Re: MCCAIN PICKS GOV.SARAH PALIN....YES A WOMEN
On a side note, there is no way that McCain could have picked a black VP, it would have really hurt the party. Why? Only about 10% of blacks vote Republican and the Repubs have pretty much abandoned hope of an increase among blacks, besides they turn out less than any other racial group on election day.
The Republicans instead have looked at the census numbers and are garnering support of the Hispanic population, which I believe they got 30% support from last election. They know that the first time they choose a minority, if the minority is not Hispanic they will alienate a lot of Hispanic voters. The Repubs will have a Hispanic on the ticket either 4 or 8 years from now (probably Mel Martinez)
