This is the type of bs that gives us the worst candidates... everyone is so scared of one candidate, they dont care about actually voting FOR someone.
Is this even possible? Can a new pres even pick a new vice pres? Dont they come from the senate or something like that?
This is how most people regard the political process... our country needs some help :(
I got this as an email forward

Dear Friends,
Last night I had the strangest dream. It was so real, so life-like and
so vivid I woke up in a cold sweat.
Let me describe it to you briefly...
1. Hillary wins the Democratic Party nomination for President of the
United States
2. Naturally, she wants to choose as her running mate someone with a lot
of knowledge and experience in
government and foreign affairs, someone who is a seasoned campaigner who
could bring a lot of strength to the ticket.
Who better than Bill, her husband?!!!
3. Hill and Bill go on to win the election in November and the Democrats
maintain control of the House and the Senate.
4. Hillary is sworn in as President on January 20, 2009. The next day,
after all the inauguration parties are over,
she calls a press conference to make an announcement: she is resigning
as President!!!
Bill, as the Vice President, immediately becomes Pre sident !!!
This is all perfectly legal under the 22nd Amendment to the
Constitution, for it states that no person "may be elected"
as president more than twice". Bill is not being elected for a third
term but is merely serving out the remainder of Hillary's
term --- all 4 years of it.
5. But wait! There's more! The following day Bill calls a press
conference to make an announcement.
He has chosen someone to fill the now vacant Vice President position.
Guess who he picks?
Why, Hillary, of course!!!
Now 'you' stay awake and let me get some sleep !!!!!!!
