"It's time that normal Joe Six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency,"
no shit.
Most normal 'joe six packs' don't know much about the economy, history, the world, nuclear proliferation, the war, etc etc.
Seriously, would you pick out any ashhole in traffic and trust him to lead our country? Hell no.
We want a person who is smarter that most of us, running the place. Even BUSH is a shitload smarter than Palin.
