Was Palin chosen because she is a woman? Will she have as much power as the first lady?

Question

"Republican" and "woman" are a contradiction. We women know our rights were made possible by the democratic party.

McCain chose her because she is a woman. He is delusional if he thinks Clinton supporters are that ignorant. She will have no more power or influence than the first lady.

Answer 1

she was chosen because  she is a female & McClone hoped to get a lot of the Hilary supporters to vote for him by chosing Palin as his running mate  not because she was actually qualified to do the job that's fo certain

Answer 2

She has unified the Conservative base and given McCain a victor he would never would have had.  Hillary supporters will come to her after the ***** slapping they got from Obama!

Answer 3

Yes and no.

Answer 4

She obviously was chosen to appeal to the female professional vote and anti abortion rights crowd.  I think choosing her was an insult to all the qualified and also capable women in both Parties who are really qualified.
