Agreed. All the dems have to do to stir the pot is say that this just means more dilling, more of what will not get us off oil.
I dont see how people who liked Hillary's far left side view on things will all of a sudden go to the republicans, even if McCain isnt as right as Bush was.
If Hillary's supporters go to McCain, they are doing out of it cause they didnt get thier way.

Saying and doing are two different things. Dems have to continue to drum up the Bush stuff, and they can coast themselves into office.

The VP role is very important. America has forgotten that because the current VP has spent eight years in his basement in his underwear playing stratego.

VP is also the President of the Senate. So a 50/50 tie could be decided by the VP of the US. VP has a lot of power, you just dont hear about it.
I just find it odd that a woman that no one knows, that was just sworn in as gov. of Alaska less then 2 years ago, has risen to possibly be the 2nd most powerful person in the free world?
Does no one question that?
