New Poll/Results: Palin and Afghanistan

This week, we want to know if John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate was a good choice, but first, the results from our last poll.

In our last poll, we asked you what the appropriate response to Russia’s invasion of Georgia is. 41% of you said diplomatic pressure was the right course, and 35% of you said we shouldn’t do anything. Not surprisingly, only 7% of you were for international military intervention, with only 4% for unilateral intervention. 14% of you said UN sanctions were appropriate.

This week, we want you to weigh in on McCain’s gamble. By choosing Sarah Palin, he’s chosen an extremely inexperienced and scandle-ridden candidate, but one who might play very well with certain demographics like women and social conservatives. So, was Sarah Palin a good pick for McCain? Or does it show arrogance, rashness, and lack of judgement? Voting begins now in the sidebar at your left.
