Certainly, sir, you have changed my views on this election as a whole. I had not ever considered that Palin would truly be in line for the Presidency -- after all, John McCain's bitter ordeals in Vietnam (who could forget them, that Mav-er-ick) have truly sculpted him into something of an Atlas or Hercules-type figure. But now, you drop this bombshell upon me, that he is truly a mortal man? Nay, say I, good sir, McCain must have picked Sarah Palin in good faith -- mayhaps he sees something in her (as one Mav-er-ick to another) that you cannot?
