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.

Her daughter gave birth to a son with down syndrome. She pretended she was pregnant to hide the fact that such a holy roller actually had a pregnant teenage daughter.

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.

Lincoln was a republican mass murderer....just like George W. Bush and his clone John McCain.

Now Radar, none of this antebellum, 'ain't nothing wrong with slavery' nonsense. If I were in the south in 1864, I'll join the Union and try to kill every slave owner myself.

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.
