Sarah Palin pick insult intelligence of Hillary supporters?

Question

I'm an independent, but from a distance this pick ( Palin) looks like an attempt to get the disgruntled Hillary supporters... does McCain really think that Hillary supporters only supported her b/c she is a woman? it seems to insult the inteligence of women...

Answer 1

Obama chose Biden to get white,blue collar workers (you know,the Hillary supporters).  .  

Answer 2

Absolutely.  It is a cynical choice and an insult not only to Clinton supporters but also to all the far more qualified potential candidates among Republican women--e.g., Kay Bailey Huchison, Elizabeth Dole and even Conoleezza Rice.

Answer 3

It's like "Here you go, a woman. Now vote for me!"

Answer 4

Your are absolutely right, this pick is an insult to women in general.

She has basically been pimped out for women votes.

I am no fan of either candidate but this is too much of an obvious ploy, even by todays standards.  Having her mention Clinton in her speech is really a mockery.

Women want a candidate who is a woman because she is qualified as president not because she will be used as a recruiting tool.

If he really wanted to just get elected he should have picked that little gymnast Shawn Johnson instead! Really though, he fumbled this by not picking Romney.

Answer 5

if the  shoe fits,,wear it,,,,,,many women supported hillary merely because she wore pantsuits.

Answer 6

Yes, but more importantly, it is another show of poor judgment on Senator McCain's part.

Answer 7

It is, yes, an insult to intelligent women and to Hillary.
