Palin Vs. Obama: The Most Extraordinary Presidential (Vice??) Race In Our History!

How extraordinary this presidential election has been and continues to be. Mainly because it, at times, seems to be a contest between someone running for president, Barack Obama, and someone running for vice-president, Sarah Palin.

There are many days when John McCain seems to disappear into the background white noise modern campaigns generate. Palin  has become his surrogate and, some fear, may be his replacement.

I heard a commentator just before say that many potential voters may feel it politically incorrect to say they support Palin but then will vote for her come election day. If that is true, the Republicans just may pull this one off despite Obama’s apparent lead in the polls.

Should that happen, it really will be one for  the history books–not that this whole thing isn’t already. But the notion that a presidential election might turn on the popularity of a vice-presidential candidate –Sarah Palin–is something our founding fathers would be stunned at. Although, our founding mothers may have had a secret gleam in their eyes.
