Well whatever people say, for McCain being so close to Obama in Polls it's a success, everyone expected Democrats Landslide in November, yet it's gonna be close.
@NJ5 , Republicans needed someone like palin to secure support that Gave Bush Victory in 2000 and 2004. But McCain is a different story then Bush and people are not voting for Palin to become president, but a VP with very limited powers. |
McCain is 72 years old and had cancer twice. Seems to me that Palin is not unlikely to become President.
Even if we ignore that, it's still quite amusing that Palin would have this effect in the polls.

I could be wrong but I suspect that the imapact was so large because a large portion of 'undecided' voters where conservative-Republicans (who were really unhappy with John McCain being the candidate) and the announcement of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate (really) excited these voters without scaring McCain's current base.

That definitely makes sense. I just hope that a significant part of McCain's base gets informed about Palin and realises how dangerous this woman is if she becomes president. Let's face it, some of the information about this woman's actions and opinions is downright scary.

The same can be said about both Obama and Biden ...
In fact, I think there is even more of a risk of Obama and Biden taking the country in an extreme direction because (with the house and senate being controlled by Democrats) they will be entirely unopposed.
