Sarah Palin gaining McCain Votes?

Has McCain's choice of vice president gained him more votes than it has cost him? Yes. While the democrat's are screaming her faults many republican's feel much more comfortable about casting their vote for McCain with Palin on his team. The main reason Palin has swayed the public to favor McCain is her conservative views. Since McCain is such a liberal republican he did not have the support of many conservative republicans. Sarah Palin changed that. Many voters have deemed Sarah Palin unqualified for vice presidency yet many republicans approve of her more conservative views saying they help even out McCain's more liberal stand. While not as experienced as most candidates for the vice presidency, Sarah Palin has won the hearts of many. Sarah Palin has racked up votes just for being a young woman. Also her strong religious views along with her pro-life views have gained McCain strong support from the Christian community that he otherwise wouldn't have had. Sarah Palin has softened McCain's campaign relating to the average American citizen. Without Palin McCain did not have the strong republican base that he now has.

Sarah Palin has opened the door for opportunity and evened the playing field. Palin is in her forties while McCain is in his seventies. Palin is a female while McCain is a male. Palin is conservative while McCain is liberal. All these things have gained a wider spectrum of voters for the McCain team. While some voters are concerned with the prospect of Sarah Palin becoming President of the United States in the event of McCain's death some conservatives would rather have her as the leader of this country.
