Has Palin hurt the chances for the Republicans?

Question

Has Palin hurt the chances for the Republicans?

Answer 1

No, for me McCain has hurt the chances of the Republicans.  I can't get past the fact that he dumped his first wife for money and looks.

Answer 2

who told you they were going to win?hahahaha

forget about Palin

Answer 3

What does she have to offer.  She comes from a remote state, she has little substance to offer.  

If the women just need a woman in office, then they may vote for her for just that reason.  I see her offering nothing but rhetoric and a pretty face.

Answer 4

i cant decide if mccain is trying to lose on purpose or it's just turning out that way. answer: yes, and pubs either have their blinders on or are quaking in fear

Answer 5

Most likely not. I'd say that fund raising will be better for McCain with the social conservative Palin on his ticket. He'll also have an easier time getting the hard core Christian folk to the ballots. So no, I'd say she's helped.

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

I hope so, but I have to admit, the conservatives are much better at using this kind of smear to their advantage than the democrats are to their own.

Answer 8

Nah, not much. Both sides have their closet skeletons.  

Answer 9

No by much I don't think.  But maybe she should stay focused on her family a little more.  For your daughter to be pregnant out of wed-lock at the age of 17 and you being a strong believer that Abstinence works, this doesn't look good.  Clearly Abstinence doesn't work, kids need options, besides abstinence.  Clearly she didn't explain any of the options to her daughter such as birth control, condoms,etc.  

Answer 10

I think it will do some damage and reflects a poor decision on McCain.

Her abstinence only policy has backfired.

She has belong to the AIP, which was a party that wants to secede from the union.

She reversed her bridge to nowhere stance and initially wasted millions of dollars on a pet project.

There is an investigation that she fired Walter Monegan because he refused to sack a state trooper — her former brother-in-law, who had divorced her sister.

She refutes Global Warming, but McCain acknowledges it.

McCain choose her quickly and without making contact, which either seems desperate or reflects poor judgment.

Then again, bad press may be good publicity for the Republicans.

Answer 11

How dare you ask this question!

You have no right!

What kinda American are you!

Leave those poor politicians alone!

Answer 12

How would she be responsible, is she the one who is 17 and pregnant.?  Just because you instill good morals into a child, does not mean they will follow your advice.  Did your mama and daddy crawl into the sheets with you to make sure you behaved?  By the way, i got pregnant at 35 on the pill!

Answer 13

Not to many but maybe to some.

Answer 14

totally!she is a royal disgrace for the party an unknown woman,  this guys are so pathetic

Answer 15

A little...or not all all.  Depends on how the Republicans react to the media frenzy...if they handle it well, it could be to their advantage...

Answer 16

Probably not. The reps are hypocrites and they voted Bush back onto office.

Answer 17

I don't think so---I'm an Independent and simply LOVE her!

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 18

Not if the moonbats don't quit hammering her for being a mom or a small town gun owner.  Obama is screaming at you to stop because you are damaging his chances with the demographics he needs the most, but it doesn't seem to many people are hearing that or seem to realize like he does that he can lose this election.  Ever notice how gray he's gotten since McCain overtook him in the polls for a few days?

Answer 19

Hurt are you kidding, wake up, she is inspiring. They will win, focus and you will see.  

Answer 20

Well, most of the people that would vote for Palin would have already voted for McCain, so she certainly didn't gain many people.

Answer 21

It keep getting worst a worser for the republicans

Answer 22

Nope

It was a shrewd choice, and a surprise pick that has thrown Obama out of the media picture for once.  His exposure has disappeared.  Without the media, he is nothing
