On the topic on if McCain dies and Palin becomes President of the United States of America
On Larry King tonight, they had a spokeswoman for the McCain campaign, or one of his surrogates.

Larry asked "Was Sarah Palin the most qualified pick to be Commander in Chief among the GOP" and this woman just couldn't answer yes or no. She tried to change the subject and Larry kept asking her the question over and over. Then she says "She is very qualified to be Vice President."

That blew my mind! Since when were there different qualifications to be VP. A VP MUST be extremely qualified to be the PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A.. You don't qualify for Vice President. The Vice President has to be someone who is ready to take over the country in the.... very likely case.... that the President, if it were McCain, dies.

It's just like these people to try dodge questions like this, but unfortunately that's how they play the game, time and again. I'm frankly scared of the possibility of this hockey mom being in charge of this country, in charge of the economic and foreign security. It just makes me scared as hell that there will be Wal-Marts erected in every city that does not yet have one.

1. Schuster or someone just asked the same thing. It's an excellent talking point.

"Why did you pick this noob when there are much more qualified people?"

3. Some tool on Hardball said pretty much the same thing,
"She's running for VP , not President" Well, duh, what is the most important duty of the Veep if not to "inquire after the health of the President"

I'm scared, too. I sincerely hope the low info voters in this country are not as stupid as George McSame thinks they are.

4. Just how long do you think it would take an adversary to "test" her if something happens to McAss?

And if that test comes, who would rather be tested, Hockey Mom or Joe Biden?

5. That woman made me homicidal. What an imbecile, ignoring the question and spouting her
Republican dogma like a robot. And then, the fake smile, fixed in place.
ARGGGGHH!!!!#$%^%$#@#!!
