Might McCain's choice of Palin be read as an act of desperation?

Question

She has zero foreign policy experience, less political experience in general than Obama, and is currently amid an ethics investigation. Is this a last-ditch attempt by McCain to make his campaign interesting?

Answer 1

I believe so. I believe he is playing the "female voters" card by selecting a female running mate, when Obama did the opposite.  Even if she is qualified or not, which she isn't.  

Answer 2

Since McCain has the experience, Palin brings the freshness and female point of view that half of America (females) have been waiting for.

Answer 3

LOL...this is hilarious...killing Obama over in experience and he picks a chick as 1 year Gov. and listed as a soccer mom....OOOOHHHHHH, I bet the Russians and Iranians are scared now....how pathetic a stunt this is  and how embarrassing for Mcsame for attacking Obama's inexperience....desperation act for sure.  

Answer 4

He wants to get the stupid feminist vote.  

Answer 5

McCain didn't need a "last-ditch" anything.  Even after the Dem Convention, he's only behind in the polls by the standard deviation, and he chose his running mate based on qualifications.

Not only that, but he needed to move to the right of center just a little bit so he could satisfy us conservatives who want to vote just right of center.

Answer 6

Yes, but as you can see by the onslaught of evangelical fervor and blabbering on here tonight he has scored big with this lunatict fringe.
