Choosing Sarah Palin: Did McCain just Lose the Election?

Sarah Palin was an excellent choice for John McCain. We'll never know but it could be a key factor in his November win. Why would someone say that the Governor of Alaska looks like a soccer mom or a secretary? Because she is a woman, as if that is something less than a man?

Do you want to look down on the soccer moms? Obama's whole campaign is about relating to real people. Soccer moms are real people.

The experience issue is not an issue. If you say that Sarah Palin does not have adequate experience to be VP, then you blow Obama right out of the water. Other than being a corrupt Chicago thug politician, he has no more experience than Sarah, as a matter of fact, he has less. Any you choose him to be President.

Brilliant move by McCain.

I don't know if it is a mistake. I'm wanting to shoot my friend because now that he chose her, she's actually thinking of voting for him!!!! I can't believe it! But she's actually been watching this woman he's picked and she has a lot of the same stances that she does. Actually she seems more libertarian than republican, so because of her McCain may just garner votes from people who are by no means republican.

Yes I believe McCain Just lost the election, he picked a woman trying to show Obama up, believe me it's not going to work, it will back fire in his face, what does Sarah Palin know about running this country nothing that's what she knows.

I think McCain made an excellent choice. Running a state gives her much more executive and leadership experience than Obama has ever had - and he's running for President. She's strong, understands middle-income people (her husband was a union member), she's done the things that women have to do - be involved in the PTA, work and balance a home. She understands us. She also went up against big oil companies and against the good ol' boys in Washington. She REFUSED the money Congress tried to send for the bridge to nowhere (although they probably spent the money elsewhere). She even has some foreign country relations experience. Sure, it's with Canada and they're easy, but it's still foreign policy experience. And with where Alaska is situated, she probably understands about Russia more as well.

She's got WAY more experience leading than Obama, who has NO experience, practical or otherwise.

Did you miss where she is the GOVERNOR of Alaska and she was the mayor of Wissilla AK?

Unlike, Obama, she actually has the experience to lead, as well as an overwhelming approval rating in her home state.

Judging her by her looks rather than her abilities; go back to your cave, He-Man.

I personally think it was a ridiculous that he picked someone so inexperienced. She has very little government experience. How could she be president? Plus she has five kids. Nothing like that getting in the way of her performing her presidential duties.
I think she needs to perhaps raise her kids she considers doing somthing else. Wasnt being governor and having five kids a big enough challenge for her??

there's no way mcCain was going 2 win anyway, he's going be just like bush and mann he's to old to be in da white house...

I think she's do fine. She is a mother and good looking. I think that will help get women and guys both. McCain has more than enough experience for the job and HE is the one who will be running the show. True the vice president will take over if the president dies, but you never elect a president thinking they will die in the 4 years they are in office.

I agree with you I do think it was the wrong choice, he may have gained a few voters but I think he will lose even more. Anyway she does seem like a good enough lady but she really dosn't have much experience at all. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I really wish he would have picked Romney that was the only way I was going to vote for him.

He did. He has lost this election by choosing Palin as a running mate. There are so many people that he could have choosen, but he had to choose Palin, a woman with little to no experience. He truly has lost this election.
