If Sarah Palin can't take over the presidential campaign in McCain's absence how can she be expected to take over the presidency if something happens to him?

Palin is the mayor of a small town in a provincial state, unfortunately thrown into the national scene to sarisfy McCain's evangelistic religious right-wing supporters. She doesn't deserve this and didn't have the common sense to refuse the nomination. Finally gingerly exposed to being interviewed by Karie Couric, she reveals herself inarticulate, uninformed and unimpressive. Responses are trite, repetitive, programmed.
Her candidacy would be embarrassing if it weren't potentially so tragic.

McCain is not stable enough to be President of the United States.

It's not just the impulsiveness, he is extremely self-involved and disrespectful of others as well as the rules and courtesies which drive civilized life. He is ready to turn everybody and everything upside down to satisfy his own whims. Has he stopped for just a second to consider what the consequences of a last-minue cancellation of a televised national presidential debate that's been set up for months actually are? What this would do to Mississippi? The issues of TV time and ad time, all booked months ago? Does he understand how unfair he is being to the debate organizers, holding their debate hostage until the very last minute? What about the state of Mississippi, which has been gearing up to this event, proud and excited? How much money would be lost? How many lawsuits? This isn't a high school project, it's the presidency of the United States and the national stage.

Such unreliability, disrespect and chaos would be ill-suited to the most high-ranking office in the land.
