One thing I've noticed about these fools over the years: They have
this weird idea that the President wears Superman Underroos and in
event of a crisis he rips off his suit and flies off to save the
world. They have a "messiah/daddy complex" about the office of the
President, where they think that if they get their guy elected it's
all going to be peaches and cream and they'll wake up with Magic
Ponies outside their windows. Invariably they're disappointed, of
course, because Presidents are only human and can really only execute
the will of Congress and the courts. They have very large staffs who
do 90% of the work and they just set long-term goals.
If President McCain gets shot by a disgruntled Obama supporter, Vice
President Palin steps into his shoes with a Cabinet and a military
staff to advise her. She has a bureaucracy of about 2 Million people
to run the government for her. She would get up to speed quite
quickly. It's happened before and the country hasn't fallen apart;
there's no reason to think it wouldn't happen again. What they're
really arguing is that a WOMAN (Palin) can't do that as well as a MAN
(Biden). "Oh my goodness! She'd get the VAPORS and just faint away!"
is their argument.
This woman once broke her hand and got right back on her husband's
commercial fishing vessel after wrapping it up because she had to.
Sarah Palin is certainly tough enough to play in the boy's league.

Heh. Lefties wonder if Governor Sarah Palin is "tough enough".
They don't seem to get that "moose stewing meat" isn't found at
the local Whole Foods supermarket. In fact, the recipe for all
moose dishes begins with, "First, you track and kill a moose..."
