Yeah I loved how McCain's impending death was used against his campaign as it made more of the attention on her.
A bit off topic.

Joe has been as much involved as say, Dick Chaney was.
It’s kind of amazing….
A ridiculous president can trash the country for eight years, and you won’t hear a peep from conservatives. But if a Democrat so much as jaywalks, they all go into fits.
Torture? A reckless war based on lies? Huge windfalls for the oil companies that the administration used to (and apparently always has) worked for? Violating the most basic freedoms? Taking a strong economy ("our 42nd") and tanking it (our 43rd)?
And you are worried about a couple thousand dollars in accounting errors!?
Furthermore, does it occur to anyone that maybe one reason so many nominees have problems with tax returns is that the tax code is so damned complicated that it is easy to make unintentional errors and oversights no matter how hard one tries to be honest and complete. Some of these nominees are symptomatic of millions of taxpayers who make inadvertent errors because not even the IRS understands the tax code. Note that if you ask for IRS help, they will not guarantee that their answer is correct. Or you can get diametrically opposed answers from different IRS “helpers.” What??!! If the IRS can’t give straight, guaranteed answers to tax questions, what does that say about the system. How many senators and congressmen have had tax boo-boos?
It is interesting that the Republican party had its best results in the states with the worst education (deep south) and the highest teenage pregnancy rate (traditional values) - thank Palin for that...
It's off topic but what the hell.....
