Also As someone said it appears that the Republicans will ???hold their noses and vote for McCain??? even though in 2000 and until this Spring some were questioning his sanity and treating him as a traitor to their cause. It was interesting to note that the people at the Convention love Ronald Reagan and George Bush but only tepidly acknowledged Gerald Ford or G.H.W. Bush. Noticeably, nothing was said about Nixon or Eisenhower. Even Teddy Roosevelt did not receive the applause of Reagan or George Bush.
It is not clear that Republicans realize that if Palin is elected VP, given that McCain will be 72 if he becomes President, Palin will most likely be a candidate for President in 2012. It would be very surprising if she would be allowed to be the Republican candidate for President in 2012.
