I would not want a regular person running this country! POTUS is a tough job..needs a smart person! not some youbetcha speaking soccer mom.

Guess again. It is and always has been both, this because the offices are listed on the ballot in every state (etc.) across the nation.

No, although they are just a distant blip in the rear view mirror now, and roughly the last 18 of them have been recently wiped out. Looks like the Second Bush Recession is going to be the worse of the two...

Palin has the common sense of DEMOCRACY. People, what we are being faced with now is called SOCIALISM. Does anyone know what the last country was that did what the US has done regarding the banks, auto industry and taxing the carp out of the rich?? YES! GERMANY!! Yep, they persecuting the Jews because they were SUCCESSFUL. Geez. Obama is essentially punishing the ones who profit and rewarding failure. That's NOT what this country was founded on. Get smart everyone!

Bush's base was the redneck votes and the corporate greed votes.

McCain picked Palin to draw the redneck votes.

Liberals have never, and are probably incapable of, drawing redneck votes.

Which Democrat candidate could draw in rednecks?

Heck.

I was hoping this was a Michael Palin thread for a change.

Monty Python isn't as funny as Sarah the Moosekatwit, but they're a lot more believable.

Palin, would not vote for her as chief dog catcher, but would not kick her out of bed...well that is unless she started talking. Stupid is just not attractive.
