READER POLL

Has John McCain's selection of Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate improved or hurt his chances of being elected president?

	Improved his chances. The GOP did what the Dems couldn't: Put a woman on the ticket.
	Improved his chances. Her executive experience shores up his credentials.
	Hurt his chances. It was a weak attempt to lure Hillary supporters. But women aren't that shallow.
	It didn't affect his chances at all. He would win the White House regardless of his VP pick.
