Money, They are both big supporters of Iran, both have received lots of money from pro Iranian groups that want the USA to lift sanctions on Iran McCain found the most honest 2 fisted politician in this country that is for reform and she proved it since she became gov of Alaska

Answer 8

Obama gained a perky matured International Thinker, with lots of political cut throat Zingers with a smile.

McCain gained a perky not so knowledgeable International Thinker that can chauffeur kids to hockey games. And do a great pageant wave with a smile and possibly is a great on the job learner.

Answer 9

Well, it's a good question. From my perspective Obama acknowledged his lack of experience by selecting Biden who contradicts his message of change. On the other hand, Obama needed someone who was comfortable attacking McCain, which he certainly has in Biden.

As for McCain, Palin brings youth, vitality and idealism which has revitalized his campaign. She is a true reformer who is unafraid to hammer even those in her own party. But admitted, she like Obama lacks a long track record of experience. The main difference here is she is the VP pick while Obama is a presidential candidate.

Regardless of what happens with the election, America will make history with either the first Hafrican American President or the first woman Vice President. Very exciting all around.
