Suppose ...

... we all wrote in Sarah Palin as President instead of VP?

On a separate but related thought, one of the things that I find most depressing about American politics is not just that the electorate is so deeply and bitterly divided between Democratic and Republican, but that both sides seem to invest so much hatred and vitriol in trying not to heal that rift, but rather to deepen and widen it still further.  Sometimes it makes me wonder whether this century will see a Second American Civil War.

There was more than the Monegan business; though even that counts--one simply doesn't hire someone for a critical position if they are the subjects of a credible criminal investigation. The petroleum-industry connections alone are enough to raise my eyebrows. The connections between the petroleum industry in Alaska and the state Republican Party mean that any Alaska Republican is going to have to make a very strong case for their independence from the oil industry before I'd even consider them. Hey! I wonder if that's who put her forward. That would make all kinds of sense. Have to wait and see.

In any event, I've said my piece; I'm going to let this discussion drop for a while.
