what's there to be ready for? cutting ribbons and casting a vote in the senate every 2-3 years?
Cute and smart reply, sweetie!

When you stop patting yourself on the back for your high levels of smartness, here's another question for you:

What do Andrew Johnson, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson and Gerald Ford have most specifically in common?

Put your thinking cap on!

Looks like your own thinking cap is a bit loose. John Tyler succeeded to the Presidency after the 68 year-old President William Henry Harrison caught pneumonia at his inauguration and died a mere 30 days into his term.
Even worse, Tyler had been selected for the VP purely for the political expediency in helping "Tippecanoe" get elected (sound familiar?), and did not align politically with his own party, the Whigs, and proved to be a terrible President. His nickname while in office was "His Accidency," and his administration is regarded as one of the worst in history.

McCain supporter Eagleburger says Palin not ready for top job

Asked Thursday on National Public Radio if he thought Palin would be ready to take over in a crisis, Eagleburger said, "Of course not."

"I don?t think at the moment she is prepared to take over the brains of the presidency.[/b] I can name for you any number of other vice presidents who were not particularly up to it, either," Eagleburger said.

I've always thought Eagleburger had shit for brains. The fact that he's still supporting McCain for President, despite ackowledging that Palin isn't qualified just confirms it.

Being able to name other VP's who weren't qualified is no excuse to elect another moron just means we were lucky that we didn't happen to run into the need for any of those unqualified VP's to take over. It also means there's no excuse for voting for the jackass who was stupid enough to pick her as a running mate.

McCain's age and his previous multiple encounters with melanoma don't mean he will die in office, but it sure raises the actuarial odds to the point where it should be taken into account, and Palin is dumber than a freaking rock. Putting her in the second seat would be an open invitation to disaster.
