Again, I'm more worried about what Mr. McCain/Obama will do as opposed to what the VP will do. While it is a possibility the focus of the prize is really who sits there first and foremost
I agree, focus on the person actually running for the office.

I don't hear as many people say "Obama will have a bullseye on him from some nutcase because of his race", which is just as much if not more a possibility than McCain dying in office.

VOTE FOR WHOM YOU BELIEVE WILL DO THE BEST JOB AND HAVE THE MOST QUALIFIED AND BEST PEOPLE IN THEIR FIELDS SURROUNDING THEM.... DON'T VOTE AGAINST SOMEONE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE, RACE, SEX, SEX ORIENTATION, RELIGION AND SO ON.

If we all do the above, then I truly believe the best candidate in this year's field will win. If we vote due to our prejudices and biased fears based on the individual and not his policies and platforms.... we will end up with the worst candidate.
