Cassie, do you honestly feel that the ONLY reason McCain picked Sarah Palin is "just because she was a woman". :dontknow:

There were many possible choices for the VP slot, and McCain picked the candidate he felt could best do the job. Perhaps her background as a Governor, and her reputation as an independent free-thinker and high achiever also came into consideration? I am personally delighted he choose a woman. And I don't believe for a second that her gender was the only reason she was choosen!
