The Palin issue is not about her kids, it is about the fact that McCain & the republicans are

willing to do anything, anything to get elected. Remember, how upset they got when Obama did not pick Hillary. Of course, they wanted her on the ticket but she was qualified, unlike Palin.

Mccain's base and party was completely demoralized, they saw Palin as a way to raise money which she has, millions and a way to energize their right wing and conservative base; which she has. As far as Hillary voters, they are not going to buy this and it is insulting that they would vote for a woman only because she is a woman. You would think McCain would know that. Maybe some of the PUMA's and other stragglers but not Hillary's base voters.

In other words, what is more important to them, our country or McCain winning an election.

I thought John McCain said he would rather lose an election than lose a war. Evidently that is not exactly true.

The VP choice is a candidate's first decision and it is of utmost importance as the VP is only a heartbeat away from the presidency and you have a 72 y/o man with cancer and god forbid, the possibility of her becoming president is very possible.

Barack puts country first, not elections.
