In this appearance on CBS, Matt Damon breaks down the possibility of Sarah Palin taking over the Presidency, if her 72-year-old running mate were to become seriously ill. Just how likely is that?
When you factor in the logic of Garry South over at Politico.com, President Palin looks like a bone-chilling possibility. He states:
For most of the campaign, McCain has been schlepping around his 96-year-old mother, Roberta, as a testament to the longevity in his family. And God bless her, she seems like a spunky and tart-tongued lady. McCain himself may live to be 100 — and I hope he does. But what he probably would prefer voters not focus on is the paternal lifespans in his family. His father, a Navy admiral, passed away at 70 — two years younger than McCain is today. His paternal grandfather, also an admiral, died at 61, 11 years younger than McCain is today…The average life expectancy for an American male at present is 75.4 years. As of today, McCain is just three and half years short of that statistic — and a presidential term is four years long, as we all know.
Is this lifelong NRA member and PTA Mom-turned-Governor from Alaska is a woman in touch with the needs of our entire country? I’m a woman and I rooted for Hillary, but I have to side with Matt on this one-Governor Palin is a presidential nightmare.
