Marc S.I think the VP candidate is important in this election unlike any other in recent generations.
Actuaries have determined that there is a 25-30% probability [based upon actuary table and underlying risk factors] that McCain would die while in office. As McCain is the oldest potential first-term president ever, that puts Palin in a spotlight unlike any other recent VP.
I categorically cannot endorse an American system led by McCain, and the risk factor of it happening is too large to dismiss as negligible.
