It's like people are voting on comic book characters.

Nah, they're politicians. Well thought out comic book characters have some depth and integrity.

Maybe we should get them on one ticket. How many years can McCain last in the White House? She is important and I find her lack of connections/experience refreshing. Someone was comparing Obama to Lincoln because their governmental experience levels are virtually identical... of course Lincoln got 640,000 of his fellow citizens killed... maybe experience is meaningful.

Lincoln was a republican mass murderer....just like George W. Bush and his clone John McCain.

Now Radar, none of this antebellum, 'ain't nothing wrong with slavery' nonsense. If I were in the south in 1864, I'll join the Union and try to kill every slave owner myself.
