John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as running mate is the towering example of his poor judgment. Palin's ignorance of public affairs is monumental.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To bolster his right flank and attract women voters, John McCain had cynically opted for a running mate who was, by any stretch of the imagination, unqualified for a position a heartbeat away from the presidency.
If both John McCain and Obama were given a sip of truth serum, both would admit they made serious mistakes in choosing running mates in 2008.
Characteristics of a popular politician: a horrible voice, bad breeding, and a vulgar manner.
Any politician in a democracy has to be mindful of public opinion.
Well I think that, if you want to look at polarizing people right now, I wouldn't look at Palin, I'd look at Barack Obama.
I can't stand John McCain.
I like John McCain. He can always be counted on for a good quote.
Natural Texas politicians make terrible, terrible presidential candidates. Phil Gramm, I remember the 'Phil Gramm for President' campaign. I thought that was the worst thing in the history of the world, but Rick Perry was possibly worse.
I know Gov. Palin is a classy lady and has her head on straight.
In choosing Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has chosen for the future.
