Vallerina 2 #26 October 20, 2008 Quote Quote The idea of Sarah Palin as VP isn't all that onerous to me. Chances are she'll never need to take over the presidency. Statistically, the chances have worked out to roughly 1 in 5. Do we adjust to account for McCain's age & health? I'm undecided. An insurance underwriter or an actuary would probably say yes. An historian would note that Eisenhower and Reagan were both old and survived, while Garfield and JFK were still in their 40's when they died. As a pretend actuary, my advice is don't believe everything Matt Damon says. He must've been using an outdated Mortality Table....or doing an ever popular trick of adjusting interest rates until you get the number you like! That being said, Sarah Palin still gives me the heeby jeebies, and I don't understand why McCain chose her over other, more qualified individuals.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Biden is only 6 years younger than McCain, if I recall correctly - do you have the same fears if he should succeed to the Presidency? No, because I'm confident that a President Biden would appoint a Vice President more qualified to succeed to the presidency than the "running mate" that McCain picked.

That is nice, so in general you don't approve of violence by the democrats but you don't completely disapprove of it. So what are the exceptions to the "in general" that you think it is okay for the democrats to act violently? By Obama not denouncing the violent acts of the democrats, he is by omission encouraging them. Please also explain how the democrats accuses any white person that votes for McCain as being racist but if a black person votes for Obama they are not.Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!
