This might come as a shock to you, but my vote changed last night. Watching that debate was like watching Scanners for the first time. My husband and I had to turn the TV off mid way and send the children out of the room.
I, too, felt sorry for McCain. I don't know who I'm voting for, but it's not going to be McCain and it won't be Obama. That puts me in third party territory which would mean the dreaded "wasted vote" but I can't vote for Palin as long as she's alongside that, ahem, man.
He came off as elderly, possibly suffering signs of early dementia, possibly Alzheimers, and he looked frail and weak. Come to think of it, he looked just like Bush, add a few years. While I don't abhor the idea of Palin becoming President, when you're living in a Post-9/11 world, you have to think about the delays our government would face going through the chain of succession and dealing with the death of the President, which for McCain I'd say is imminent. We can't afford that and it makes this ticket totally insolvent.
I'm very emotional right now...
