All About McCain

So why are many people seeming to base their vote on the VP? I think there are several reasons

1. The primary season was very long and packed to the brim with candidates and the supporters of the candidates that lost had a bitter taste of their nominee in their mouth. The Democratic Primary season was long and bitter. Over in the GOP the least popular candidate beforehand ended up winning by default

2. Good, bad, or indifferent voting for a 3rd party Presidential candidate is now seen as a wasted vote and people were looking for an excuse to vote for either of the major parties.

3. It's very politically incorrect but no Senator who has been elected President has ever survived office (from various causes). With two Senators running against each other looking and even basing your decision on the VP makes a little more sense than usual in a morbid sort of way.
