I... kind of disagree about Sarah Palin. While I agree that the Democrats need to stop being distracted by her and need to start talking about themselves again (or, more pointedly, attack McCain on issues that aren't his age, such as: his policies and the fact that he and Palin have decided that the "little facts" don't matter), as far as I'm concerned, running for Vice-President is the same thing as running for President. That's really the only purpose the VP Office serves - to assume the Presidency. So I don't think Palin should be evaluated less thoroughly than McCain because she's only running for Vice-President.
