Question

Republicans, are you proud of McCain's VP choice, why or why not?

Answer 1

I am happy with this particular choice because of her record as a home grown legislator, her apparent ability to communicate, and the philosophy she stands for. And I am one of those who prefer men in power, so she changed my opinion of the ability of women in politics.

Answer 2

OVER THE MOON excited!!

Palin is a true reformer!  Wait unti all the facts come out...she just keeps getting better and better:

Ran as a reformer, and won.

First action as governor was lowering her own salary.

No afraid to take on her own party if it is wrong.

Most popular gov. in America.

All while raising 5 kids...one who will soon be serving in Iraq.

If she is not experienced enough for you, then neither is Obama.

She is perfect!

Answer 3

Very proud...and excited.  I first heard of her back in the Spring when some conservative blogs started mentioning her name as a a possible VP.  I began to research her and really liked what I read.  She was the one I was personally hoping he would choose.  When she wasn't mentioned on any "short lists", however, I thought it wouldn't happen.  I was very surprised and pleased when the announcement was made!

Answer 4

Proud.  She worked to get where she is unlike some others.
