Were you more likely to vote for Palin when you heard about her daughter?

Question

I am! It tells me that the Palin's are a regular and real family and that Palin has not been ochestrating every move to become the VP. They are truly not the Washington Elite.

Answer 1

I really don't care. Palin is an intelligent woman that will make a great VP. She has a PERSONAL family issue to deal with the situation isn't her fault.

No change in my vote!

Answer 2

What bothers me about Palin is that while she is out crusading against abortion and gun laws, her 17 year old unmarried daughter is getting bent over a couch some where, and getting pregnant. Who the h**l is she to be self rightgous, and telling other people what to do when she can't take care of her own family. Why should she involved with our governments decisions, that directly effect our familys. I hope you have a 17 year old daughter who gets pregnant, unless you already do.

Answer 3

The age of consent in Alaska is 16.

Blaming Palin for her daughter getting pregnant without being married is hypocritical. America is full of pregnant teens who are not married.

Answer 4

Hasnt changed my vote.

McCain/Palin 08

Answer 5

Well said, I am still voting for Mccain/Palin.  It doesn't matter they are still better than the Obama/Biden ticket.  Just wait till all the Obama and Biden stuff come out.

Answer 6

I've been planning to vote for McCain since the end of May.  But I can tell you that my sister likes Palin even more because of the news about Palin's daughter that came out today.

Answer 7

It did not affect my vote at all.  I was for her before and I am now.  I jsut think it;s sad that she will be apart from the baby when she moves to Washington DC.

Answer 8

I was undecided about my vote until people started attacking a seventeen year old girl.  Now I am voting for McCain and Palin.  I think the Obama folks have made a big mistake in attacking Bristol.

Addendum:  That's not true, Moose, I have seen all sorts of cruel things said about Bristol today.  Don't bury your head in the sand and tell me what I have seen and not seen.

Answer 9

Palin is trying to become a VP, not the mother of all US population. So, that shouldn't affect me.  

Answer 10

it tells me that the gop is full of hypocrites who will talk about Obama's family for months, and then begin their shrill whining when something about Palin's family comes out.

Pathetic.

Answer 11

I can't vote for Palin since she is a VP. I can vote for Obama or McCain. I am voting for Obama because he has sound decision-making skills.

Answer 12

No.  I would never vote for Palin.  I love animals, and her Pro-Life stance only applies to humans.

Answer 13

No, that's trashy.

I'm all the way for Obama!

Answer 14

I was still going to vote McCain/Palin. This doesn't change my vote, I'm not voting for the Antichrist

Answer 15

Hmmm that's funny, they are nothing like my family.  How do you define "regular" and "real"?  I'd really like to know.

and....h**l NO, I wouldn't vote for McCain before, I have no desire to see a fundamentalist hypocrite in #2 most powerful position in the country...the thought is frightening...and your justification is frightening too.

Answer 16

Nice spin try - not buying it - stretched and does not ring true.

I will not vote for a divisive extremist right wing nut.  She can backpedal all she wants on creationism and hire a herd of lawyers to defend her state trooper-gate, she is still unacceptable.

And to the spin-doctors fighting the straw man - I have not seen an attack or negative comment on Palin's daughter.  Palin is a joke, but nothing has been said about her child.

Answer 17

I could never vote for an anti-choice homophobic creationist.

Answer 18

I have been for McCain all along!!

Answer 19

No, what does her daughter have to do with the real issues at hand? If a pregnant teen is the worst of our worries....then I'd say we have it pretty good.

Answer 20

I guess, if you like trailer-trash morals. Everybody's got to have a hobby.

Answer 21

You are delusional and trying to justify this news...here is something to think about.

Sarah Palin is a selfish women who has put her own ambitions above her daughters privacy.

Sarah knew Bristol was pregnant before she accepted the VP nomination. She was well aware that it would eventually have to come out. So she was aware of the fact that her daughters name would get blasted all over the nation on every news channel making the nation aware that this 17 year old is pregnant. For a 17 year old girl to be pregnant, even though it happens all the time, it is a very traumatic experience. It would have been traumatic when her little town and high school she goes to finds out that she is pregnant. But now she gets to see her name and picture on every news channel and every website. And all of this because her mother saw a chance to get some national recognition. How compassionate is that? She put her own ambition before the respect of privacy of her daughter.

Answer 22

Sadly for you, you will not be able to vote for Palin. She's just the running mate of the candidate.

Answer 23

not old enough to vote but no one i knew was voting mccain anyway,but if it was me,i'd be less likely to vote,although i don't get why this should affect people's opinions seeing that this has nothing to do with the election

Answer 24

I could give a rats patootie about Palin's daughter .All families have their  little tragedies and now the Palin family has theirs .I wish them well

The reason that I won't vote for people like Palin is that I know that they represent more of a threat to our American way of life than terrorists do.

Terrorists only kill people ,Crazy right wingers kill democracy

Answer 25

nope no change.

still voting obama
