Obama Biden for sure.. For many reasons.

But at the very least, who among you thinks Palin is ready to head up the country if anything happens to the 72 year old(with health issues) running for president?

No less ready that Obama... I'd rather have inexperience in the VP seat.

Thats your prerogative, but Obama is far from inexperienced.

Here is more to chew on about Palin(there are many serious issues with this person and her history, it will all come out and it will boggle peoples minds why they chose her):

And I'm sick of hearing the "Experience" thing thrown out there. It's just a cover for some deeper issues people have for not wanting to vote for Obama(I'll leave that alone, but I think the point is clear). Here is some info on Obama's "Experience"(I'll choose this person over any other we have to choose from):

If you say it's biased.. well yes, it should be, it's factual information about a candidate for the presidency of the United States of America. So if there is good factual info regarding the positive "Experience" from McCain/Palin.. let's see it.

Umm, you were the one who threw it out there.

It's time for change in this country and I don't think you're gonna see it with the McCain ticket. MCcain didn't start this whole change things until recently when he was down about 10% from Obama. I'm olded enough to have voted since Ronald Reagan took office and I've ALWAYS voted republican. This time it will be different. People need to get into politics a little more to know who they are voting for. Voting for McCain because he wife drifts is just wrong. McCain will be just like bush if not worse. The guy was a POW for 6 years. Who would have more of a grudge with the world than McCain? Listen to his speeches. Foreign policy is almost always at the top of his priorities. We need to solve things diplomatically, not being so eager to go to war like Bush. This thing with Georgia & Russia is getting hotter. If Georgia becomes a member of NATO and is attacked by Russia, WE WILL goto war with Russia under the NATO policies. Did anyone listen to the one on one speech with Sarah Palin? She was awful when interviewed. She didn't even know what the Bush Doctrin was. She was just as eager to goto war with Russia. Between the commericals of McCain videos of him as a POW & Palin's hockey Mom crap, i'm sick of it. When this woman is unscripted without a teleprompter in front of her with a speech written for her, she scares me. And this who thing about Experience is just crazy. McCain has experience, but experience making the wrong decisions. He's voted with Bush 90% of the time. If you like the way things are now, vote for McCain.

Understand who you're voting for before you do it.

I cannot imagine if Palin was in office. She has been a governer since 2006! That is it. I guess you can count her experience as a mayer also huh...

She has no international experience and just seems stupid IMO. There is a reason that she won't take on one-on-one interviews. The McCain party doesn't even think she is ready.

When you are in a position of even governer, you should answer questions that the public has for you. We are paying your wage, you should be able to answer some questions.

As far as McCain goes, he is a horrible speaker. There isn't any power behind his words. He seems to have the "feel sorry for me" campaign going on trying to secure votes. At the RNC, all they talked about was him as a POW and that he has served in the armed forces. If you like a poor economy and a country at war, vote McCain.

Wrong. She is the governor of Alaska, which is the closest state to Russia.

A) its better then crumming up a bunch of other threads with political speak.
B) This has to do with the country as a whole and that includes Mitsustyle.

On another note, I am really excited to see the vice presidential debates. I love watching a good car crash as its happening.

Remember people Its not like your voting for your favorite football team. Get educated, there are literally peoples lives at risk with these elections.

+1 Change does not come from the entrenched Republican and Democratic parties. I don't care if it's Obama or McCain claiming it.

Theres such thing as being realistic. The only two parties that have a decent chance for president is the two we are argueing over. If the independent parties were to come up with a strong candidate and work for a full 4 years gaining support, i would care what that candidate thought, but its just not a reality right now. Believe me, when Nader ran, i supported him, but in todays current society it is a two party system. Unfortunatly.

It's attitudes like this that are the reason why we are stuck in a two-party system. Reality is there are other candidates, like it or not, and the media is to blame for these other people not being known. I dare you to ask anyone on the street who Ron Paul is, and I bet you the majority respond with "Ron who?"

I understand what you are saying, but in the end, no matter if you vote for Ron Paul(I like him) or not, it comes down to these two parties(realistically). At that point, I say vote for the lessor evil(politics making everyone evil..). I don't mean to downplay what you and others are doing and believe in, but it just seems like a wasted vote(specially in this very important election). Thoughts? Or care to make someone like me understand the rational? Not meant to be disrespectful, truly want to know.

Then I will place a vote with a mark next to McCain. No, not a vote for McCain, but a vote against Obama.
