sorry, i've been busy lately.
this will be my last post here because it's reminding me why i hate talking politics and how one-sided people are. i'll try to answer everything.
about her being #2 and somehow becoming pres, the examples of Adams, Jefferson, and such are just swell but here's my point-i'm not convinced she could lead shit. all those examples you mentioned were strong candidates who obviously showed something to their presidential running-mate to convince him that they were fit for the VP position. Palin just kind of came out of nowhere suddenly and McCain picked her willy-nilly it seems.
the mayor thing. MAYOR. you do realize "mayor" is just, essentially, a title right? sure they head the city council but they have no legislative powers. in a mayor-council government, a mayor does have legislative powers but only large cities have that.
the governor thing ain't winning me over either. she's making executive decisions but for her state. a state that, as i've said, is under-populated and easily forgotten.
i'm not an elitist, the University of Idaho thing bugs me because this is a HUGE position, VP, and i'm more comfortable with someone who went to a respected well-known college than a shmuck Idaho where potatoes 101 is a hot topic class.
the church stuff, yeah i consider where she goes to church. i don't want some crazy religion nut job making our country's decisions. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/02...23205.html
your A) B) points. maybe it's speculation, but to imply you're ok with the pres and VP having different views is scary. you want conflict inside our government?
they're REALLY conservative but we're also REALLY american and as much as we dislike voting Obama we can't stand seeing the country the way it is and we believe Obama can Eff up the country a little less than McCain.
