What do you think about McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on August 30, 2008
“She sounds good to me. I think he's doing something smart by picking someone who is really pretty different from him politically and also by picking a woman. I think it will be good for his campaign.”
— Brett Johnston, Kansas University freshman, Leavenworth
“I think it's interesting that he picked a woman to run with. Honestly, I don't know anything about her other than that she's the governor of Alaska. But it's certainly not going to change my vote for Obama.”
— Emily Herold, KU junior, Kansas City, Mo.
“Well, it's an interesting selection. I don't know anything about Sarah Palin, but I personally don't think it's likely to sway many woman voters towards their ticket based solely on her being a female candidate.”
— Amanda Houser, attorney, Lawrence
“I think it's curious and calculated.”
— Jeff Moyers, wine broker, Chicago
