Why didn't McCain chose a African American Like Allen Keyes, Michael Steele, Larry Elders, Jesse Lee Petersen?

Question

He could have even chose Tom Ridge or

another Caucasian woman with more International intellect.

Michael Steele is articulate and has a quick wit.

(I only chose wiki. because it has his bio)

By chosen Palin, Isn't it evident that he intends to push through another George Bush term? Palin claim to fame includes sharing profits one time with Big Oil getting $1200 for Alaskans. But so did Louisiana's Governor, who has much more experience? Bobby Jindal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jindal

Answer 1

Because they are not like McCain.

They do not have his likeness and moral values.

McCain and others like him feel comfort in their on kind.

Although all of those people are good and articulate people, they are considered less than.

Answer 2

McCain has now proven himself to be a fool.  We can rest assured in this and move on to an Obama/Biden victory.  Obama/Biden 2008!

Answer 3

Keyes has run twice and gotten no attention, so it wouldn't make any sense to pick him, the other ones are even less known and bring nothing to the party.Mccain had 3 good choices. Huckabee, Romney and Palin.The first two ran on their own and lost against him.Palin is pro-life and pro-gun and will help bring women into the party.Good choice!

Answer 4

Don't you mean "black American", since none of the individuals you mentioned were born in Africa? My lineage is from Europe (England and Germany), but I don't consider myself a "European American"... I was born in the U.S.A. & that makes me an American, nothing more and nothing less.

Answer 5

First, if he did pick a African American, it should have been Condelezza Rice. Second, it would look too much like a gimmick.  

Answer 6

He made the best choice for him to win in Nov. You think he chose a loser? Just because you don't see the big picture or what he is planning, doesn't mean it is bad. Besides, where is Obama and his CHANGE? McCain actually was the FIRST of the two to do something new and different. All Obama can do is BLAH BLAH BLAH! Lets see some CHANGE Sen. Obama.
