To me it does not make sense if you actually voted for her not because she is a woman, but liked her views that you would start voting for Mccain.I don't understand, I don't get it. Hillary is against Mccain, they are totally opposite. She said no way no how John Mccain, if I'm quoting it right.It does not make sense to me. The only way I can make sense out of it is to say it's either you would rather suffer with another Bush than to vote for a black/white president, if that's the case I hope that one day you will be able to see the person and not the color, or because she is a woman. I hope not. I am asking you that if you are thinking about voting for Mccain instead of Bush Hillary supporters that you will carefully think about it, please don't fall for John's tricks. The media portrays that now Hillary's supporters are going to vote for John just because he has a woman VP, I don't think so we are smarter than that. For the sake of this country please I'm begging you please vote for Barack Obama, but it's your choice. Thanks

I have no clue who I am voting for at this point. I don't like Obama due to his lack of experience. I don't know a heck of a lot about McCain other than that he is old and seems very boys club. Plus who is the world chooses a running mate that has opposing views?!?

I'm sure that you will make the right decision after you listen to everyone speak. I try to stay open to what everyone has to say. I don't know much about either VP on the democratic or republican side so I can't really form an opinion about them. I think it was probaly a hard decision for John Mccain and Barack Obama to choose the VP.

I'm confused what you mean by opposing views???... Obama's running mate actually stated before becoming the VP running mate that he was against Obama due to his lack of experience and would actually have considered being McCain's running mate. About the only thing between Pulin and McCain that I heard is that although McCain is open to drilling the section he isn't for drilling at Pulin is and she is planning to show McCain why. Whatever you decide be careful when doing your research to dig through the garbage for the truth, watch multiple news stations. Some seem more pro to a certain candidates lately. Try to debunk all you can. That's how I arrived at my decision.

So you would rather vote for someone who says that children are a punishment, does not want infants who survive an abortion to live. For me those are two very good reasons not to vote for Obama. It also makes me suspect anyone who would vote for him in spite of his anti-child views. I mean it is not his color, but if he considers himself African-American and knows that Planned Parenthood is targeting Harlem as a place to put abortion centers and is targeting the African -American community he should really be against abortion in the first place. I mean if you said I love children, I would not believe you if you knew of his views and still voted for him.

I love children also and I don't support abortion, but I feel that everyone should have the freedom to choose. Just because a person believe in pro choice does not mean that they have anti-child views.

I talked to a Hillary supporter today, and she said she would not vote for Obama in a million years... said he's smug, and the biggest deal breaker he's actions toward the national anthem, and not putting his hand on the bible and she seriously doesn't believe that Hillary believes he would be good for this country. So she said she won't vote but said she may change her mind and vote for McCain because she was pro-life and after hearing about Pulin she may have more interest. My best friend's husband was a Hillary supporter and now he's for McCain, said he's a democrat all the way at the beginning of this election, but if Obama was going to be the democratic nominee he would vote just to be sure not to get him. He told me recently he's sticking to that plan because he wants a true American....His words not mine. There just seems to be a lot of hate for Obama when it comes to Hillary voters. I don't believe there is anything tricky about McCain's choice... If you are suggesting that woman voters would just be interested in voting for a woman, I certainly would hope not. Maybe in the end it's as they say... you vote for the lesser of two evils. I switched my support to McCain long ago, never a Hillary supporter but at first my eyes were on Obama, and I would be ashamed if he were to be president of the United States of America. Now with Pulin a woman who has made a difference and even fought corruption in her own party the choice is easy and not so much just voting against the other. If she was a man I would feel the same way based on her record of reform for Alaska. As for your statement for the sake of this country... there are just as many McCain and now Pulin supporters who use the same line, depends on your point of view. So I say for the sake of this country vote McCain. Sorry, but that's how I see it.

Don't say you are sorry, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just want to see what people think about issues.

I agree with you totally. when hillary ran for nominee she didn't do it because she was a woman she did it to help people. She won votes because of her issues not because she was a woman. And now John McCain had picked a woman for VP candidate. This does raise some serious question about john McCain and hi decision. So lets what things go from now? www.associatedcontent.com/article/994910/john_mccain_vp_a_big_risk_or_blunder.html?cat=9 www.nitesh123.blogspot.com

Obama's color has nothing to do with my voting. I did vote for Hilary but will not vote for Obama. Why? I do not see anything about Obama to vote for. Change? Right. All politicians are for change, but things do not change that much once they get into office. Candidates say what they think the voters want to hear then do whatever they please once they are in office. McCain's choice for VP is a good one, in my opinion. So, Time will tell who wins

Hopefully Obama will be able to win your vote if that is possible. I supported Hillary and Obama and I could not really see a big difference in them. I listened to both of them during the debates and I would have voted for either one. Thanks for your response.
