Let's put this question out to pasture. Or shoot it. Put us out of it's misery, at any rate. Is Sarah Palin or Joe Biden or John McCain or Barack Obama "ready" to be President of the United States? Who knows?!
I believe I can say this with great confidence: Any of the above is as ready for the job as George W. Bush was on January 21 2002. As ready as he is today, in fact, after seven and 1/2 years in the job! The likelihood that any individual, even if chosen at random, would muck up the government of the country as massively and consistently as the current occupant of the White House is so remote it would probably be a major indication that Armageddon is, in fact, fast approaching. As a considerable portion of the fans of the current president belive. Why they're his fans in fact.
So lets quit asking this (unanswerable) question, stop feeding the RNC their favorite straight line. Start asking Real Questions, like, umm, "CERN recently started up it's new high powered LHC, hoping to eventually recreate, in micro, the conditions of the Universe immediately following the Big Bang. What do you think of the possibility this holds for new discoveries in Cosmology?" I realize this is a pretty open ended question. It would sure invite more interesting replies than asking about those wonderful Tax Cuts that we all, of course, favor.
