Honestly..Did McCain think he was pulling a fast one to have it blow up in his face?

Question

You know he wanted at least a little to show that he could ask a woman to be his running mate, pick up a few Hillary supporters, and win the general election.

I was thrilled with his pick, because I have admired Palin for a while. She is a mother, a leader and proves what a women can achieve in this country.

But she is no Hillary, not yet anyway...but she does have guts.. she is smart enough..

I think that at least in this election we have seen a more personal side to all candidates. I think that the media in some instances may have been more intrusive than ever before.. and I am going to sit back and watch the action..we never know what the next day is going to bring in this election.. one thing is for sure..it isn't boring!!

SO what do you think?

Answer 1

It's political pandering of the worst kind.  It's also a sign of a desperate campaign.  

Answer 2

I think you're right it's blown up in his face.  

Answer 3

To think that Hillary's supporters were supporting Hillary solely on the fact that she is a woman is ignorant.  Hillary herself wouldn't be caught dead voting for McCain / Palin.

Answer 4

I think he made a pick and then they didn't dig up her past as well as they should have. The only reason the stuff about her daughter being pregnant came out was because the liberal bloggers were speculating, knowing that it would force their hand, and it did.
