“To be honest, I haven’t been paying much attention because I won’t be voting. I just turned 18, and I don’t really have a lot of interest in any of it.”
— Samantha Fanchur, sales, East Meredith

“I think it was a wise choice for him to choose a female as a running mate. I think we need a girl in office, and I didn’t like Hillary Clinton. Not that I think he will, but John Mc- Cain is older and if he died while in office, we would have an experienced governor with a big family as our first female president.”
— Jasmine Clark, student, Davenport

“I think she will be able to bring in the ideas and the views of a younger generation, while McCain can capture the interest of the older population.”
— Pat Teter, retired, Franklin

“I’m not even interested in this election. Maybe it’s because I’m not of voting age yet so I can’t participate in it, but I don’t really have any feelings on the matter.”
— Renee Ruiz, student, Davenport

“I think it was sort of a random choice on McCain’s part. I mean, besides being of the same party, do they have any relation to each other’s political backgrounds at all? Personally, I think it’s going to make women more spiteful toward him for using a woman to get their vote.”
— Robert Meadows, kitchen staff, Milford

“Well, I’m a Republican and I think it was a good choice. Looking at her background, she’s done some productive things as governor of Alaska.”
— Tyrell Rogers, professional cleaner, Oneonta
