McCain considers Female VP
24
Fri, 08-01-2008 - 8:28am

Sen. John McCain's growing popularity among women is fueling speculation that he will select a female running mate, ripening talk about conservative favorite Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, and former Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Officer Carly Fiorina, one of his top economic advisers.


Political pundits, election strategists and even some Democrats say putting a dynamic woman on the Republican ballot would tip independents, especially the "security moms" who helped President Bush win re-election in 2004.

Interesting but I haven't heard a woman as the top 3 people.

This is the best he can do??? While Sarah Palin has been considered a rising star in the Republican party, and, until recently, had very high job approval ratings, she is currently under investigation for corruption.

Sue I've heard Gov. Tim Pawlenty of MN is also in the running.


Like someone else said, I don't really care about gender, I just want people I feel are qualified and that I can share their stances on issues.

Charlie Crist is the other one, I believe :)

I would be thrilled to see him choose Sarah Palin!

I said it because McCain said Obama was playing the "race card". These guys are funny.
