saw an episode of the daily show a few days ago with ari fleischer on it
at least I think it was that one, where a question was asked along the lines of why is everyone focusing more on her than on john mccain, when he's the one going for president?
though she does seem like more of a cunt than mccain does

Well I think that it is the most important elction
for a VP ever. The fact is that she would become president of the USA if he died, and as John CLeese put it, John McCain is a 72 year old cancer survivor!

spose, if they were to concentrate purely on the president and not their running mate
then the vp is essentially a non-elected bureaucrat like dick cheney, ie powerful but not really accountable?
