I answered your question to the best of my ability - I think that it would be a step backward for ALL Americans. I believe that the current Republican candidate and his running mate would simply be a continuation of the failed policies of the current administration. In all good conscience, I can't vote for anyone will is not committed to ending what I feel is an unjust war. I can't vote for someone who calls himself a maverick, and yet whose ideals are not very different from President Bush's. I can't vote for any candidate who is committed to overturning Roe v. Wade.

Those are personal choices that I make in voting. It has nothing to do with who Sarah Palin is as a person. I don't think it would be any different if it was McCain/Romney on the ticket. I think it simply would have been more of the same.
