Cais, why do you hate Palin so much? Seriously. Give it a rest already.
I don't even understand why Palin is getting so much discussion. You'd think she was the Presidential candidate. Vice Presidents are incredibly irrelevant. We could completely dump the office and it would have almost no effect on our country or our political process. People can go on and on with the "McCain is old, blah blah" but the reality is he will most likely be fine and serve out his 4 or 8 years if he wins. Presidents dying in office are exceptionally rare, and unless I am forgetting someone it hasn't happened since FDR (and even then, he had to serve 4 terms for it to happen).
Furthermore, do I really have to post the experience data again? Our best Presidents have had minimal or ZERO experience before becoming President. I don't see why people keep ignoring this.
The sad reality is we are going to end up with a US Senator as a President no matter who wins, and that is a bad thing. We will get a coalition builder and a compromiser instead of a leader.
No matter who wins, we get hosed as a country with a weak, wishy washy person as President. That's not good no matter how you slice it.
