true , I don't necessarily trust polls. .....at the same time as they tell the pollsters they are voting for Obama.

Fair enough, me thinks, Doris, Julia and 2020 may not like to see a women in the Vice-Presidential position, who knows. We saw how they hammered another lady, on their own team as well.
Noirua, I thought you had more sense than to say something so utterly silly.
I would dearly love to see a woman in the VP or President's position if that woman displayed the appropriate qualities and experience.
In the early days of the primaries, I hoped Hillary would get the nomination.
But then she displayed her tenuous relationship with the truth in describing her arrival under fire in Bosnia (or somewhere in that part of the world) which was a complete fabrication. So, strike Hillary out.
I don't care one bit what gender either the President or the Vice President is.
Simply has nothing to do with it. My objection to Ms Palin is for many other reasons which I have previously made clear.
would have thought that McCain is the basket case here
Surpised none of you avid media watchers on this thread did not pick this up. Matthew Dowd venting his spleen at the gimmick of picking Sarah Palin. Is the intelligensia of the Republican Party turning against the 'maverick 'silver fox'. T'was not the time for gimmicks Macca!
"They didn't let John McCain pick the person he wanted to pick as VP," Dowd declared during the Time Warner Summit panel. "When Sarah Palin got picked instead of Joe Lieberman, which I fundamentally believed would have given John McCain the best opportunity in this race... as soon as he picked Palin, that whole ready versus not ready argument was not credible."
Saying that Palin was a "net negative" on the ticket, he went on: "[McCain] knows, in his gut, that he put somebody unqualified on the ballot. He knows that in his gut, and when this race is over that is something he will have to live with... He put somebody unqualified on that ballot and he put the country at risk, he knows that."

Julia I have yet to see women from the educated classes embrace any women who run for a conservative party. Its odd. It seems as if only left wing women are acceptable to the 'doctors wives" for want of a better expression. I hope you are not a doctor's wife and if you are I apologise, and no offence meant if you are.

Longest procedure that I have been in myself - 3-finger digit re-attachment. I was working the over-night when the clock turned bach an hour - so nine and one-half hours. If I had to pee, I excused myself for a couple of minutes (no one to relieve me). Most of the procedure was tedious work under the microscope
ANDREW DENTON: No. What’s the longest operation you’ve ever had?
DR CHARLIE TEO: Ah 26 hours.
ANDREW DENTON: And you have to go all the way through?
DR CHARLIE TEO: I was the actual, I was actually the Fellow and the Consultant came in as in America about midnight and asked if I wanted a break and I said yeah that would be great and then I went out and had a toilet break and I was just about to have drink and they called me back in again because he’d hit a major bleeder and asked me to go in and take over again, so basically a about a five minute break and then I had to take over until about 9 o’clock the next morning.
Modern Text used in many Medical Schools
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
Written in 1964 by Louis Lasagna, Academic Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University, and used in many medical schools today.
"Mr. Ayers is not involved in my campaign. He has never been involved in this campaign," Obama said.
"You launched your political campaign in Mr. Ayers' living room," McCain responded.
"That is absolutely not true," Obama retorted.
"Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush," McCain said curtly at one point during a lively exchange on economic policies. "If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago."
Obama's response: "If I've occasionally mistaken your policies for George Bush's policies, it's because on the core economic issues that matter to the American people - on tax policy, on energy policy, on spending priorities - you have been a vigorous supporter of President Bush."
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/15/MN9B13HN21.DTL&type=politicsObama calmly deflected McCain's jabs, saying, "The fact that this has become such an important part of your campaign, Sen. McCain, says more about your campaign than it says about me."
Obama never appeared to be knocked off stride, often smiled during McCain's attacks and spoke directly to the camera.
The Republican, often on the offense and on the attack, tended to speak to Schieffer.
Exactly. This reinforces my remarks above where I said I'd love to see a capable woman in charge, either in the US or here for that matter. Sarah Palin, sadly, does not fit this description.Oh come on!
What about Maggie Thatcher??
What you should say is that women from the educated classes would have trouble embracing an uneducated bozo from the backwoods like Sarah Palin.

GG, I'm laughing at your comment because - curiously enough - I was in fact a doctor's wife! But I acknowledge that it's a common expression meant to represent reasonably affluent, educated, intelligent women, rather than specifically women who are actually married to doctors. The expression could equally have been "lawyers' wives".
So, Green, I don't think you need to worry that GG was having a go at doctors.
Green08 is either not Australian or woeful uninformed if he/she, (actually a linguist girlfriend of mine reckons she's a he, though probably Austraian)...
