McCain only met Palin ONCE before picking her? What does that say about his respect for the vice presidency?

Question

I guess he thinks that the vice president should be a foxy trophy wife like the one he always has propped behind him whenever he makes speeches. Never mind that oops, she may actually have to take over the presidency some day if he gets sick. Does he plan on actually discussing policy with her and showing her the ropes? Doesn't he have better things to do if he is president? And don't Americans deserve a vice president that is "ready on day one"?

Answer 1

He and his associates have probably researched her views and positions on subjects, qualifications and benefit to the elections, all that was left is to meet her to see if she personally fit the bill aside from her portfolio which was probably combed through with a fine toothed comb.

Answer 2

It tells me his judgment is excellent and he wants to give the American people Change and Hope we can believe in. Unlike that same old same old guy with the wagging finger.

Answer 3

He's stupid. Really.

And before that, he was blaming Obama regarding of his experience in the senate.

But what about McCain? He's in the senate longer than Obama, but why pick Palin? Plus, Palin is from Alaska, do you think many people know her? d**n.

Answer 4

I think the reason he picked her was because she is a woman and since Hillary is out of the picture he is trying to get feminists to vote for him. It hasn't worked well so far.

Vote for Obama!

Answer 5

what does it matter to you if he picked her or not or how ...if she was picked at all says allot of her as McCain and the Rep took a good ,hard, long look at her.now you can vote Dem and really flush this country down the crapper hows your knowledge of Islam?? and if whats his name is there best choice it don't say much of the Democrats now does it

Answer 6

What does that say about his decision making skills?

Answer 7

This is a sad example of the poor judgment of McCain.

Obama Biden 08

Answer 8

He was pressured to pick Sarah Palin in hopes of snagging the disenfranchised Hillary Supporters.

He might snag a few, but not all of the disenfranchised Hillary Supporters as Ms. Palin is 180 degrees opposite Hillary on key Women's Issues.

We are going to see a 369-369 Electoral College Tie. The Tie Breaker will go to The House. Since the House is Slimly controlled by Democrats, Obama will be Appointed our 44th President of the United States of America.

Answer 9

Sounds like you are an Obama lover.  A man who has no idea what tot do about foreign policy.  This guy wants to get our troops out of Iraq and leave us open to more terroist attacks.  How easily the world forgot about 9/11!  As for VP, I think she's a terrible choice too.  This woman is pro-life.  She has a down-syndrome child, and her 17 yr. old daughter is pregnant.  Sounds like she needs to stay home and take care of her family and RAISE them right.  I don't need this woman in the white house telling me what I can and can not do with my body.  This one is no better than the fornicating Clinton and his obedient wife who takes infedelity...what's her name?!!!!!!  

Answer 10

I guess you can read McCain's thoughts since you seem to know what he must be thinking. Really she is a great speaker and what she says is great. So what if he only met her once he had to know about her.

Answer 11

he just wanted Hilary Clinton Voters to vote 4 him

Answer 12

obviously by doing that he shouldn't be president because he doesn't take time to think over his decisions and he just proved by that he might not make good decisions for our country so....GOOO Obama!!!!!!!

Answer 13

McCain other than the go with anyone that's Republican, knows he couldn't get the votes needed. He needs every vote that Hillary received, and all the votes he can get from the ladies that wanted to see a woman in the White House other than the wife of the President.The whole problem with the Presidency now is that it will last 4 years, takes almost 1 1/2 years to show if the new elected President can do the job. If you're going to train someone, make sure that person can do an equal job all the way around. If I had thought of voting for McCain, I would have to think it over again, because of what he has done to other top Republicans that have the needed experience he was talking about. It's to late to turn around now, but if McCain should win, it's only because Republicans would die before they would not vote for a Republican.  

Answer 14

the reason why they only met once is because thats all it takes, republicans like karabu and eskimos, why not have one for VP.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

Answer 15

I was so shocked when I learned that he only met her once before choosing her as a VP. You know, even when you are trying to get a job, they test you, then they interview you countless times. I don't know what he is thinking. Clearly, he doesn't think he needs to work with the VP. To be able to effectively work with someone, they should at least be very familiar with each other. He just chose her because she foxy and is a woman thinking would bring independent women and Hillary supporters.

Answer 16

I'm thinking he had his list upside down when he named Palin.

She certainly is not the best choice.

Answer 17

He knows all about her. It's enough for me and the rest of the people on the Republican side.

Answer 18

It tells me that her past was great enough to stand out and get McCain to notice her for VP.

Obama doesn't have any experience and couldn't run a Quicky Mart much less a whole country.  Buttock Insane Obama is a disaster waiting to happen and he"is what the world has been waiting for".

McCain IS YOUR new president.

Answer 19

Says his slogan about country first needs a Not in front of it.  If the couple were to get into the oval office, they would be puppets just like the current president.  They only have one issue and that is to use private matters to distract from public policy. While they promise to regulate women's uteri, they sell the country to the highest bidder and out from under our feet.  Funny now Palin's new defenders are saying they would like people to keep their private matter of her 17 year old unwed daughter pregnancy private among family.  What incredible hypocrites!
