[King Glorious]

I already respected McCain before today. I respect him a little bit more after tonight.

I want to ask what may come as a silly question to some but something I'm curious about. What do you think would have happened had McCain offered the vice-president position to Hillary Clinton? There's probably a 99% chance she would have said no. There's probably a 99% chance that McCain would have prayed she would say no. But what would it have done for his public perception to at least have offered it to her? I'm sure a lot of people would have questioned the sincerity of the move and rightfully so. But I believe there are also plenty that would have thought it was a very bold move and it's my belief that it would have brought him more votes than adding Sarah Palin ended up costing him. I know it's something that was probably discussed at length on here but I never ventured to the threads so I don't know what was said but I think that if I was a woman, I would have been insulted when he pulled Palin's name out of nowhere. It was an obvious ploy to get the women voters that were disappointed by Clinton losing to Obama and I think it was an insult to think he could just pick any woman and that would make them happy. But what if he had offered it to Clinton? He would have been reaching across gender and party lines and I think a lot of people would have been impressed that not only was he saying he would work with the other side of the aisle but now he was proving it.

I don't know. Maybe it's just a crazy thought but I wonder what some of you others might have thought about it had he done it?
