After seeing Bush elected twice... I've completely bashed thru the wall and am starting on the next one.

I can't believe anyone'd think McCain was the one with 'more experience' after choosing her. His decision on her is a cynical ploy to try and grab the regressive idiot vote, which unfortunately is a big constituency here. It's not about having a viable backup in case he dies in office, that's for sure.. Normally, McCain is a lot more pragmatic about these things. He seems to be going off the deep end more and more these days.. abandoning his old maverick ways and sucking up to the Bush loyalists.. what an asshole.
