and yes....she will get votes

That will definitely speak against these voters. If this is "the best candidate for presidential elections in the future", then God himself obviously already has turned his back on his very own country, and have rent it to his old buddy Lucifer to sack some additional fun-cash. Having voted for Bush the first time, eventually could be forgiven for reasons of not seen him in office before. having voted for him a second term, falls back on those who did so. after Bush running twice, now voting for a combo including Palin - is unforgivable. It will rightfully earn shame, mockery and laughter, well-deserved. The Us will alienate former friends and allies even more than it already did over the past years. with an economy in decline and the end of the American economic and financial domination in the world having begun with the current crisis (nothing different it means, if only you read the signs correctly), and other powers (India, China, Brazil, also Russia, EU) standing ready to take over and seal the end of the american empire, this maybe is not the most clever move to secure one's own place in the future world that will shape in the next 2-5 decades - world in which america will no longer be the dominant leading power anymore, but will be just one player amongst several others, and will eventually suffer payback from all those it did push too much in the years when it was the strong leader in the block.

I foind it amazing that still a majority does not see that the current fincial crisis and tzhe economic crisis following in its wake has most drastic conseqeucnes in strategic shifts on the global stage. sokme peopleseem to think that once it is over sooner or later, the world will be like before, and america continuing where it just had been interrupted. But that is unlikely to the most extreme, 700 billion dollar iad package yes or not. we currently see decisive shifts and breakups in the global structure of financial order. America will not die from this, but it will be the great looser from this over the coming 2-4 decades. It's nothing else but the beginning of the end of the American empire.

To bring, in such grim times, a figure like Palin, and a leader who brought her up, into power, will not produce the good will and sympathy that america now and in the future is depending on, more than ever before. Of course many - especially conservative, but not only these - americans will not like to hear this, since believing in american invulnerability and omnipotence is so much more popular in a country that loves Marvelcomics Superheroes and moralistic zealots like the relgious right, or playacting politicians serving this scheme. but it simply is true - no matter how uncomfortable and unwelcomed the news is.

And I really was naive enough to believe that after Bush it just could become better... spank me for that.

It speaks decisively against McCain, that he has chosen somebody like Palin. Looks and gender is not enough.
