Do people think these people were chosen solely because of their qualities (the vice president nominees), or was there a bit of planning behind it?
It would be unfortunate if it is more staged to attract appeal rather than eminate as a strong and capable leader. Only shows the US to be more interested in fantasies than realities.

Obama's choice in VP was obvious, and not surprising.
McCain's was a clear reaction to that. Is that how VPs should be chosen? In his own words he said the first priority of choosing a VP is someone who is ready to take over as President. Sarah Palin is not that person. It is clear she wasn't vetted at all, and was a rash decision.
