>>It's Sarah Palin not Tore Bleken. Of course I'll not say Tore Bleken can be a good president just because he is God-fearing. The former is already a public servant for long, a vice-presidential candidate before; has track records; etc. Tore Bleken doesn't have those...

>Uh, Sarah Palin was not a public servant for long at all, and is not one now. (She is a servant of the fame and fortune of Sarah Palin). She was mayor of a town of 6000 in Alaska and governor of Alaska for a while before quitting halfway through her term. As far as being a vice presidential candidate, she was the reason a lot of moderates voted for the other ticket. She fires up the hard right but moderates and liberals wouldn't elect her dogcatcher.

I like how you used the term "moderates." I know a few Independents and Republicans who voted for Obama. I also know a couple of Democrats who did not, and those I would not consider "moderate" in their views.
