McCain picks Sarah Palin

Easy to see why he picked her.

1. Evangelical roots
2. Woman (ex-HRC supporters, anyone?)
3. Young (opposite of McCain)

Most undecided voters left are not from Hillary, they are the same undecided voters from every election.

A smarter move would be to pick somoene because of their policies and history, not because they have a vagina.

Now that Obama has picked an old white man, McCain's choice of a young woman definitely will draw HRC supporters. In an ideal world, everyone would be voting because of policies. But in a nation where 40% of the people think the Republicans are still in control of Congress, expect issues to play a second-hand role to "change" and "celebrity." (not to mention "yes we can" and "hope")

Unless they plan on assassinating McCain and making Palin the new president I don't think they will vote outside their party, especially for such an unknown.

But think about it from a non-issues-oriented HRC supporter's point of view- their candidate was defeated in an extremely close election, and besides the irregularity of the convention appearance, the two camps haven't exactly been at peace (it's rather like the awkward embrace between McCain and Bush in 2000 after the primaries). And then for VP, Obama picks an old white man (remember, we're not talking about issues or experience- this is a caricature of Biden).

I think it's hilarious people would criticize one side but not the other. They're both doing the same thing; playing a game.

QFT.

anti-homosexual rights. anti-choice. doesn't give a dghdg about global warming.
so what does she support? guns.

overall. sarah palin = worse choice ever.

O noes, this coming from a Democrat (or left-leaning independent) that will vote for Obama anyways!
