Alright now folks, it was fun while it lasted. We’ve been nicely entertained and humored by John McCain. Sarah Palin did a good job tonight with what limited information she had, and was able to cram in such a short time about what it takes or means to be VPOTUS. She did a good job of distancing herself from the Sarah Palin of the Gibson/Couric doe-in-the headlights interviews. But… This is serious business now. We have a decision to make. We must choose a President and Vice-President. Kay Bailey Hutchison would have made a terrific running mate for John McCain since he wanted a woman as VP. McCain/Hutchison would be leading this race at this point. It would have been closer and Obama/Biden would have had a steeper hill to climb. Can we all agree now that Sarah Palin was a serious blunder for John Sydney McCain? McCain is finished. ---

[Moderator Hat ON] Ok, we have the McCain forked and Michigan-withdrawal-is-McCain-forked thread already, I don’t think we need another on essentially the same topic. Please post comments in either one of those two threads. [Moderator Hat OFF]
