Question

What do you think of Palin for VP? Good choice or bad and why?

Answer 1

Bad choice....too many issues coming up.

The Republicans will never win if she stays on the ticket.

Hopefully Mccain will come to his senses and select Romney as the VP.  

Answer 2

Oh Man!  McCain couldn't have chosen more wisely!  Actually McCain didn't choose Palin - Big Oil did.  McCain had hardly met Palin.  And certainly nobody was checking her out.

She's got more problems than any VP candidate in modern history - sexual, religious, family, legal problems.  It's truly great.  She's a fairly obvious phony and nutball.  Her voice is a sort of shriek - very unpleasant - very poor speaker.  She's everything the democrats could have hoped for.  She's anti-abortion - anti-birth control - anti-women's rights.

Why Big Oil would have chosen her is anybody's guess - they probably aren't all that smart themselves.  They just want somebody stupid and easily manipulated - that's Palin - as was Bush before her.  And Big Oil knows it might be able to steal another election anyway as they stole the last two.

So get ready for higher and higher gas prices - more scumbag religion - and more violations of the Constitution.  

Or back up Obama all the way - and let's sent these buggers back to where they came from!

Answer 3

My hope is McCain wins the election and drops dead shortly after, Sarah would make an exceptional POTUS.

Answer 4

A man with her education, background, and experience would still be fishing in Alaska.  She is there because she is a woman and the Republicans think she will get some of Hillary's votes.  

Answer 5

Unfortunately, I think many people will look negatively on them because of the issue with her daughter, but I personally don't hold the issue with against them and think it was a good choice.

Answer 6

It's very simple.

Sarah Palin is great for the ticket, but not necessarily great for the country.

That is, it's a smart move because she will help John McCain win.. but will she really be good in the role of vice president?

Only time will tell, but if her lack of experience and her style show anything (and it is much less experience than Obama has), then it worries me a bit to have someone like that in such a high position : "a heartbeat away from the presidency".  

Answer 7

My only regret with Palin is she's not at the top of the ticket. She's a peach.

Answer 8

A bad choice. You got someone who is simply George Bush dressed up as a woman.

Someone whom lacks experience, lacks personal judgment, believes in denying women their rights, believes in destroying our environment for oil, doesn't care about endangered species, is a religious zealot whom reads too much into religion--rather than real life--doesn't understand how the real world works, and the moment something bad happens...?

She has to whine and cry about it.

Answer 9

Bad.

1) Touts family-first and family values, but is willing to accept the 2nd most important job in the world even though she just gave birth to a boy with Down's and has a teen daughter about to give birth.

2) Only executive experience is 2 years governing a state of 670,000, and several years as mayor of a town of 6,500.

3) Has disputed ties to the Alaskan Independent Party which has advocated for Alaska secession.

4) Education - B.S. in Journalism from Idaho State

5) Her first comment after accepting McCain's nod was an appeal to the glass ceiling, indicating a blatant pander to women voters.

6) McCain's major piece against Obama is his lack of experience, but his pick for VP has far less applicable experience than he does.  Even if Obama's experience is still a factor, McCain can't use it anymore.  He shot himself in the foot.

Answer 10

Great choice...

Answer 11

Horrible choice.  She CANNOT be allowed to be next in line to be president if something happens to McSame.

Answer 12

"IF" she wanted Alaska to secede from the Union, then she is a horrible choice.

Only traitors argue for secession.

Answer 13

I thinks the main reason McCain picked her was to try to get more "female" voters, especially those who feel betrayed by Hillary Clinton. I see this tactic as an insult towards female voters, since Hillary and Palin are total opposites on just about every issue and McCain thinks that women will vote for her simply because she's also a woman. I also believe that McCain thinks that having the first female on the republican presidential ballot will somehow "balance" himself and Obama, the first African American on a presidential ballot.

All ready his stratagy is working as the media is giving him kudos as a "Maverick" politician. So in the sense of helping him win the election, I think he made a solid and logical choice.

However, for the country I think it is a very bad choice. Palin has very little experience as a leader. She has only been govenor of Alaska for two years, and Alaska's population is around 700,000. For comparison, Austin, TX has about 1.5 million.

In addition, her far right Evangelical views on anti-abortion, anti-evolution, and pro-gun scare the h**l out of me. Should McCain kick the bucket (which is highly possible seeing as how he would be our oldest president at 72), the idea that a woman like Sarah Pallin could become the leader of the free world is nothing short of terrifying.

Answer 14

great choice. I like her spunk!

Answer 15

Great choice.  I support Obama. This choice means a sure win for the Democrats.  McCain's advanced age makes it unthinkable for this woman to be the VP because she might actually have to take over.  

Answer 16

she is second place everything second place mother second place beauty queen second place nothing first rate about this woman
