I didn't watch the vid, but I'm guessing it's not a compare/contrast of the two candidates showing a 10/1 ratio, is it?

Another statement that applies to both candidates.

Palin's another Reagan in the making. I'm not sure the planet can cope with two of those in the same lifetime.

Family history and health status not withstanding if a male today makes it to 65 he has a 50% chance to live to 85 and if he makes it to 85 he has a 25% chance to live to 95. Them's the facts, the longer you live the longer you live.

There is no question that Palin was picked mainly for gaining selective group votes and apparently with little forethought beyond that, but what's new; no politician is capable of planning beyond the next election otherwise we would not have the problems we do, but the real blame lies with the people who vote based on what they want to hear not the facts or the truth, tell people the truth and you don't get elected..

What's in it for me, plain and simple.

The reason I didn't include McCain in the lack of experience category is because of his military command experience. Other than that he's just like the other two. I can only hope we aren't doomed.

While experience was an issue, now the problem is age....McCain is 72. His father only lived to be 70. Life expectancy for U.S. males is 76.

Sarah Palin hands down, over Joe Biden any day of the week. I know Sarah Palin knows which end of the weapon to point at the enemy. And she has a reputation for being a barracuda. Fine by me.

Joe Biden is a career politician who didn’t stop the war in Iraq when he disagreed with it, but gave the President the money to fight it. It's the same as saying he agreed to it.

But Ronald Reagan has passed on. Wouldn't she be another Ronald Reagan in another lifetime? Or do you mean in your lifetime?

We loved Reagan as governor as California, and he was a good president also. Doesn't sound too bad at all.

While at a Governors conference she went into labor with her son Conner, got on a commercial flight home and arrived just in time to have her baby. She told only her husband that she was in labor. Three days later she was back to work.
She put together a pipeline deal that is fair and balanced and doesn't pander to the oil powers. She did this after three-four administrations before her couldn't and she did it by telling the big oil conglomerates NO!
So, can Sarah lead this country if McCain should die. You bet she can!
I guess you all know where my vote is going in November!

Thank you for writing that, it's encouraging. The more I read about her the more I can identify with her as a person. She's real! Finally, I hear adults talking about a politician like a real person instead of like some sort of mythical god.

Parent longevity is also a good predictor ... I've listened to his 90 yo mother and she's not all there.

Presidency also ages a person mentally and physically.

When you add in that he can't remember simple things, like how many houses he has, or names of countries, it's not looking very good. Picking Palin is a good example of his mental decline.... he just destroyed every good reason for voting for him.

Its more likely Barak Obama will be assassinated than it is John McCain will die on office in my mind.

Well said.

Her path is not through the selling out and buying up process 90% of the elected officials today ascend through. I think we are getting a breath of fresh air.
