Who thinks Sarah Palin was a wise VP choice from McCain?

Question

I think it was a great choice.

Thoughts?

Answer 1

I can't say great, but I can say very interesting.  By choosing her, the democrats will be totally off the mark since they were prepared for Pawlenty, Romney, and a couple of others.

It is already interesting to see how they are going to try and attack her since they can't attack her for being a woman ( or will they).  Both parties will use anything they can to destroy the other.  

We will get to see how the party of tolerance and inclusion reacts to the republican inclusion of a woman.

Answer 2

I don't.  Two years of experience in a state where nobody lives.  How does she make a good candidate?  

Answer 3

I think it's a great choice for the conservative vote. She's Pro-Life and I admire that!

Answer 4

Unsure yet, he will lose some votes because of it and gain some votes because of it.

Answer 5

No.  Can you count?

2<12  (Psst that math symbol means: Less than two years is not greater than 12)

The state & federal senatorial career of Barack Obama spans 12 years, 8 years in the Illinois State Senate and nearly 4 years on Capitol Hill. He was elected to Capitol Hill November 2, 2004.

Answer 6

i know lots of people think that she's a great choice, but i haven't made up my mind yet. here's what i saw on a washingtonpost.com board:

"By my way of thinking, McCain loses across the board.   He gets nothing demographically from someone in a small, already Republican state.   She will pull not a single woman from Obama; even disaffected Hillary supporters will not stomach an ardent right-to-lifer.  She is so inexperienced, she will worry anyone who is concerned about McCain's age.   And lastly, she has just made it impossible for McCain to ever criticize Obama's lack of experience."

Answer 7

I wouldn't say it was a wise choice. But as a Democrat I think it's a great choice...for us. McCain's talking point #1 "Experience" just got flushed down the Alaskan pipeline.

Answer 8

Me too!
