What do you think of McCain's VP pick?

Question

I think that either his group or the man himself is a political strategic genius. His VP pick is mom and apple pie, and she will appeal to all the disenfranchised Hillary supporters who feel they were snubbed when Obama failed to pick Hillary as his VP. I'm not sure who I will vote for come November, but for a moment, I stood in awe of McCain's VP pick. Again, sheer genius.

What do you think?

Answer 1

This will not help the G.O.P. McCain is just picking a woman to tap into the historical arena of things.

Who Is Gov. Palin?

This lady has a B.A. in Journalism WTF!?!

Women won't fall for this she is Pro-Life, even in cases of rape and incest. This is like when they thought Black people would vote for Republican Alan Keys just cause he is black.

Answer 2

It may have been smart strategy wise.....but can she help him get the job done???

Answer 3

I think that McCain is an IDIOT and so are you for thinking that c**p was "genius "

Answer 4

Good pick because it surprised all of us, however, bad pick because she will more than likely become the first ever female president.  And i'm not saying that women shouldn't be president but not now, i think we need to have several female vp's before the nation will be able to face the idea of a female president, hence Clinton no longer in the race.  And McCain is sure to croak if he is elected, so ...

Answer 5

OBAMA ALLL THE WAYY =]

Answer 6

I think that it's great for Obama/Biden ticket. Because by choosing a running mate with no foreign policy experience, his argument against Obama's inexperience is very weak now. Obama's running mate Biden is highly experienced in foreign policy. Therefore,Obama can lean on Biden to help him make decisions on foreign policy matters. As for McCain,he's 72 years old with a history of health problems. If he dies in office, then Palin will take over as president with very little foreign policy experience. If Obama ends up not finishing his term, Biden will be ready to take over as president because of his extensive foreign policy experience.

But yeah...by choosing inexperienced Palin for his running mate, McCain can't argue about Obama's inexperience. McCain's judgment can be really criticized now.

Also...my first impression about McCain's pick is that he's targeting women voters including especially disgruntled Hillary supporters. However, her strong pro-life record won't sit well with the women that are prochoice. Her strong conservatism won't sit right with liberals. Therefore, his pick might actually backfire. His pick can be seen as insulting womens' intelligence too.

Answer 7

She hunts! She fishes! She eats moose burgers! She can gut a salmon as well as dispatch an incumbent governor! She’sa rural mother of five who clings to guns and religion -– exuberantly!  LOL
