Clinton and Obama both got 18 million votes. Obama made a mistake not getting Clinton to run with him. McCain took advantage of the by getting Palin. Also between Palin and his wife, McCain likes attractive women. I do not think that you mentioned that Palin was runner-up for Miss Alaska. Also I am a man that was for Clinton and now I am for Palin.

Clinton said that her support went to Obama, but the only way to prove it was for her to be Obama's running mate so the 18 million Clinton votes would go with her. There is a saying that the only bad news is no news. So it is no longer a bid deal with Bristol being pregnant. But because of that news, we now know the name and age of one of Palin's daughters. People thought that McCain was too old to think outside of the box.

Also the experts thought that they were so smart that even though McCain had not yet announced his running mate, they could predict who it was. That would have shown that McCain is old and boring and has no surprises in him. Running a city and a state is executive experinece unlike being a senator. Obama ruined the chance of a woman getting to be president or VP but McCain has revived the chance.

Does anyone disagree that Obama picking Clinton as running mate would have given him the best chance to win? She got just as many votes as Obama. Also why did Obama pick Biden. He did not pick his name, but Obama knew that people were saying change the 'b' to an 's' and you get Osama. Also his middle name is Hussein (Saddam Husein). But then he picks a running mate where if you add 'nla' to Biden, you get bi[n La]den.

"I am a man that was for Clinton and now I am for Palin."

That quote says it all. I am disgusted by people who vote for genitals over issues. Clinton wanted to win, not to be the first female president, but to be THE president. After seeing how hard Clinton worked, it would be an insult to the office for Palin to become Commander in Chief so easily.

Yes, if Obama had picked Clinton as a running mate, it would have given him a better chance to win. He would be winning cheap votes, though. People would be voting for Hillary's genitals rather than Obama's messages on the issues.

Oh, and we stopped making fun of other's names in the third grade. Just so you know.

Good and interesting article, thanks!
