“Should she have refused the call to serve her country because it may not have been politically sound for her?”
She was / is already serving her country as Governor of Alaska. She was under no obligation to accept McCain’s offer. He made it as a compromise in the first place, thinking he’d gain the womens’ vote, thinking he’d lock up the Christian and Catholic votes automatically. Both of them were compromisers, he by offering it to her, she by accepting. Then she proceeded to transform herself into McCain’s puppet. She even began to sound like him! The bloom was coming off the rose already for some of us thinking conservatives.
Well it's nice to see you are not delving into personal attacks or snide remarks. /sarc
“He made it as a compromise in the first place, thinking he’d gain the womens’ vote, thinking he’d lock up the Christian and Catholic votes automatically.”
Though the womens vote was a factor, he was already doing pretty well with Christians after his performance at the debate in Orange County moderated by Rick Warren.
BTW, all VP’s are chosen for what they can bring to the ticket LOL!
