Read it.
Quick notes: Our Prime Minister is Stephen Harper, and pretty much every other political figure (sans Sarkozy) are made up.
So, does this prove Palin has no experience with Foreign Policy? Or is the fact Bush (and other Presidents) made these fatal errors redeeming to her?
Also, Cheney knew Canadian Premiers, one stunt backfired on the prankers, as he was close friends with Alberta's actual Premiere at the time. So, some VP's are smart(er).
Furthermore, are you confident she could make a good President? Or, do you see her as a joke?
I don't care about politics, I don't want anything to do with government, they'll always screw you over for themselves.
Wow.
I think Shit is smarter than Palin.... DX
That rat brain that one of my friends dissected has more intelligence than her.
I have more foreign policy experience than Palin because I worked with Mexicans at the fast food restaurant I worked at.
Palin would be the worst president in history, without a doubt. She's freaking dense. I can name ten people right now that would be better presidents than her.
My History professor, my Economics teacher from high school, my great-Unlce, ME, Anyone in the democratic party, anyone in the Republican party (minus Huckabee...he's almost as bad), Reggie, StarWindWizard, Spielberg, Hell even Marlyn Manson would be a better president (he is a pretty smart guy...)
given a better vice, i would have voted mccain if i were in the states. i know that mccain won't die in the next 4 years, but at the same time, you cant help but think about "what if".
palin was a huge mistake for mccain. given even a mediocre vice he would have easily stomped obama.

I don't know about that. Obama has had a huge supporting base from the beginning.
Hey, I can see the moon from my house, am I qualified to be an astronaut?
She would not be a good president at all. She can barely run Alaska, how can she run a nation of 300 million?
Plus, one of my brother's teachers said they wouldn't even hire her to teach in a public school based on her education and mindset.

I'm pretty sure Mccain is the candidate for prez, not Palin.

Many believe McCain will die within 2 years, leaving her as the President.

Mack asked whether or not you think she would be a good president if something happened to McCain.
Palin is probably already planning in running for the 2012 election if McCain doesn't win.

I think third party should win but that will never happen...
I got it! Obama will be president. And in 2012 he gets shot during the reelection, and we get someone worse as president. This guy will lead to the end of the world in 2012!

The possibility that either candidate won't live to see his re-election is always an unfortunate reminder that people must take into account when they vote.

I don't know about that. Obama has had a huge supporting base from the beginning.
no, the democrats did. together, Obama & Hillary had a large base. before Obama was chosen as democratic nominee, the Republicans were shown to have had a significant lead in the polls.
McCain's ratings were huge before he picked a running mate. the instant he picked palin, his ratings dropped dramatically.
A note, though, Jono, the poor economy dropped McCain's ratings more than it did Obama's, which, in turn, caused losses too.

yes, but that was far after mccain chose palin. with a better running mate, they would be tighter now.
though I refuse to believe that the race is as far away as the media says. come voting day, all of the elderly will be out to vote republican.
In my opinion Palin was a horrible choice, in terms of ideas, beliefs, and experience... all I am going to say is that McCain would have had a better chance if he had chosen a washed up war veteran for his VP. He'd get most if not all of the army's and marine's votes, making the elections a even closer race.
Ugh. She's such an idiot. If McCain wins, I'm moving to Canada. HI MACK ^_^

I'd do the same if I wasn't going to school in the south here
Good thing early voting shows Obama with a much bigger lead than expected.
Of course that doesn't mean anything on election day itself but it certainly helps.
Too bad I couldn't vote because for SOME AUSPICOUS REASON I'm not "registered" even though I got to a public university in the States (which requires me to...duh duh duh! GET REGISTERED!)
It's all cuz I live in a red state and they don't want the young people voting X_X;;

I'm registered, but I have to go home to vote...it's going to be a pain. x.x;
I voted McCain in the school election... but it was a tough choice because if Palin takes over we are intercourse ed. :|
Obama should win... but I would be interested to know what percent of the McCain > Obama converters changed because of Palin.

Pfft, Canada.
So are all politicians in this election.
Palin is only an exception because,
a) She doesn't know how to couch her stupidity in verbose answers like McCain, Obama, and Biden do.
b) She's the media's favorite pincushion.
I heard the only way McCain has a shot is if the undecideds all vote McCain and the young first-timers don't vote :P

He lost Virginia, a state that voted Republican in every election since 1968.
If he looses Pennsylvania, there's no chance he will win.

Um, no, the advanced polls suggest he will lose Virginia, they aren't proof.
Most recent Alberta Election, polls stated about 50 seats for Conservatives, 20 for the Liberals. All signs said that the Liberals would make a dent. Advanced Polls. Online surveys. News crews on the streets. Red Signs littered the streets.
Final result? 73 Seats ( I believe was the number) for Conservatives, and 4 for the Liberals. In fact, the trouncing they took was only bested by one person in Canada's history, Ralph Klein, who had 75 Blue seats.
So, let your advanced polls, and so forth dictate things, but actuality may be very far off.
No one would or could respect her and she is seen in my view as a weakness in the McCain campain.
I hope Palin's son punches her when he gets older :)

She should have just aborted the baby because it would have been better off dead than living with a disorder amirite?
Considering I don't know the baby personally, I can't say.
"Olol i'm from Alaska I can help run a country."
