Sarah Palin Is a Godsend for McCain

I thought she was a godsend for McCain because she ensured votes from the Hillary camp that want a woman in office, and votes from the evangelical right that want an overly religious candidate. She's good for attracting shallow voters. Is she a good pick for her politics? That remains to be seen.

She certainly made things more interesting. It got people to pay attention again. The Obama novelty has long worn off, and well, McCain is no stranger to us. Biden has been around for a while. People were tired of politics. But at this their head perked up. Who is this girl? It wasn't same old same old anymore. It's some fresh air so to speak. Was it a wise choice? We'll see. Was it a good strategic move? Yes. With the announcement he took the wind out of Obama's sail coming out of the DNC being that the announcement was made the next day. Nobody was really interested in Obama anymore, nobody was really interested in analyzing his speech, everybody was all over who is Sarah Palin. That drew major interest to the McCain campaign. Important, too, because now people were interested in the Republican convention. The rest, we'll have to see how it plays out;)

I am excited about Palin being the VP nominee. She is a breath of fresh air to the whole process. It is going to be worthwhile to vote after all. I agree--it does not matter that Palin's daughter is expecting. It does not matter that she has a disabled child. This woman is for real, she faces many of the same challenges that other women, other Americans face.

I think she will help him out alot! ANd get this she is born on my birthday and born in the same sate I Was so she got to be a good woman huh? lol

She is a Godsend. She represents the silent majority of women whom the media never cared too much about, the pro=life, conservative Christians. She has experience as the governor of Alaska and not only that, experience in doing what many women do and is not acknowledged, multitasking. Also she will attract the older women those who lived with the period where abortion became common and many of these women found that they were not being heard - the ones who could not have their own children. Now things are turning around.

I think she was a great pick...I think he made a really smart move. I also think that it may have been just the thing McCain needed to move ahead of BO. I think she's a strong woman with strong morals who'll do a great job as VP or if need be, President. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I have been hoping for Palin since I found out she was being considered. I am impressed with her no nonsense approach. Those that scream about inexperience should look at Obama's experience I think there are parallels there. I also think that inexperience can be an asset but they have a different way of seeing things. If inexperience is to be utilized I prefer it to be in the lesser position of authority. I also feel it is time for a woman in the White House, but again breaking ground in a lesser capacity....it will open doors though for greater things. As for her daughter being pregnant, I don't believe I saw her name on the ticket so why make a fuss. Sometimes I wonder how real these political figures are with their perfect backgrounds and perfect families, and it makes me wonder how well they really relate to the real American people. Reality is not perfect and I can feel a lot better knowing there is some reality trying to get into the White House. I think real people that had been through real life make a more informed decision in the long run. I have to admit it would be really nice to have a politician that isn't perfect.....I gotta admit it would be endearing to have them sneeze, or burp, or heaven forbid pass gas just like the rest of us.
