McCain considers Female VP

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.

Would you say the same thing if McCain had said, "You know, Obama doesn't look like Presidents we've had in the past!" That McCain wouldn't be using the "race card" with a comment like that?

Well, it's after the fact now, so of course an Obama supporter would, right?

"I love ya still~~ BTW!"

LOL...Back atcha woman! :)

I can honestly (even though it's after the fact) say that he would be pointing out a FACT. As long as he didn't say, "this black man thinks he could be one of us". I would be fine with it,really.

We all know that if McCain had pointed that out.. he'd be called a racist.


Yes, he is black .. and he made sure to remind us ..even though we can clearly see it. It would be OK if hadn't mentioned it like 3 times already... trying to hammer that point home.

If not a racist, then...well, I don't know what Geraldine Ferraro was "called"...but she certainly was removed from HRCs campaign for similar remarks (which, BTW, I agree was the appropriate action - which is EXACTLY why this has me fired up!)
