Sure, go on believing that.

The choice of VP has to be prepared for the Presidency on day 1. I'm sure thats written somwhere and you can look up the details of the vice presidents position and duties in the event of something unthinkable happening to the Prez. If Obama isn't qualified, then Palin sure isn't. You Repubs love having your cake and eating it too. Sad part is, most of the time, you get it....

yeah ok. Nice try at dodging the question. Bottom line here is that if you're right then we have a problem only if the "unthinkable" happens, whereas with your candidate we have a problem the second he sits his butt down in the oval office, but to you there's no difference, right?

Yeah, this isnt worthy of a response beacause it's incredibly nanny nanny boo boo childish

I know it wasn't but I gave you the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't your intention to come off like that. Perhaps i was wrong. "nanny nanny boo boo"?

but you are correct, August. But I was referring the the Vice Presidency, which I beleive holds an office somwhere in the WH, and frankly, you knew that, so grow up. Oh, and lets not overlook the fact that you completely avoided the point. The Repubs now beleive that they should back Palin based on one speech. One speech.

If you seriously think that's all there was to it then i have a bridge i'd like to sell you.

However, Obama's thousands of speeches, 2 books, debates etc don't qualify him for anything.

Actually the "thousands" (more like dozens) of speeches, 2 books and debates, etc have yet to show he is qualified to do anything other than blather about "change". There's no substance to the man. The Dems have nominated an empty suit and I think that will become apparent to the nation once the presidential debates start.

It's republican hypocrisy at its finest. Given the fact the the McCain team is all but hiding this woman from the media, I don't think its a stretch to say that she can appeal to the base while shes shouting pre prepared lines carefully written by staffers from the safety of a friendly convention podium, but is such a light weight, they won't put here near a microphone or in front of a press conference without having filled her with enough party line nonsense, rhetoric and talking points to satisfy them. McCain's campaign is hoping politics work with this VP pick. They can't rely on her having any substance of her own. If they could, she'd be talking. She ain't.

Well see, but i'm betting the VP debates will prove you wrong. Still, it's only the VP whereas your lightweight is trying to get elected to President.

I'll ignore the sheer stupidity of suggesting I'm a bigot, but if you think the voters shouldn't consider who would be running the country should the unthinkable happen, then you vote with your heart, and not your mind. It's a worthy thing to consider, and doesn't make anyone a bigot. Maybe next you'll say you dont want to see a black man in the White House. I don't know or think that you will, but while we're making dumb assumptions....

I'm not suggesting anything. The Dems have been displaying age bigotry ever since McCain won the nomination and their tactics so far against Palin are pure sexism. Personally I hope they keep alienating old people and women who after all are two of the largest voter groups in American politics.

I know this may sound like an incredibly bizarre concept to you, but I heard the speeches and reactions frpm Republicans on the floor of the convention while I drove accross the country over the laast few days, and I formulated this position and opinion all on my own, without the help of a talk show host. Incredible, eh?

So now you're claiming to be more perceptive than the entire American media? Maybe the Dems should have nominated you then.

PS - Excuse the bad spelling and punctuation errors. They have MAC's in this here hotel, and I'm MAC disabled. Ha.

Who isn't?
