Good thing I'm going on vacation beginning tomorrow

McCain has served his country all of his life. In years past he was the largest critic of his own party and reached across the aisle to support many high profile bills.

I'd write more but I need to do research, no time this morning...

iSm - I know about the Biden RAVE act. The RAVE act never passed, and thank goodness, because it could make a promoter of any party involving the selling of water bottles and glowsticks a criminal, as they were "providing a place for people to do drugs". The rest of congress figured it out and wouldn't support it.

See, but I'm not voting for a VP.....and unlike what you've said regarding gay marriage, I believe that we can't win on every front with a ticket.

Lieberman, Ted Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton were big proponents of the RAVE act, BTW.

This is why I'm finding it so incomprehensible that there has been so much coverage of Palin, and so much comparison between Palin and Obama in terms of experience. Compare Palin to Biden. Compare Obama to McCain. Compare the tickets.

However, having said that, I think the coverage of Palin has been a HUGE boost to the McCain/Palin ticket.

Totally. McCain is boring at this point. Obama needs to shift the focus back onto him.

BTW - I am fine with related political derails in this thread. Shall I tell Wendybeth "Thanks, but no thanks"?

It wasn't so much the derail- it was more the way they were going after you, which I thought not-very-nice considering the original intent of this thread. Never mind- y'all have at it and enjoy yourselves.

Seriously - thanks for looking out for me.
