Four years ago, before a little-known governor from Alaska stepped onto the American political stage, Lisa Rigler was a steadfast John McCain supporter. She was a Republican and an Arizonan, so it was a given that she would back the state's senior senator in his bid to become president.
Then McCain introduced his running mate, promising that his pick would help him "shake up" Washington. Sarah Palin would, instead, shake up his campaign and the political landscape of the nation.
But was her selection the "game-changer" so many Americans believed it to be? Does that No. 2 spot on a presidential ticket make any real difference to voters in the long run?

i sure hope so.
Just a few days and the assaults are endless. The Son of God wouldn't suffice.
"Does that No. 2 spot on a presidential ticket make any real difference to voters in the long run?"
Apparently NOT since Joe Biden was elected.
Yes, it does. I was prepared to vote for McCain, and then he picked Palin. This time I really wanted to vote for Romney, but Ryan is too much of a social wingnut for me. So once again, this gal may have to vote democratic.
