Remember when the Republicans picked Clarence Thomas because he was black, but he had no decent qualifications? This reminds me of that.
What's the population of Alaska? Half a million? This is like picking the county board chairman of Arlington County to be your VP. |

People don't vote for the VP, anyway. They vote for the presidential nominee. The VP is just along for the ride unless the press or the opposition find some egregious thing in his/her background.

Well, she certainly can't be presented as elitist - she eats mooseburgers and her husband is a commercial fisherman. Apparently, he races snowmobiles too. Her oldest son just entered the military and she just gave birth to a son with Down's Syndrome this year.
Heh, truly unimportant bits of info, but funny to me.

It's like people are voting on comic book characters.

Nah, they're politicians. Well thought out comic book characters have some depth and integrity.

It is comic book characters. We have a black superman and a white female superhero. Pretty interesting stuff.

Maybe we should get them on one ticket. How many years can McCain last in the White House? She is important and I find her lack of connections/experience refreshing. Someone was comparing Obama to Lincoln because their governmental experience levels are virtually identical... of course Lincoln got 640,000 of his fellow citizens killed... maybe experience is meaningful.

Sure, her bio is impressive on the local government level. She's certainly qualified to be a governor of a small state like Alaska. But President?
McCain is in his 70s. There's a real possibility he won't make it through a 4 year term. Is she ready to be President? |

Anything would be an improvement over the last 8 years. Yea, I think Gov's are better suited than Senators to do the job.

Ahhh, there's the rub. I'm looking at anything involving McCain, from himself to the people he surrounds himself with, as being exactly like the last 8 years.
