How many persons did McCain ask until someone was willing to become his VP?

Question

99?

And the 100th was Sarah Palin?

Nobody wanted to be a loser's VP

Answer 1

My understandng is that Sarah Palin was his first choice and the first person he asked.  Seems to me that many wanted the job because they all wanted to be associated with a man of honor and integrity.

Answer 2

None.

He didn't ask anyone. He just called up Palin and told her to get her *** down to Ohio.

Answer 3

I think he only asked two people.  I turned him down and Sarah accepted.

Answer 4

Everyone McCain called did not pick up the phone.

Alaska doesn't have Caller-ID. So, Palin answered the phone and became the choice by default.  

Answer 5

That was great!

Answer 6

I hope the weather's nice out in liberal Lala Land, but check the polls genius. It's a dead heat. And as for scraping the bottom of the barrel? That's patently idiotic. She offsets ALL of McCain's weaknesses.

He is old (72 and a persistent problem for his campaign) She is young (44). He has no executive political experience. She is the only one in the whole election who has been the leader of anything. Barak Obama was getting tons of press for a "History Making Campaign" and now however it turns out history will be made. (80% of the news coverage over the past 3 days has been about her and not Obama. That only helps McCain.) Additionally, McCain added another STRONG incentrive for the women who supported Hillary and where upset with Obama to switch sides. Even Geraldine Ferraro (Democrat VP nominee 1984 and UN ambassador under Clinton) now says she doesn't know who she will vote for!

It was a BRILLIANT decision!

Answer 7

I FEEL QUITE SAFE IN SAYING THAT THEY WERE SCRAPPING THE BOTTOM OF THE NEOCON BARREL!

Answer 8

Lmao, I was wondering the same thing. Palin appears to be a last resort.
