Unfortunately I dont think she'd call Powell. She'd turn to whoever will have already moved in as her Grand Viziers and do what they tell her to do.

Palin would be fine. She's sort of like a female George Bush but not as smart.

Even a worse thought: what if OBAMA becomes President?

If for some reason McCain wins and he's not able to finish his term out, and Palin has to step to the plate as President - just how bad would things get? Things are bad already, but can you imagine how much worst it would get? Scary, scary, scary, scary.....

More than my heart can take just to imagine Palin & Todd running this nation, it would probably give me a heart attack if it actual happens.

What's your take? What the worst things you think would happen as a result of Palin & Todd (the power abusers) being in charge of this nation?
My take: I'd be very, very sad to see Mr. McCain gone. However, I'm sure Gov Palin would be up for the challenge. She seems like a smart, brave person. If she picked Gov Jindal to be her VP I think our country would be in fantastic hands.

I have an idea for you: Follow the lead of those brilliant libs from Hollywood, Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, etc. They moved to France after Kerry lost.

You guys on the left make me giggle.

Sarah Palin is not "smart." In fact, she may be the most stupid person ever to run for the Vice Presidency; she doesn't believe in global warming (although they've told her to change her tune on that, publicly); she believes in witch doctors; she was found guilty of abuse of power in her role as Governor of Alaska; she has a third-rate education; she doesn't read; etc. And please don't confuse bravery with arrogance.

I think Gov. Palin is very smart.

I'm pretty sure she does read.

I don't care about her religion.

I think she handled the troopergate thing okay.

Her education is fine with me.

I don't confuse bravery with arrogance.

I'm sure you and other libs heads will explode when McCain wins and this idjit woman is VP.

Very, very funny. I can't wait to see the hysteria when all you smarty pants are confronted with the fact that The Golden Child is a fraud.

The next 3 weeks are going to be quite fun!

"Hey honey, the internet just told me that because Alaskan crime rates are lower than Chicago's, Sarah Palin will make a better president than Obama."

Actually, Todd pokes his nose a lot into his wife's business. Todd's advice is going to be poor for the country. He has been a fixture at Sarah's office. Source: (Sarah Palin's husband, Todd, was a fixture at governor's office - Los Angeles Times)

But Atty. Gen. Talis J. Colberg, during his interview with Branchflower, was unable to explain the presence of the governor's husband at Cabinet meetings.

"If someone said that they have seen him at more than one or two Cabinet meetings, would that give you pause?" Branchflower asked.

"That would give me pause, but it's possible," Colberg responded.


"Are Cabinet meetings open to the public?"

"Not to my knowledge."

"Is Todd Palin a state employee, to your knowledge?"

"No."

"Do you know why he was allowed to remain there?"

"No."

Regarding the surplus... look up the Republican-written balanced budget amendment.
