Sarah Palin's supreme disqualification should be alarming, persuading people to vote against GOP.

"My opponent claims that we should not be worried about Palin being VP. He claims that we can "impeach" Palin if she is elected or McCain can "Fire" her. Both of these scenarios are very improbable. McCain will not fire Palin if they win the election, there would be no need. If they win that tells McCain that people are fine with Palin. She will not be impeached because Republicans in the house will block the vote. My opponent is right that the Dems have an opportunity to win 60 seats in the senate this election cycle, 60 seats will make them filibuster proof. However, filibuster proof is not a large enough majority to be veto proof. To be Veto proof Dems need 67 seats in the senate. Dems have a good chance at best to get 60, 67 would be a miracle. So if McCain-Palin does win this election Sarah Palin will serve her full term, unless she Abuses the Powers of VP." This comes down to whether or not Palin will be impeached or fired. On the first one, I would like to point out that an impeachment does not need the President's signature, so the Dems don't need to be veto proof. All they need in the House is a majority, and in the Senate, the 60 seats. That's enough. On firing, I would like to point out that some political analysts (can provide names if you would like) have speculated that McCain will fire Sarah Palin after he is elected, because doing it now would be suicide, but as he will likely be a one-term president, and he knows that Palin is incompetent, he may do the smart thing and fire her. "My opponent believes that if McCain-Palin wins than she is impeachable on grounds of her 'Abuse of Power' in the Trooper-gate Scandal. However this is not true. No other legal action can be taken against Palin for this violation. She can not be removed from office. The report released proves Palin did exert excess force to pressure the Alaskan Public Safety Commissioner to fire or relocate Trooper Wooten in order to satisfy a personal gain. Hence, she abused her power." From the Alaska Code "(a) A public officer may not use, or attempt to use, an official position for personal gain, and may not intentionally secure or grant unwarranted benefits or treatment for any person." "(1) shall order the employee to stop engaging in any official action related to the violation; (2) may order divestiture, establishment of a blind trust, restitution, or forfeiture; and (3) may recommend that the employee's agency take disciplinary action, including dismissal." AS39.52.410 She committed a high crime/misdemeanor. She can be impeached. "Trying to belittle the office of VP is wrong. Because the VP spot may not be one of great power, but it is a position of great potential. Great Potential because the VP could one day be President. My opponent makes a good point that we can not predict the future. We do not know what will happen to McCain. But we do know the facts that are presented for us today. For this exact reason we need to use all of the available information to make the best decision we can. Not voting for McCain because of Palin is the best way to exercise your right to vote. It sends the message that we will not stand for candidates who are not only unqualified but unethical. It tells our Presidential nominees that they need to do better when choosing running mates. By voting for McCain-Palin you send the exact opposite message. It says that you condone these behaviors. It tells political strategists that our candidates do not have to be either ethical or qualified. As a result we are not furthering the our interest as the American people. We will not see candidates improve over time. We are leaving ourselves open for the failures of such candidates. Not voting GOP to prevent Palin from getting the VP spot will send a strong message to our politicians, a message that we the people demand better." This is not true. If I don't vote for McCain, simply because I don't like Palin, the only message I send is "I don't want McCain-Palin as our administration." That doesn't change things. Furthermore, as I said, the potential for Palin to gain great power would in all likelihood never become reality.
