VIDEO:  Philly Women on Palin
 
 
McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his Vice-Presidential running mate has prompted strong and varied reactions across the country, particularly among women. This week I asked some Philadelphia women what they thought of McCain's pick. Philly's solid Democratic majority definitely showed through in the responses I received.

This is so biased, and very bad reporting!! Palin is a great candidate for Vice President, and that's why everyone is STILL talking about her. The report obvviously sought out the liberal loudmouths... VOTE FOR MCCAIN/PALIN in November!!!!

Governor Palin will self-destruct by the end of September/ the First week of October tops!!! No substance, no specifics, hasn't met any world leaders. I believe she received 616 votes her first term as mayor of Wasilla and around 920 votes her second term. The city hall looks like a doll house. Come'on are we seriously going to debate this!!!!!

I don't agree with a majority of this video. I believe it was a very smart decision on McCain's part to choose Sarah Palin as a running mate. I have supported John McCain from the beginning, and Palin has even strengthened my support. They will be an amazing team. My boyfriend is in the United States Military and if he gets sent overseas or if there is even war within our country, McCain and Palin are the one's I want in command. So that he, along with the rest of our troops will be safe. Since when does a country that is at war elect a President with zero combat expierence? How does he know what our American Soldiars are going through? Vote McCain/Palin!
