WHAT? So its only pandering for votes when the GOP puts a woman on their ticket?

Question

But when the Dems attempt to, it makes them open-minded.

Huh?

Answer 1

Whats fun is that you noticed that when a woman was running for the Democratic nomination she lost. Then they didn't even consider her for VP. Interesting sort of "Open-minded".

Answer 2

LEFTIST media bias and DNC manipulation mostly...

Answer 3

Well, I have to admit, when Obama abandoned his change message in favor of his running mate, he certainly wasn't pandering to me.

I'll take McCain/Palin over Biden/Obama, thank you.

Answer 4

it's pandering when you put a nobody female on the ticket just for the hillary votes--WHICH SHE ASKED FOR in her intro speech!!!!  

if mcSame is running on foreign policy and experience--wouldn't it have made more sense for him to pick Condoleeza Rice.

really--how stupid does he think we are??!!!  he thinks we just vote with our ovaries.

the palin selection is disgusting and insulting!  i could name off at least 10 other republican female choices who would've been viable--and not formerly pageant queens--who believe in creationism!

before her 2 years as alaska governer, she was a 2 term mayor of a town just over 5,000 people!!

alaska--with the 3rd smallest population in america (around 600,000) has less population than knoxville, tennessee!  executive experience, my bootie!

Answer 5

Democrats are just whining becuase that makes it twice McCain has burst Obama big speech massive crowd bubble.

Answer 6

What....you mean you see a double standard by the Democrats.  SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!  (Stated with excessive amounts or sarcasm)  Good topic by the way.

Answer 7

McBush/Quaylen are clearly pandering-- the 19 million cracks line just didn't sound right coming out of Sarah Quaylen.

Answer 8

Dems didn't really attempt to do it. They didn't promote any idea of the kind.

If Hillary would have won the nomination, they would've accepted her. But no one was out there advertising for a woman VP.

That's not to say they didn't hope Obama would've chosen Hillary for VP, but that's for another question.

My personal opinion, was McCain did choose Palin to appeal to women voters. He was in a tight race to Prez, and he needed extra voters and support. Plus the fact that she has influence in a state where we want to open up for oil-drilling (which McCain wants to expand) gives McCain even more insentive.

I wouldn't think either side is "open-minded" by picking a women. I'd just call McCain practical and clever, and Obama an idiot. If he wanted to get into the white house, he should've chosen Hillary.
