| September 1, 2008 Dems offer mixed reaction to Palin for VP
|
(NECN: Latoyia Edwards, Boston, Mass.) - Delegates who were at the Democrats' convention in Denver last week are back home and reacting to the Republicans' vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.
"I think it says a lot about John McCain's judgment as kind of a shoot from the hip to have met somebody once and talk with them one more time and say, hey, you wanna be vice president? This is getting bizarre," said Massachusetts Senator John Kerry.
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley says "I support women too, but we pick people who believe in the things we believe in."
Union organizers with the Greater Boston Central Labor Council say the race is too close and they cannot take anything for granted.
