Ok, this whole debate over the nominees and their VP's let's turn things around a little.... answer honestly.... don't bullshit or make excuses just answer, give your OPINION only on the scenarios given.

First: Let's say a presidential nominee had as his "spiritual leader" a known white supremacist reverend, one who went with David Dukes and some Neo Nazi leaders to South Africa in the 80's to show support for Apartheid. This nominee's "spiritual leader" also blames the black, gays, etc for 9/11. Then we find out he has close ties and business dealings with the Gambino family, he served on a board with some ultra right religious nuts that bombed abortion clinics? Pretend this man is a GOP..... what would you GOP voters think?

What would you say about that man? What would you say about the party that supported him?

Next: what would you think about a man that preaches change and stirring up things but yet votes 99% of the time with his party's Senatorial majority Leader, over 95% of the time with his party's extreme side? He has been called by others in the Senate even those in his own party, as being ultra partisan.

Pretend this man is a GOP, what would you think of him? How would you react to his saying "I am going to change how things are done."

Now: What about a candidate that creates news by stating he is more moderate and dislikes his party's sitting president's policies, he talks of distancing himself from this very disliked president.... yet votes 90% with that president's policies?

This time it's a Dem. How would you GOPers look at this guy? How would you Dems look at him?

Or how about this: the nominee of a party criticizes the other for his inexperience but takes as his VP someone just as inexperienced in foreign policy but more experienced in budget management?

The point is take all the "dirt and scandals" surrounding the candidates and reverse them so that you can see how the other side is viewing YOUR candidate.

I have and to be honest, I don't see how either candidate truly won their respective party's nomination.

It boggles my mind how either of these men ever got taken seriously.

So go ahead answer the scenarios AS PUT FORTH. Just answer honestly.... put in your own scenarios that you may think of.

Try to see the whole picture not just the part you want to focus on.
