    Playing the 'woman' card huh..... that won't help him at all.

    If he wants to win he needs a better card to play than that...


    ... oh wait.. people are idiots so it might help him.

    Well lets see how this plays out since she pretty much fits the mold of Clinton's base of woman voters "Soccer Moms" if McCain uses her right she could sway them away from Obama.


    She is still under investigation tho far as I know...

    I don't think he's playing out in terms of the female voters, I think now it's in terms who he thinks would be better. Which is basically him saying "hehe, i got this election on lockdown".

    To people who really know politics, this is a great choice. She is reform-minded, making McCain better overall. But to everyone else, they are gonna go "omfg, a gurl as vice president! vote for him, now!"

    Your post should have ended right there.

    Who cares if she's a real Republican, a life-time member of the NRA, and happens to be pro-life? Not I, good sirs.

    I guess it makes since that he choose a female, there are two large areas the candidates need to focus on, woman voters and Evangelical people. It can be assumed that this will help McCain pull in a large amount of those undecided female voters and even some of Hillary's old. AND this will probably put him closer to the Republican base of Evangelical Christians who wanted someone pro life, which McCain isn't (he is both pro choice and pro life, depending if we are before or after a commercial)
    Sucks IMO, will be much harder for the Democrats to win, we are going to get an even more stacked supreme court and more distance between us and other countries who allow stem cell, cloning and other next generation technological advances that will put countries on the top.

    I was quite suprised (so much so that I spelled surprised wrong! *Notice no edit*).

    Kinda interesting either way now, minority president or female vice president.

    I was going to put that pic, but then I saw a comment where the dude said that's the Overstock.com lady, so I wasn't sure. Either way.
