Good or bad choice? I think it was a smart strategic move to choose her, it's obvious why he did. The Republics are becoming more and more worried of Obama's ticket and his theme of "change" so they decided to join them by choosing a female vice president. This will definitely get him more votes, like the Hillary stranglers, but Miss Palin was chosen for the wrong reasons. She is definitely not ready to be President of the United States of America. For McCain to talk down upon Obama's age and experience then to choose Sarah Palin who has close to no foreign policy experience and who is even younger than Barack Obama. I honestly would be frightened if Miss Palin became our President, no offense to her at all but she is just not suited to be a president and that is so obvious it hurts. He is 72 years old and has a list of medical problems associated with him and if anything did happen to him, is Sarah Palin ready to be President? All you conservatives, I know you like her but would you want her to be your Command in Chief. For me this does it, the McCain ticket has no chance of winning this race and has basically handed the Presidency to Obama & Biden who make an excellent team.
