“Today no one votes FOR POTUS based on VP running mate.
But they will vote AGAINST based on that mate.”
Interesting; so are you saying that people did not vote for McCain because Palin was his VP pick?
As I recall, there were a lot of people on this forum who wrote that the only reason they voted for McCain was because Palin was his running mate.

But had McCain been unpalatable Palin would not have swayed their vote. Worst case they would not have voted at all as no way would they have voted for gore.
And this is a politically aware board. The average person votes as I said.
Or so I contend.
People wanted to vote for Palin because she was attractive. If you pulled the string on her back, she would say “conservative things.”
Let’s not kid ourselves: the right has its share of shallow, low information voters—just like the left.
