Another "simple question"

Have you ever not voted for a presidential candidate because of the person they picked as VP? If so who was the presidential candidate, and was the VP?

I know I never have and never would because it's the person who will be the president I vote for, not the the VP.

But I know several republican friends and relatives who could not vote for McCain because of Palin.

But if the Democrats ever scrape the bottom of the barrel for someone like Palin, then I would have second thoughts.

inclusion on the ticket tested my resolve.

I know people who voted for Nader and who listed Lieberman as one of the top reasons.

Also, I know Republicans who stayed home because they were embarassed by Palin.
