PBS poll needs your input

[netmouse]

PBS is running a poll on whether or not Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice president. Word is the Right-wingers have organized a yes vote. I think we can turn it around.

Note that I do believe rational thought and a belief in science and facts are qualifications to be vice president of my country. I'm crazy that way.

Also, I do think the question should be read as "qualified to be vice-president *to* John McCain," since that's really the question we're faced with. Because the odds that that man will survive *and* maintain his mental faculties through the course of a single presidential term seem to be going down by the minute.

McCain's Health

[salientmind.livejournal.com]

I talked to irit the other day about this and she went off on me about the 'myth' that he and his health are in jeopardy. "he's as vigorous as can be" she said. She said she's sick of both campaigns trying to falsely paint the other in one or another way-- that both of them are spreading falsifications.

I never got to making the point that his choice of Palin for runningmate casts McCain's judgment, if not his health, in serious question...

Well, I base my conclusions and concerns about his health on his own words, seeing him on videos, and some news reports about his cancer and what he can and cannot do with his injured arm, not on anything the campaigns are saying.
