If McCain chooses a woman as VP, is he doing it because he truly wants her, or is he doing it to steal votes?

Question

Does he think that Hillary voters will vote for him now because he has a woman VP? This selection baffles me, It looks to me as though she may just be a pawn in his chess game!

Answer 1

and getting a white male of "Old" age with experience was not to steal votes.....lol....you guys are really showing the liberal hypocrisy today..

Must be something there that is worrying the left with this..

Answer 2

desperate measures

Answer 3

Probably a little of both.

Answer 4

Only for the votes - we all know how he truly feels about women.  I guess Palin doesn't have a problem being called a c*nt - because that's how McSame refers to women!

Answer 5

She has executive experience being a governor.  Didn't Obama choose Biden to try and get white ,blue collar workers. And where's the change.  Biden has been in the senate for 35 years.

Answer 6

She may be the best choice-a prochoice female.  If the dems choose an african american, is it so they can steal votes?

Answer 7

She will not gain Hillary supporters UNLESS she shares a similar ideology.  Being that's she's a Republican, I'd say her platform is much different than what Hillary's was.  The answer is no.

Answer 8

Hillary supporters will vote for Obama. 50% of them already are. After the DNC you can definitely count on another 25% backing Obama. Hillary made a good case for him. Just Because McCain picks a women that doesn't mean women are going to go vote for someone they know.  

Answer 9

I would assume he is doing it to gain votes and balance out the ticket a bit, so?..

Answer 10

isnt that kinda the point to take votes away from Obama. lots of people are voting for Obama just because he is black, why wouldnt people vote for Mccain just for picking a woman. if i were mccain i would have picked Romney, he is taking a real risk at the last minute picking an unknown like sarah, but she is a tough old broad from what i can see.  

Answer 11

Why did Obbammy choose an old white guy?  It's the same principle, broaden your base.

Answer 12

oh now you have something against women?

Answer 13

It's all politcal and I have to hand it to McCain he pulled a fast one if this pick holds true.  She is a true conservative and it will help him with that base and of course women will love it.  I hope it works out for them.

Answer 14

Anything McCain and the GOP do at this point is out of desperation.
