“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
