Republicans rolling the dice (1 in 6)
According to Jon Taplin’s friend, an insurance broker,
“a 72 year old man with a history of cancer has a one in six chance of living to the age of 80. “

The prospect of a Palin presidency should make ANYONE think long and hard about their vote. Ethics scandals… blatant, petty abuse of power… threats of censorship… hypocrisy… anti-science creationism in the schools… anti-American support for 49 state Alaska separatism… experience consisting of a mere 20 months governing a state with 1/10th the population of NYC… I’m flabbergasted. How can anyone conceive of this person as a candidate to be a sick old man’s heartbeat away from holding the most powerful office in the world? How could any reasonable, thinking person in the 21st century think this could have any possible benefit to the United States? McCain’s cynicism and desperation are hardly to be believed. But the Rovian Republican schemers know how to win “by any means necessary” so as ridiculous, inappropriate and dangerous the prospect of this radically out-of-touch, ignorant 40’s throwback might be, it’s something that has to be taken seriously. The idea that some women will vote McCain/Palin because of her gender makes me doubly ill. She’s as anti-feminist as they come, regardless of chromosomes. I struggle for words, how can these people take these matters so lightly? How can such a person be considered remotely qualified?
