I know so many people from both political sides who are not only computer illiterate, they CHOOSE not to use computers. These are the same people who understand the value in a phone call, a hand-written note, an in-your-face visit, or a hug. You can use those funny characters to try to do all of those (and yes, I know you can use a computer to make a phone call because I've done it), but there is a very large group of voting age people who see McCain as "like them" in this respect, and they feel good about that.
There is a large group of people who see his military record as something to be proud of, including every single Viet Nam veteran who returned to this country to face the outburst of hate from the anti-war crowd. Who cares if they were doing their legal duty, right? Well, those vets care. And they see McCain as "like them" and proud of it.
There is an equally large group of people who wish the hot button issues of abortion and gun control and the other social issues would be taken right off the table. One person cannot change those issues, in any direction. The issue of my having or not having a gun or an abortion will not protect this country from attacks by other countries. The issue of sexual preferences - whether I agree with those preferences or not - will not build that fence. This large group - and most likely many others - believe that the job of a president is to protect and defend this country and the job of a vice president is to support the president and be ready to take over if needed. Palin may not have as much experience as McCain (although she has more than Obama, definitely), but she will have 4 years to learn, on the job.
How is this so difficult to understand?
