I'm not the one making personal accusations here Vienna. Many people believe that Palin did actually say that. You are just perpetuating it and since apparently you know better then it can be seen as a deliberate perpetuation not a joke like you are now trying to claim.

For the record I think Palin was a very poor choice for Veep for a lot of reasons but at least she had some executive experience. Biden has none and neither did Obama and I think that shows in the poor job the latter has done since he got into the oval office. Biden however, being also a moron, would be far worse. Hopefully Obama will choose a different running mate for his next term.

On the other hand would McCain have done any better? I think probably not. The only leadership experience he has is from the military and even that is pretty thin. His biggest liability however would have been his temper. Not the type of person to have their finger on The Button imo.
