This time from Robert J. Elisberg
There was a point during the Republican primaries when I was trying to figure out who I hoped got the presidential nomination. Someone so weak he'd be easy for the Democrats to beat, or someone more challenging who at least wouldn't be a disaster for America. I decided on the latter because America has to resolve its serious problems and can't afford risking some glitch where another George Bush got elected. And so I felt that John McCain, for all his weaknesses, was the lesser of all evils and was glad he got the nomination. Throw that out the window. McCain-Palin is an unthinkable disaster.

It would be nice if both parties could nominate tickets full of qualified candidates who might then debate some real issues, but we are far more likely year after year to be forced to choose between "unmitigated disaster" and "not wholly incompetent." In 2000 and 2004, American voters chose disaster. If they do so again in 2008, we will be beyond God's help.

Either would have made a fine president, advocating economic and diplomatic policies better than those of the current administration simply in virtue of being fundamentally sane.

this year is one of the most important ever to look at the VPs in.
Mccain due to his age (remember how quickly bush/clinton aged when in office?) and Obama due to all the white supremacists.
biden might be even better than obama at pres. but palin? a pirc of her taking the nomination is she will now be found innocent in her scandal (republicans are the ones searching her)... where i live has about 15000 people, so i imagine a third of my mayor running for VP next election makes me chuckle
