the qualities you mention....think of what a great vice president and perhaps president Sarah Palin will make....even tempered, not getting outwardly angry, being the good soldier....
McCain is going to win....so everybody, we can cry our tears but I just think he is going to pull it off.....
From your mouth to God's ears about McCain winning! (I must confess I got a little encouraged tonight as one of my 24-year-old son's friends, a committed liberal, switched to McCain having seen the Friday night debate and Obama at his best.)
