I was going to leave it with just my one post. It's much too easy to get sucked in to political debates, but ...

QM, as far as I'm concerned you could end that post with "the idea of Mcain winning."

I'm no more scared of the so-out-of-her-depth-she-can't-be-allowed-to-talk-to-media Palin as president than of a President who's demonstrated as much bad judgment and bad temper as McCain.
Palin was a last minute unvetted pick that did a brilliant job of shoring up his lagging support among the social conservative base and stealing the political spotlight after the Democratic convention. But was there anything beyond the immediate political consideration? Any thought to whether she could actually do the job? That's McCain's judgment right there.
And the idea that she could draw Clinton supporters just because she was a woman? How insulting is that?
