McCains running mate " Sarah Palin " ?

Question

How do you view McCains' choice of picking " Sarha Palin " as his running mate ?..... I see it as obvious as we all know - ( him trying to win Hillary supporters over Obama ) , and also I think McCain chose Palin in an effort to win votes by selling s*x.. you have to admit , Palin is a pretty Lady , but I do not agree with her political agendas . ...what's your opinion of this whole matter ?

Answer 1

Well, Dubya had Harriet Meiers... McCain has Sarah Palin.

"I'll just pull someone out of nowhere who has no discernable credentials to lead who's a crony of mine and will on a superficial level appeal to a constituency whose votes I need so that I can further my agenda."

Maybe the GOP will shut up about Obama's lack of experience now that they've got a woman who was the mayor of a podunk in the most sparsely-populated, second furthest-flung state in the union running as #2?  Nah, probably not.

She's way bustierrrrm I mean more graceful than Hillary but that has nothing to do with leadership capabilities.

Answer 2

We are lucky to have this intelligent Lady----Hooray!!!!

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 3

they have called her the Barracuda because she is tough and has cleaned up the corruption and overspending.  she is against ear marks and refused 'the bridge to nowhere'.

i think it was a brilliant choice.  it shows that Obama only talks about changing things when he chose an insider who withdrew with 9000 votes and refused to consider Hillary with her 18 Million votes.  this was an insult, not only to democratic women but all women.  i am not a democrat but anyone can see that the treatment her own party gave her was awful.  it is that they only talk diversity but we actually take action on it.  it could have increased their chance of victory but Obama didn't want to stand up to the Clinton's, how can he stand up to our enemies.

remember that we had never heard of Obama either until he ran for presidents  i would be willing to bet that the liberal media will be all over her background and associates even though they have failed to do this with Obama.  i think she will stand up to it which is more than he could do if the press really did their job.  instead they have made it their goal to elect Obama and there is no professional journalism anymore, we have to go to the intranet.

the democrats really seem to be afraid of her, i was really proud when she was selected.  it was a bold moving proving McCain is the maverick like people have called him for years.

Answer 4

i dunno.

either way we have a black guy or a lady.

so im goin independent  

Answer 5

Just because a woman is beautiful and have brains is wrong. Yes she is the one with ALL the qualifications and I'm glad McCain found her.  I think this team will be great and did you notices how happy and alive and perky McCain is now. Yes, God answers prays and he gave her to McCain and an old man to Obama.

Answer 6

McCain's selection of Palin was pure pandering, and Clinton voters are smarter than that.  Palin views on privacy, birth control, guns, drilling, etc. are diametrically opposed to Clinton's.  McCain did not completely vet Palin and may be unpleasantly surprised later when the press starts to research.  Get ready.  

Answer 7

She's pretty? Maybe if you're drunk she is.

Answer 8

it really dose not matter, Mccain thinks to much like bush, and we don't need for more years of Bush.  

Answer 9

she is smart, and a class act. dems hate that. It shows McCain is a smart man by surrounding himself with smart, beautiful women. So now we are going to see democrats being against beauty. how sad for the party sheep. too baaaaaaaaaaaad Obama will lose. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Answer 10

From what I can see so far of Sarah Palin..I like her. I wish her well.

Answer 11

It's an obviously poorly thought out hasty last minute decision made out of desperation.  It's not Palin that is at fault - it's McCain's poor judgement.

Answer 12

I think she's great!

Answer 13

She disgusts me.  

Answer 14

She is pro-life and pro-gun and pro-drilling in ANWR.  How would that win over any Hillary supporters?

You don't AGREE with her political agendas - that doesn't mean she isn't qualified.

The woman is not stupid, and she's tough as nails.

Answer 15

Exactly.

She's 'hot' apparently.

She's a woman.

End of story, I guarantee people don't look any further than that.

Answer 16

personally i think it is a disaster, this woman is an absolute quack

i don't think this was meant to get hillary supporters at all - this is going after the fundamentalist vote

Answer 17

McCain is well aware that in politics, women have been underrepresented. Politics is a male control club. Hillary was tossed aside and ********* e d slapped by the Democrat Party. McCain being the adventurous one played for all the marbles. McCain also proved that he can be conservative when the chips were down. He played too much and for too long with liberal terms and ideology. It got him no where. He knows that he was set up by the media to win the primaries. He did not win on his views. He won to go against Hillary or Obama and eventually loose. It is pay back time. He choose Palin for her gender to rub it in the face of the Democrat Party and lastly, because it was going to happen sooner or later. He wants to go down in history as the first president that gave a woman the position of Vice President. Providing he wins. Something that Obama failed to do with Hillary.
