Doesn't it seem obvious?

Question

Palin is an appeal to the white, male vote that feel threatened by Obama. That was Hillary Clinton's distinction over Obama - the white, working male.

As we can see from the answers, about Palin's "looks", it is quite apparent.

This was not a choice to get the "woman vote" vote at all, because the Conservatives prefer their women to stay at home "cookin' and a-cleanin'" in the first place.

Answer 1

I agree with your assessment. But McCain already had the vote of white males that feel threatened by Obama. If he did this in attempt to try to win over votes of women it will back-fire as well since all the conservative pro-life women already support him and their is no liberal pro-choice woman that would ever vote Republican in the first place. I see it as a disastrous choice by McCain. I mean what in the h**l advice can she give him. How to hunt moose and catch salmon? How to win over the votes from rugged horny outdoors men, gun nuts and oil field workers? He already has those votes anyway. At best, the choice of Palin will help bring some of the conservative base back from voting 3rd party because of the fear that McCain is too liberal, but for every one that comes back to the ticket, two more will defect because of Palin's lack of experience and her issues with corruption and abuse of power.

Answer 2

no, it doesn't seem obvious.  seems to me this election has set a new "first".  we will either have a minority president or a female vice president, both "firsts" of their kind.  perhaps we're actually advancing somewhat as a nation, in spite of all of our own b.s. from the political mouths.

Answer 3

I don't think McCain would have had a problem with that segment regardless of who his VP choice was..

LOL, Palin anti-woman?  Just because she recognizes that life exists before birth?  That's the funniest thing I've heard all day..

Answer 4

He has lost the working class conservative in this pick and they were his best hope.

Especially the single issue voters... The ultra-con anti-abortion groups will walk, they will resent that she works with 5 kids... utilizing nannies they could never afford.

The more I see of her, the less sense his pick makes if he wanted to keep his base.

Answer 5

I'm a white, working male and I prefer to do my own cooking.

Answer 6

Agreed. Palin is anti-women. Her group Feminists for Life believe the following: "The president of the "non-sectarian, non-partisan" Feminists For Life, Serrin Foster, describes the organization as opposed to ALL forms of abortion, INCLUDING cases of rape, incest, birth defects, or to preserve the mother's health or life as broadly defined in the Supreme Court's Doe v. Bolton decision. FFL believes that basic human rights, including the right to life, start at conception (FFL defined as the first formation of a human zygote).
