McBush is just using Palin to get the woman voters...?

Question

although strategically it was a good move but at the same time..i believe she is a pawn..

But i must admit having 5 kids and being governor and having the career path she has taken and being only 44...she is a very bright women and a good role model to others...

but i guess mc cain chose her because she can relate to woman as far as her personal life...

do you really think he chose her for what she stands for or he just did it to get the hillary voters??

Answer 1

I believer that John McCain and the Republicans chose her because of what she represents for Americans...a good role model, a good mother, a Christian mother, highly intelligent and served in several political careers before becoming the first woman in the state of Alaska to become Governor.  Her husband is down to earth, and works for an Alaskan industry, they have five beautiful children.  

They are a wholesome American family....perfect role model for our children...I was just worried about this the other day...well, the Lord has answered my prayers through John McCain's choice for Vice President.  Thank you God!

Answer 2

He's not "using" her just to get women voters. He simply wanted a running mate who would appeal to the conservative voter base. And besides, former Hillary supporters were ALREADY planning to vote for McCain anyway. So Sarah or no Sarah, it wasn't a move to win over former Hillary supporters.

Answer 3

she was chosen because of her true self

a hard working women who instead of boo hooing joined pta to be INVOVLED in her community and low and behold found something that she could do to make a difference, isn't that the american dream.

Answer 4

I don't agree.. Sarah Palin is a Conservative in her own right, so she helps w/the base of the Republican vote -the fact that she's a woman isn't necessarily going to get former Hillary-supporters because of the difference in views.

Answer 5

she is pro-life, she hunts, she is a member of the NRA, she has 5 kids, she is a "good christian woman" all things the republicans are using to get the "average" (especially rural) women to vote for them.

yet they don't want these same women to get healthcare or our public schools to get decent teachers and decent funding!

it's her image!

i see right through it!!

Answer 6

and the reason Biden was picked was for his foreign affairs knowledge. They are all picked for what they bring to table. ...Maybe women arent yet rational enough to vote?

Answer 7

The Dem's handed Obama the nomination because he is a Black man.  They selected him over the woman with more popular votes, and more experience.  He has been in the Senate for 143 days.  If a white male had tried to run for President with as thin a resume as Obama has--he would have been kicked aside.  I think it works both ways.   ***
