Should John McCain dump Sarah Palin and pick another VP nominee?

Question

Should the Republican Party TELL John McCain to dump his first pick for Vice President Governor Sarah Palin and choose another more experienced person, such as the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice or Senator Richard Lugar, Ranking member of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committe? Or perhaps one of the rival republican candidates for the Presidency?

Criminalizing women who need an abortion? Creationist?

I mean, I'd love to see a talented woman rise to the US Presidency one day - if not Hillary Clinton then who? Condoleezza Rice?

Condi has more foreign policy experience than anyone, as a Provost of Stanford University, she knows how to drive the economy by introducing new technology. She is more charismatic than anyone. Plus an analysis of a poll of New Yorker State voters predicted a landslide victory 46 States won by a McCain - Rice ticket.

Is there a need for a new Yahoo Group like this one -

"Dump Sarah Palin"

or should Americans just vote Obama - Biden and forget about the GOP?

Answer 1

Why would he have to? She is a great VP pick.

You Democrats think that these non-stop negative questions will make us think you're confident or something. But really, we all know your scared to death of Sarah Palin.

Answer 2

I am McCain all the way but I would rather someone vote for Obama than not vote at all. I support McCain for picking Palin as his VP candidate. It was a wise choice on his part. Everyone keeps saying that McCain is going to be the next Bush but I disagree. I believe they have the same views on things but I believe that McCain will do a much better job.

Answer 3

You Dems are really afraid of her, aren't you?

Answer 4

I think John Mc Cain renounced to the presidency the day he picked Sarah Palin. I think the GOP realized that they screwed up and decided to step aside and let the democrats clean up their mess. What better way to do that than choosing Sarah Palin, the most controversial woman of the hour. Let's face it, If he wanted to win the presidency, there are many,many,many experienced, well qualified republicans that could have helped him win this thing.

Answer 5

oh no, she's such an easy target.

Answer 6

Experience doesn't matter apparently. See Dem. Pres. candidate if theres any questions that experience doesn't matter.

Answer 7

Why do the Democrats want McCain to "dump Palin"?

Answer 8

He's doomed no matter what he does. If he doesn't dump her, he loses the non-fundy Republican vote. If he does, he loses the  fundy Republican vote. It's hilarious.

Answer 9

As an Obama supporter, the answer is "No".

Answer 10

You are not fooling anyone. Paulin has you folks practically peeing on yourselves.  

Answer 11

Too late now.  Too many signs printed up.

Answer 12

Why dump the person that scares the left wing idiots so much they attack her in every possible including her children? Don't you realize the Dems are so afraid of her they are trying EVERYTHING to get her off the ticket. She is a DEM killer and it scares the c**p out of them.  

Answer 13

Her nomination was absolutely zany. It sure sent Republicans into gran mal seizures. A buddy of mine's head almost popped off!  She is such a joke...experience?? Like Alaskans have tough decisions. Where to spend all the pork.  No budget problems, just excesses.  Independent, tough on oil companies...hahahaha

If you call making them pay a little something for fuel!

Governor???? Glorified mascot more likely.

Great choice??  You betcha.  If you like self absorbed, family neglecting, anti-american secessionists!

Johnny boy sure has lost it with his gut decision making? He really ought to try thinking with his other head for a change!!!

Answer 14

No, she's a great choice and will show it tonight.

Country First/Divisive politics must end

Answer 15

though strategy wise it might be a good move,I just dont see it happening.the party wanted him to pick Romney so its not like it hasnt been discussed.

Answer 16

NO shes the one!

Answer 17

No matter what McCain does now, it will be the wrong choice from someone's perspective -- damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.  

Answer 18

Hey, nobody NEEDS an abortion!    Except the VERY TINY percentage of women who may die without one.  

With those FEW exceptions, nobody NEEDS an abortion!!!  

The vast majority of abortions -- at least 98 percent of them -- are not done out of NEED.   They are done out of CONVENIENCE.  

And what does one's belief in creationism vs. evolution have to do with the Presidency?   Or the Vice Presidency?

Those are her personal beliefs, which she is entitled to -- and they have NO bearing on her ability to execute the duties of Vice President.

As for her daughter's pregnancy .... Mrs. Palin has handled this situation WONDERFULLY.

She has handled it with grace, honesty, gallantry, wisdom, responsibility, and unconditional love & support for her daughter.  

What is so freaking wrong with that???

If she were a liberal, chances are HIGH that she would have covered it up, and then taken her daughter to the nearest abortion clinic.

Answer 19

Sure, let John "Flip-Flop" McCain do what comes naturally...  

Answer 20

As soon as i saw Condi on your ticket i just stopped reading.  She's not going to run for something this critical, trust me.  It'd be AMAZING if she did but it won't happen.  And as far as voting for Obama, all i'm going to say is he'll give you CHANGE all right....  Not the kind you envision from his commercials, but there will be plenty of CHANGE in your life....

McCAIN/PALIN FOREVER!!
