too funny you guys think the best "they can throw out is Palin" when most of us had no idea who she was when they gave her the veep nod. btw, mccain was nowhere near the best they can throw out either, but Ron Paul doesn't have the special interest group power.
Of course there is no way obama is the democrat's "best they can throw out" there either, just simply the one endorsed by the powers-that-be who felt he was the most electable and who've been promised the world. Don't worry, you'll learn that in "Politics 102 - After Obama is president". May the Sheeple be with you
anyway, putting odds on this is completely impossible. Bush Sr would have been a lock in his 2nd year, for instance.
