Who believes that the Gov. Palin choice for VP, shows both strategic and tactical savvy on the part?

Question

of the McCain campaign? Man that McCain is a real thinker!

Answer 1

Extreme savvy!!!! I didn't know he had it in him. I am very impressed!

Answer 2

There have been significant changes in perception of John McCain in the two days of polling since he named Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Since then, 49% of Republicans voice a Very Favorable opinion of McCain. That’s up six percentage points from 43% just before the announcement. Also, 64% of unaffiliated voters now give positive reviews to McCain, up ten points since naming his running mate.

There has been little change in perceptions of Obama since his Thursday night speech and the Palin announcement (see trends and other recent demographic observations).

Answer 3

on paper, it seems like it sure does. Depends tho on the info that comes out about her, which will determine if it indeed was a smart political move.

Answer 4

Quite savvy of McCain and the Republicans. A self made woman who earned her governorship through hard work and savvy was a clever pick by the Reps. She's pretty, she's bright, and she's a woman who earned her status the old fashioned way. McCain is now looking like a polltical genius for trying to corral disgruntled Hill Billies.

Answer 5

Not me. MCcain picked her as an act of desperation. A popular Alaskan bumper sticker:  "COLDEST STATE, HOTTEST GOV " He chose style over substance. Lots of goobers in this country dig a hot chick who shoots guns.

Answer 6

YES

Answer 7

Don't know yet...

We will get a better sense of her and the response after the convention, and she will have to debate Biden ( but it is not hard to imagine her whipping him).

I love that she is a person of faith, and seems to be able to make wise out-of-the-box decisions and follow through on them, but at the same time she is a heartbeat away from taking the Presidency from a 72-year-old, and who knows her abilities on foreign policy? And that is nothing that can be compromised in this day.

So... there is more to find out on Mrs. Palin at this point.

Answer 8

Most definitely.  McCain is reaching for Hillary's supporters, and I believe Palin has much more to offer.  

Answer 9

Yes.That is why you are hearing so much whining from the Libs...

Answer 10

It was obvious that he would choose a woman since obama did not.

if Obama would have chosen Clinton..then mcain would have chosen a black running mate.

Tactical --maybe...the best choice...no

Answer 11

This is the most WONDERFUL turn of events of the year !!  God bless America !!
