Answer 7

Not Giuliani.  But I think Pawlenty would have  being a better choice.

Answer 8

Yeah, he would have a much stronger chance.

Answer 9

No, no, no

Answer 10

i think he would. i am sorry but if she cant teach her own child how to use a condom...she is hardly a great example for the rest of the country.  

Answer 11

no...they all are pretty weak choices , romney and huckabee only appeal to the far right while giuliani is pretty much a liberal. palins views are pretty much in line with mccains  

Answer 12

Romney, Guiliani, or any other RINO would have sunk him completely.  Political suicide.

Huckabee would have been good.

It ain't over yet.  The selection of Palin has given McCain a huge boost in fundraising.

Answer 13

I think if McCain chose Romney... he would have won it hands down. Now.. I think he is spiraling towards inevitable disaster.

Big issues are the Economy and Iraq. they would have had both of those easily covered on Obama-Biden. AND would still have been able to use the very successful 'experience' mantra(which they now have to avoid with Palin on the ticket.) As well as portraying Romney as the Washington outsider he is. Also Romney doesn't come along with any unknown surprises. McCain is completely Daft for picking Palin.  

Answer 14

1) Romney maybe - he had big popularity and I would have bet he would be the pick

2) Huck possibly - decent support, but they allready were voting mccain

3) Giuliani no way - nobody but the news likes giuliani

Since people dont care about government size, power, cost, or freedom & liberty, I was figuring he would pick for ethnicity or s*x. Its the pop culture thing right now.

Answer 15

Yes, one of the cores of conservatism is to stand by the father figure that thinks they know best regardless and attack anyone who presents evidence evidence of guilt before that proof can weaken the know best protectionist commander in chief image. A women does not fit the father figure that knows best image. But because the women is bellow the male in the form of VP they may except her. We have to remember conservatives vote against people not fore people.

Answer 16

I wouldn't put allot of faith in the poll numbers till after the debates.

Answer 17

No. His best chance is with Palin. However, I'd have preferred Snowe, because she's just an amazing leader.
