Mr. Herbert,
With respects, regarding - "it’s hard to believe that someone with Ms. Palin’s limited skills could possibly be playing a leadership role"? Well, actually sir, it is not that big a reach for some of us.
Most of the rest of the world has been nothing less than awed and dumbstruck these past eight years by who you picked the last two times. So in a way, it's not really a question of will you, or won't you. It's a question of please-be-to-God NOT AGAIN!
The vibrancy, dynamism and hallmarks of democracy that used to represent America have been damaged enough. Once your society was renowned for its ingenuity and know-how; increasingly though it is being recognized for its electoral absurdities.
Surely the time has come for moose hunting 'Joe Six-Pack' to realize he can't keep knocking up Hockey-Mom in a society without universal health insurance, without an decent school system, without an environmental plan, and without protection for the middle and lower classes. Of course, there were probably observers north of the Roman Empire 1500 years ago like me who said the same thing as that declining polity kept picking in-bred, myopic, and syphilitic Cesar's on its road to oblivion. But, hey what did they know?
