Do you think McCain made a smart choice by picking Sarah Palin as his VP?

Question

Is not then why

Answer 1

YES

Answer 2

No.  How can you run on a platform of "Country First" when you select the least qualified candidate of all time.  At the press conference she said "What does the vice president do?" when a reporter asked her a question.

Answer 3

Let's see, mayor of a podunk town, and less than two years as governor of a state with fewer citizens than the CITY of Chicago.  No, I think her meager experience makes her a very bad choice.  She's just a gimmick being paraded around to win over angry Clintonites.  This isn't progress for women, it's the ultimate insult.

Edit: oh, and please don't forget that she's had her share of scandal there for firing for political and personal reasons.  She also hasn't exactly accomplished anything on the state level.

Answer 4

The words "smart" and McCain don't belong in the same sentence.

Answer 5

Yes, her daughter isn't running and her record in Alaska is second to none.

Answer 6

It looks like it may not matter much what you or I think.

The polls are showing that it appears to be a home run with Middle America.

Any bounce that Obama might have Hoped for out of his convention or from his speech was overtaken by McCain's announcement of Palin.

Governor Palin is a clear winner with ordinary Americans who appear to identify with her, her normal family, and their middle class roots.

The people who are slamming her are the left wing and Democrats who would never have voted for McCain anyway.

The louder they are, the more the Heartland rallies around their heroine Sarah Palin.

She and her family are just like them.

Governor Palin has a record of achievement that Obama himself lacks and has actually done things which Biden never has.

Obama/Biden are talkers and she's all about action.

The polls are saying that the Democrats are WRONG.

Women and men are moving to McCain/Palin.

This appears to have been a smart choice.  

Answer 7

yes - SHE'S NOT WASHINGTON

Sarah is smart and has experience running a state (something Barry can't say).

She has an 80% approval rating and fought corruption (something Barry can't say).  

Answer 8

well every other vp rejected him so he had to make the worse choice...poor mccain

Answer 9

I'd say an excellent choice. Now, he can't win.

Answer 10

yep,i love strong women.

Answer 11

Yes, I think she was a very smart choice and honestly I believe that she will give McCain that extra little push which will help him win the election.
