This Palin as VP or 269-269 tie thing is as proposterous as the "brokered convention" crap.

Basically it has a non-zero potential of happening, but it's highly damn unlikely, yet it's all over everything because it's a slow news day.

I remember the primaries, and that's *all* people talked about when it was slow news and no one had anything better to discuss. We saw what a huge complete waste of time *that* was.

So please don't be worried, Obama is going to completely obliterate McCain. Americans aren't completely stupid.

1. Can't they give Guam 1 EV or something so that there are no ties?

2. It's a SLOW NEWS DAY? The hearings this morning which could determine

the country's economic future aren't news? What is wrong with these people?? Are they reporters, or not?

3. In other words: Pay no attention to 7 of the last 10 presidential elections - that Republicans won?

If you think this thing is over - you're not paying attention. Complacency loses elections.

Edit: You really think this is a slow news day? What country do you live in?

4. Well the 269 thing isn't THAT improbable

I mean it's going to take a couple swings that surprise folks but not much. The possible outcome of Pain as VP IS absolutely asinine though, as we have a clear constitutional path for tie breaking and swapping VPs is not part of it.

5. Why are you getting worked up about an article coming out of the Moonie Times?

Oooh, shiny object. Gotta run.
