Your post has some merit.
However, I would add this as a point of consideration:
What if 9/11 hadn’t happened?
America never really knew what W had in him until he had a disaster to respond to. History gave him the Battle of the Century, and he responded with courage and valor. History will ultimately decide what will be wirtten about his level of greatness.
Who’s to say that McCain’s veep choice, if forced into the Oval Office, could not rise to a similar level?
I really can’t argue with your premise, but I just offered something for all to think about.
Peace.
Who's to say that they will? Can we take that risk on someone with as thin a resume as Sarah Palin?
