What if he had chosen someone who knew a lot about the economy?

But when I wrote that, I was thinking more about the poll numbers which show Palin is disliked by more than half of republicans. This means Palin wasn't a good choice, doesn't it?

 

 

How many Democrats really "Like" Hillary Clinton?
If Democrats actually were told what Joe Bidon stood for how many would "Like" him?

Being a successful politician is rarely about being liked, they typically only have to have enough support from their part to win a nomination and then they have to be respected enough to get a decent voter turnout.

I don't really think that having a running mate with a better ecconomic background would have helped McCain that much; people were upset with him not because of his policies or understanding, but they were upset with his inability to respond to their desires.

Personally, I think Bobby Jindal might have been a better choice but that is another topic entirely.
