary Clinton Votes.. He Knows inorder to beat Obama he needs Hillary's Votes.. and He got the next best thing..Another woman to inspire Hilary's followers...

He must think women are complete idiots..Because just he has a female running mate, he automatically has the average woman vote.. But he's not gonna fool most of them..
