I can understand that and I wasn't directing it at you. I hear too many say "he's old and will die in office, do we want Palin?" My own mother said that yesterday to me.
I have a news flash for you, ANY president can die in office. Bush I could have died and we'd have had Quayle.... now that was a person to fear. Clinton could have died or been impeached and we'd have had Tipper as first lady and with that power God only knows what she would have done with PMRC and censorship. Look at Bush II with Cheney, that man scares any sane person in the US and unfortunately, he did run the country.... LOL bad example.... Obama has Biden, who I like a lot but the more I read into him and his sons the more I realize how corrupt he may be.
But I don't vote for the VP, never have or I would never have voted for Clinton. As it was in 2000, I voted for Nader because of a dislike for Gore.

Yes, I do. I have nothing truly against anyone voting for Obama because they believe him to be he best candidate. I have issues with those voting for him solely because of his race or voting against him because of his race. Same as if Hilary ran and people voted for or against her because of her sex or Lieberman because of his religion and so on.
If you truly believe that Obama is the best candidate vote for him. I don't. I am not a great fan of McCain's but to me he is the better choice.
