People in Michigan and other states will go for the repubs because Palin plays hockey and people in those states are huge hockey fans. Well I am a huge Flyers fan but would not vote for Dave the Hammer Schultz or Bobby Clarke just because I like hockey.

Of course I know these people are "talking heads" on the news but it is really very sad if people vote based on race, sex, hockey, having 5 kids etc.
How true, my mom voted for Bill Clinton for one reason, she said he was handsome.

Could energy (i.e. oil) have been a factor in the VP choice esp. with high energy costs. Alaska = OIL. Comments?

His fathers is long dead though....

I don't vote based on gender, race, creed...I vote on issues. So I hope most women will too. AND there are a lot of self-hating women out there who don't care for other women - so this could be dandy.

He could say. Well we put the experienced old guy in the #1 slot and newbie in the #2 slot instead of the other way around.
Won't work - especially when his age is a big concern to many voters.
