It is very sad but neither of the vice president candidates impress me. Actually they are both very poor candidates in my opinion. The difference between Palin and Biden is that the chance of seeing Biden becoming a president are slim fortunately while we cannot say the same for Palin. McCain is old and there is a pretty high risk that he may not finish his 4 years term. That means that there are a fair amount of chances that Palin will be the next president of the USA and that my friends is really scary. Imagine Palin against Medvedev/Putin in a crisis similar to the Cuba missiles crisis of 1962!
