Is anyone really going to change who they are voting for just because McCain selected Sarah Palin for his VP?

Question

Did McCain think he'd really pick up votes with his selection for vice president? It seems like he's trying to attract Conservatives and disenfranchised Hillary supporters but I've yet to hear anyone say that the choice of Sarah Palin would sway their votes in November

Answer 1

no not at all

Answer 2

my mother who is a clinton supporter,was livid the republican party would think she was this stupid.

Answer 3

I am a proud Obama supporter. I don't give a c**p who McCain chose, although I am a little disturbed the reason he chose her. What I find amusing is that McCain was attacking Obama for lack of experience. Guess he can't use that anymore.

Answer 4

Mccain is a cry baby

looks like he ran home to mama

after Obama's speech

Palin just got the call last night

she didn't even have time for a makeover

Answer 5

Hardly. I have yet to see where Palin stands on the issues.

Answer 6

sure

but me personally, i was going to vote for mccain anyway.

Answer 7

lol, I don't think so! haha (I've been wondering myself..)

Answer 8

I have heard some republicans are changing their vote.

Answer 9

it is going to be very interesting to see how the supporters of Hillary Clinton react

Palin is a woman, but she could not be any more different on the issues.....

Answer 10

I certainly hope not.  I would like to think that women in general are smarter than falling for the "token" woman they just placed on that ticket.  My lord. Two years as gov of ALASKA and she could be the president (because we are all aware that he IS 72 years old).  He must have lost his mind.   I hope we are smarter than that....

Answer 11

PUMA

Answer 12

h**l no!!  

Answer 13

sure

rather than the hater & old baldy

hugs!

Answer 14

I was on the fence after last night. What a difference 12 hours makes.

Answer 15

McCain was bad enough and now he picked someone I bet half the people in the USA dont even know. But yes he is trying to get Hillary's supporters.

Answer 16

No

Answer 17

Nah, I'm still voting for him.

Answer 18

Probably i think some people would change, and also, alot of on the fence people will go for mccain, it was a fabulously smart move

Answer 19

No, McCain had a chance to grab a lot of votes with Romney. He lost it. I'm an Obama supporter. I am so please McCain picked and inexperienced VP to complement the oldest presidential candidate ever (McCain). I'm lovin' it. I think this just sealed the deal for Obama.

We were all talking last night, me and my fellow Obama supporters, We thought for sure it would be Romney. The economy is going to be the big issue. Romney is a know financial hawk (and also an outsider with WAY more experience than Palin.) The choice of Romney would have killed most of our arguments. We are now able to call attention to the fact that the last time the government operated in a surplus was during the Clinton years. McCain can not counter this now. Palin was mentioned on Wednesday (When McCain said he had 'made his choice'). We all figured though that this would break McCains 'experience' argument too much (come on, everyone knows conservatives love someone who has a proven track record.) This pick is surprising. and I am pleased as a democrat. Basically he just went all in with 2's and we are holding Aces(if you get my texas hold 'em analogy.) It could help a lot more than he needs... but the chances of it working are slim to none...

Answer 20

I think she's great.  And she's not a Washington insider.  

Answer 21

he picked her because she voted to lower tax gave oil money revenue to the people of Alaska she is pro life and has been fighting corruption with in the oil companies she also has the belief in the right to bare arms this is why he picked her she is 100% Conservative

Answer 22

absolutely, mccain is a sneaky one, to think it wouldn't would be ignorant

Answer 23

Yes.  I was a Hillary supporter.  Big time.  

Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton.  I'm back in the Democrats' camp.

Answer 24

I like Palin. I might actually vote for McCain now.

Answer 25

It's not about those that may change. It's about those who were undecided.

Answer 26

Rather than picking up Democrats, I think he succeeded in gathering the support of Conservatives who may not have voted at all or voted Libertarian, so it will get him votes.

Answer 27

I don't know a whole lot about either one of the candidates for president but McCains voting record on CAGW looks impressive.However, his foreign policy mindset is questionable. Obama seems like the type of person that believed that government is the answer to everything and so is spending taxpayer money as well increasing gov't programs. I know the US is deep in debt and my children and I will pay for it. As far as the original question. Yes, am leaning toward McCain but only because he chose Sarah Palin but I would like to know more about her. I still wish Ron Paul was the presidential nominee and Kucinich was the vp.
