There's been an awful lot of jive moving around on the internet and in the news about McCain's VP "pick" Sarah Palin, the first term Govenor of Alaska. I say "pick" because she was not John McCain's first or even second choice (I didn't know he didn't get to choose his own VP). Unless you were drunk through all of Labor Day weekend, nothing I've said so far is really news. She has a pregnant teenage daughter, sure. She is under investigation for the firing of a state trooper, okie doke. Her husband got a DUI 22 years ago, who didn't in the 80's. Although despite all of this certifiable "hooplah" there's something no one really seems to be talking about. I mean, I listen closely, I read the news papers. Why has no one stood up and screamed at the top of their lungs "THIS PERSON IS ONE HEART BEAT AWAY FROM BEING THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD!" Nevermind her scandal, politicians with no scandal hang out with Big Foot and Santa on the weekends, but she isn't even kinda sorta qualified to lead in the event that John McCain dies. Now I'm not saying that he wouldn't make it through two terms. What I AM saying is that McCain has a foot in the grave. If conservatives really want to have an "Experience" fight, I think they've finally thrown the match.
Edit:
/This. Go take a look.

actually, i've been hearing the phrase all week. all the pundits and reporters are saying "well, can someone who is one heartbeat away from the presidency have 5 children?" and blahdy-blah. i'm surprised jon stewart hasn't done a montage yet of all the times the talking heads have said "one heartbeat away from the presidency", i've heard it every newscast her name is in. what bothers ME, and what I THINK no one is paying attention to, is that with all the referring to her as "one heartbeat away", why doesn't anybody think it's a bad idea to elect a president that we're pretty sure will die before he's out of office? if we're so afraid of him croaking, i think perhaps the VP spot is just one of many of our worries.

I don't even view her as a legitimate candidate; to me, Palin is one giant political trick to cement the far right to the GOP strategy.
Also, she looks a lot like the porn star Austin Kincaid.
