Please tell me women are smart to see Mccain hired a women for female votes.?

Question

Or did most of you fall for it?

Answer 1

I see a lot of one issue women posting here. She has it all, intelligence,  looks a great family. Once again the Repulicans picked a winner

Answer 2

Machiavellian, is he not? :|

I could SO tell. And probably because he thinks she's hot. -_-

Answer 3

Oh h**l yeah! Too bad she doesn't support women herself on women's issues though. That kind of throws and onion in the ointment.

Answer 4

In my opinion, for the Republican campaign, it was done out of haste to have this woman on their ballot.  Yes, they did pick her because she was a woman.  John McCain just met her on the street, had a talk with her, and decided she can be the next Chess piece in his campaign to winning the White House.  Also, it could seal more opportunity and loyalty among Angelical voters since she is in favor by the religious people of her state.  So, there is a lot of strategy that was so obvious and because it's so obvious, it was done in haste.  John McCain is 72-years-old, if God forbid something happened to him, she would take over the presidency.  Yes.  Her.  With zero experience in Washington.  Republicans are already scratching their heads with this one because she even went after her own party at times, which, I guess can be good but is seen as stubbornness among her peers.  She can do that in little Alaska but she could not do that in Washington as easily.  Also, another reason why I believe this decision was done in haste is because it will interfere with John's personal life.  Do you believe for one second his wife is going to be happy with having secret meetings with this woman?  Hasty decisions provide hasty results.    

Answer 5

Well I did not fall for it, but I can accuse someone of being dumb and make a coherent sentence.

Answer 6

I don't think that he selected this woman for female votes, per se, rather it was a political strategy to somehow create a wedge between him and the "traditional" Republican Nominee for the administration.

His choice of VP doesn't have a particularly strong platform in terms of advocating abortion, and it's rather clear, so even to the Feminist she is unappealing.

I am of the opinion that this was not at all a move to get women to vote for McCain, as women generally vote Democrat, irrespective of any other variable that's controlled for.

His pick was based purely an attempt to level the Dem playing field by saying, look, we may belong to the same party as GWB, but we're not gonna be a continutation of his silly ways.  He couldn't just as easily picked a marshmallow as his running mate, but the key was to politically distinguish himself from this silly notion that Dems pain of him being a GW3 term, rather than an experienced wise gentleman.

Answer 7

so by your reasoning does that mean obama picked biden to get white men's votes?

Answer 8

I asked my friend the same thing, and she said her partner was so behind Clinton because she wanted a woman that she might be swayed. I think everyone's smart enough to see it, but they might decide to vote for McCain anyway.  It's like when I know I'm being completely manipulated by a commercial, but I want to buy the product anyway. (I'm not buying MacCain's product, though)

Answer 9

He may have but he picked out a good one! She don't take no $hit, says what she means and is a very smart women. Check out her record in Alaska and what the people there think of her.

P.S. and don't just look at the left wing stuff or the Repub sights, do a little research, she's a keeper.
