I'd still vote for McCain....but with a of a lot less enthusiasm.
The local police and the voting personnel would be arm-less so he'd be able to waltz in there with you.

Nader.
He then grabs your arms . . .
And carves a backwards 'B' on my cheek?
I would not vote for either. Palin's non-physical iden y is enough to melt away any remaining support I have for Obama, and Biden would make me even more against voting for McCain, so there you have it. Don't get me wrong--I'd still J it to Palin exactly as many times as I have so far to date. I mean--don't get me wrong. It's not about that. But as far as the President vote goes, I'd write in CBF.
With the sharpened tip of your humerus.
We would all have a different impression of Palin if Obama selected her to be his VP. Ultimately, though, I think it would seem gimmicky to a lot of voters, and McCain's selection would appear to be more of a true bi-partisan move. I'd probably still vote for Obama but I think McCain would win in a landslide, even though Palin would not be quite the national laughing stock she is today.
Uh, no.
Well, I still couldn't vote, but I would think McCain wins in a landslide. All the good things that Obama brings to the table, like being well spoken, knowledgeable, calm, thoughtful, etc are completely undone by Palin, who happens to be the exact opposite. Not to mention that people would start doing what they're doing with McCain now, questioning his judgement.
The Palin pick has to be the worst pick I remember (and granted, I might not have a lot of elections to look back to compared to other posters here). I just really, really hope McCain loses badly next Tuesday, so this sends a message that we want more than a hockey mom spouting maverick to represent our country.
Obama loses in a landslide.
I would vote for neither candidate. If Obama picked Palin it would negate just about all the reasons I am voting for him in the first place.
I chose undecided.
As of right now, it's McCain or no one.
Even if Obama chose Palin, I still wouldn't vote for him.
I don't trust all 4 of them so it wouldn't matter one iota.
Lame. Show some of that Victorian pride and take a stand.
Oops, I voted wrong. I suppose hyopthetically, I'd switch from Obama to McCain because this scenario would indicate McCain was not the pandering bag he has turned out to be, and in that case McCain/Biden might be a decent combo, albeit really old. Obama/Palin is a completely ridiculous ticket to conceive of, since they are so ideologically different, and I could never support Obama if he showed such poor judgment and did something like that.
I blame my wrong vote on the ridiculous hour in the morning it is.
Couldn't vote on this, because I don't know. It definitely would have thrown my vote for Obama into serious question. I probably just wouldn't vote at that point.
A McCain/Biden ticket would hammer away at the complete inexperience of an Obama/Palin ticket, and win in a landslide.
Exactly. This would have reinforced his stance that he does think outside the box and it would be real change, I mean as much as two old white guys with 50 years of Washington politics could.
Then there would be no change in my preference. McCain would have gotten my vote if he had selected Lieberman or the governor from Arkansas? Cant remember who McCain wanted...it was Lieberman and someone else.....goddamnit.
Anyway, yeah, McCain would have gotten my vote with any experienced candidate from either side of the aisle or independant.
It was really that easy. I cant believe I am about to cast a vote that gives one party all the power, thats how much Palin pisses me off as a VP pick.
I'm not saying we'd all reverse our opinion of her 180 degrees... some would more than others, and many people would still think she's a moron and underqualified. But all of our opinions have been shaped in some way by the coverage of Palin. And before you say I'm blaming the media for being unfair or partisan about Palin, I'm absolutely not. I'm acknowledging that our exposure to Palin in this alternate scenario would be very different, and I'm acknowledging that this would alter our perception of her to some degree.
If Obama selects Palin, she's generally a hero to the Left and a traitor to the Right. Palin scandal is broken daily on the Drudge Report, while Palin puff pieces run on Extra and Us Weekly. Palin gets tough questions from O'Reilly and probably more softballs from Couric. She'd be memorizing Democrat talking points instead of Republican talking points. She'd be answering questions about how her views differ from Obama rather than from McCain, and she'd probably be keeping some of her more extreme conservative views to herself. The Todd Palin separatist scandal gets more play with conservatives and Palin is called anti-American. Black man/white woman jokes. Try to imagine it all. Can you really say our opinions wouldn't be somewhat skewed in such a vastly different universe?
But ultimately, I think the selection of Biden by McCain would cause a lot more Hillary Democrats to vote for the McCain ticket... partly because of Biden, but also because they would be even more insensed by Obama selecting Palin instead of Hillary, which would be much more insulting than Biden over Hillary.
First part fo your post, I dont agree with.
This last part...
It's true though. My feelings towards Obama have always been lukewarm at best.....It's just that McCain is so damn wrong for this cycle. And I doubt you need me to vote considering the outcome of this poll is most likely exactly how you predicted it would be.
Don't let the fact that Palin's got more experience running governments than Obama, Biden or McCain get in the way of a bad opinion...whatever you do.
