I'm cruel but realistic

Oft times I sincerely believe I need someone to temper my lack of discretion, deportment and good taste. This is one of those times.

When voters in the US go to the polls in November, should they choose to vote Republican, they are voting for John McCain's running mate because that person will most likely succeed McCain.

Life expectancy in the US is 77.8 years (McCain is 71). With a hair trigger temper it probably goes down more. And you can throw in the melanoma and I would surmise hypertension.
