Which VP candidate will score for his/her presidential candidate? - MilitaryTimes.com Forums
Are you able to sort through all the "stuff" and get to the real issues?
Will Biden or Palin help his/her candidate win in November?
Have their announcements helped you decide whom you will vote for?

Biden will hurt, since he is more of the "same" politics Obama claims that he will change.
Not setting a very good example.
Hes sarcastic, a womanizer who claims to stand up for women's rights.
Hes been earning a steady government income for 2 years longer than McCain so he is quite out of touch with the common man.
Palin will help, since it will strengthen his base in the conservative community who were considering NOT voting at all (Im one of them).
He made a good decision, if he wanted to make an even better one, he should have made her the presidential nominee.
The woman can be a mayor/governor and raise a family of 5, she can call out politicians regardless of party affiliation.
Once more she sticks to her guns.
In essence this is what the fore fathers wanted out of a president.
Thats why they separated Congress and the Executive branch.

You have got to be kidding me.
Palin is a waste and i for one would not want her near the white house, except maybe visiting when the democrats win.
And as far as biden not setting a good example....where have you been the past 8 years?
Living in crawford texas doing the presidents laundry!?
You really need to wise up and look at what is going on in the world today and stop reading the script the president write for you.

Palin is more of a "normal American" and will do Washington good;
She also brings real "change" unlike Obama.
I previously chose McCain, the lesser of two evils philosophy, but Palin really makes me feel more comfortable.
McCain also shows he really is moving to change Washington by getting someone outside Washington and known for challenging her own party.
I really believe these two are independent thinkers and are not puppets like Obama is.
Obama claims change but has the same old Washington insiders around and supporting him.
Biden said he would never accept a VP slot and showed more support for McCain than Obama during the primaries.
Even Hillary showed more support for McCain than Obama.
He is nothing but a puppet with a new face with a new slogan for the same old Washington insiders.
And now he claims he is more qualified to be President than Palin because he ran for president (managed his campaign).
Are you serious, well I guess we could all run for President and by managing a campaign staff that makes us more qualified…
I believe the nation would lose international credibility with a president named Barack Hussein Obama...
Who’s next? Osama?
He is a well known "celebrity" too...

I think I'll not take advice from someone who writes like they're enjoying their third year of fifth grade.
Back OT, Palin seems like a good choice;
I like the fact that she's not just another Washington insider, and she's not afraid to have an opinion.
Biden, on the other hand...the DNC and Obama's campaigners dropped the ball.
As someone else said, for a campaign that's had "change" as it's mantra all along to choose a rich, old, white, career politician - and one with scandals in his past, too - is surprising.

I think they both made decent choices.
The suprise of Palin I think will do more to boost McCain than Biden does for Obama though.
Now the McCain/Palin ticket has two people with their own opinions...which is a real change...and they seem to be a good balance.
Biden is predictable...I don't think he adds much to Obama and would most likely be a real backseat VP, I think.

Just when I think the candidates can't get any more disappointing, they both go and nominate VPs who are equally, if not more disappointing.
Of the four, I suppose I dislike Biden the least.
But being disliked the least isn't really much of a complement.

I guess this does make me smarter than a fifth grader?

Initial reaction certainly doesn't equal long term gains.
However, just look at what the nominations did for the energy of their respective parties.
I haven't seen the Republican supporters this energized and fired-up since campaigning began.
The Democratic supporters seemed indifferent at best and deflated at worst with Biden's nomination.
Palin's nomination is pulling people off the sidelines to vote, Biden's simply isn't.

Thats because a lot of the people who were on the sidelines had been benched by the GOP from the McCain selection.
