I’m curious, do you think McCain will gain significant puma (which I’m assuming you are, given your tagline and posting history) votes in the election if, and only if, he picks a female VP?
No. Only Sarah Palin has the potential to sway enough female PUMAs at the same time exciting the republican base, and satisfying the independent voters’ desire of seeking a reformer, a different direction etc.
Sarah Palin is a perfect VP under current circumstances. All the other names such as Romney, Lieberman etc are extremely boring, old... It only reinforces GOP’s the same old, same old image. If McCain goes this path, he’ll lose by a decent margin even though Obama is a radical.
I don’t believe other female VP will be able to save mccain. The other female possibilities are very boring.
