Seriously, can anyone think of a more pathetic outcome than this...
McCain is elected, Suffers a medical emergency in the first month, and Palin becomes president for the next four years.

I can't think of ANYTHING more pathetic that could possibly happen to the USA and the world. If I were an alien from Mars with no vested interest in the outcome of human life on plant Earth, I would be up there in my flying saucer laughing my fool ass off over the shear comedic absurdity of it all.

This would top The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, The Keystone Cops, and every other bit of slapstick nonsense humor in the annals of history. This would be absurdity of such monumental proportions that the imagination simply boggles at the possibility.

Seriously, HOW can this be happening? How can this even exist as a possible future for our great country? All of the dead presidents of history must be collectively spinning in their graves to see our country come to where this laugh-out-loud ridiculous end is even possible.

I am truly horrified that our country might come to an end in this manner.

2. What it is..is horrifying!
I still can't believe it's real. On the other hand, talking about absurd..how absurd is it that Dumbya is actually Prez at all!-Even more absurd-that he's STILL Prez!!!!

3. Well, we did have Dan Quayle. Short of Chimpy, quite likely one of the more
idiotic republicans to grace the stage.

6. If for any suspicious reason McCain wins we will have to shut this country down
and take to the streets simply because of the implication of a Palin presidency due to McCains weak health. We cannot allow such a travesty. It's tantamount to a takeover by extremist fundamentalists and very dangerous for the world.

I think that Obama will win in a landslide.

7. I'm sorry to say: Don't overestimate the intelligence of the voters
Remember that they elected G. W. Bush twice.
