Einstein on VP picks
When Marilyn Monroe met Einstein, she famously joked that if they had children, they would have her looks and his brains.<br>"What if they have my looks and your brains?" he responded.<br>This seems to be a close analogue to the experience/judgement question of the two campaigns: Obama has good judgement if not that much experience, and Biden certainly has a wealth of experience on many fronts. The combination of them only seems to reinforce each other.<br>My fear is the McCain campaign, by default, carries the judgement of McCain ... and the experience of McCain, and Palin as a lure to disgruntled democratic women who aren't paying attention. I wonder if the possibility exists for Palin to inform the judgement of McCain--not that her judgement is anything to commend--I don't know much about her accomplishments. Not likely anyway one looks at it. <br>

Although it's besides the point, your opening story didn't happen. It's been attributed to Winston Churchill, and even earlier than that to George Bernard Shaw (who is more likely to have said it -- it's his form of humor).

Ok. Thanks.
Anyway, it speaks to the dynamic between Obama/Biden versus that between McCain/Palin.

Wow, hysterical. There is a McCain Palin on this page as I read your post. It has a button on it that says 'learn more'. I am tempted to find out what they are telling people about themselves but really don't want to waste my time...
