Holy crap, remind me to put a stop on that last check to Cornell - the place has obviously gone to sh-- since Fred Marcham, L. Pearce Williams, and Walter LaFeber held court there.
You are actually making the argument that you 'CANNOT with good conscience' vote for someone who IS qualified because you think his running mate is unqualified, therefore you WILL in good conscience vote for someone equally unqualified as that running mate you eschew? (Palin is unqualified and could become President, so instead of voting for McCain, who IS qualified, I'll just vote for an equally unqualified 2-term state senator instead?)
Help me understand the logic - you know McCain's qualified, but Palin could become president, so instead of voting for the qualified guy, you'd vote for someone no more qualified than Palin?
Please tell me you're a 'Hotelie' - I'll be less worried about what's going on down there.
