Republican presidential candidate John McCain has chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate. Do you think it was a wise choice? How will it help or hurt him in his bid for the nation's top office?

"I think it was a wise choice and I think it will help a lot." CELESTE NASH CNA "I think it was a good decision that he chose a woman, based on that a woman was running for presidency. To have a woman in your shadow, . . . . there is moral support there with the issues she faces with her sick baby, her grandbaby, and underage pregnancy. No, they tend to relate more now to one another and what she has done, and what she is going to do for the people, too -- if she makes it with the class." CAREEN CORRELL Unemployed "I think it will help him in his bid for the nation's top office and especially with the women" THOMAS ROTH Retired "I just think she's a really nice person and business-like and I think she will help him in being vice-president."
