为什么不qualify呢?我怎么一直以为美国副总统,甚至总统都是个人就能当呢,只要不嫌累的晃:)至于我们愿不愿意谁当是另一回事哈。没投这个,省得捣乱:) - Re: Vote!posted on 10/09/2008

I also feel it is weird to have this even split.
But if she is not trusted by half of the people, it already means something. - Re: Vote!posted on 10/09/2008

She could be a heartbeat away from the presidency. She is certainly not qualified for that job if McCain dies. - posted on 10/09/2008
Qualification aside, I question this "a heartbeat away" saying. Obama's mother died of cancer at 55(?). Speaking of risks and odds, they are equal, to say the least.

Sorry, I'm not sure I get it. Who are "they"? Do you mean Obama and McCain are equal? If so, I trust Biden much more than Palin.

Between Palin and Biden I am more confident in the latter as well. But that's not the point. McCain's mother is in her 90s and still kicking strong. Those who are using this "heartbeat away" to scare voters are, well, you get the idea.
Then the question is, why the running mate is more experienced that the presidential candidate. How did that happen? Does it matter? Whoever becomes the president, Biden has his chance to put his experience to good use. The president, be it democratic or republican, relies on his/her thinktank.

能当和当好不一样,她不qualify 当个好总统。要说坐椭圆办公室那张椅子,谁不会啊? - posted on 10/09/2008
好像宪法规定,只要超过35岁,美国本土出生,连续14年以上是美国永久居民,就 qualify 做美国总统和副总统了。
条文上没写,如果要做副总统,首先要被大多数人(包括 gz)信任,总统搭档必须要身体健康。。。
这个 "vote" 设计的不好。应该是
Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to be a “好” Vice President of the United States?
现在这个 vote,我就投了 Yes。也许那个网站根本没算票数,设计的就是要永久显示 49% vs 49%,gives everyone something to think about。

如果这个民测是问是否满足当副总统的最低条件,那么这是白痴设计给白痴投的。
美国的监狱里美国出生年满35岁连续住在美国监狱里14年的至少上万吧?都能当总统,别说副总统了。 - Re: Vote!posted on 10/09/2008
小时候听说入党的条件是“。。。凡年满十八岁的中国公民。。。“,就想,其实入党并不难嘛!当然那时侯岁数小,比较白吃一点(更可能是中共太白吃)。
如果PBS想问陪林是否美国生,是否够三十五岁,那也太白吃了,下次不给捐钱了!可转念一想,也许PBS不至于如此白吃,那大概是别的什么人太白吃了? :-) - Re: Vote!posted on 10/10/2008
那 Bush 算不算 qualify 做总统呢?做州长的 Terminator 呢?
需要什么基本的 qualification 才能 qualify 呢?
我看这个民意调查是完全主观的。支持她的人就说她合格,不支持她的就说她不合格。 - posted on 10/10/2008
找来这个,应该是natural-born吧?不然我也qualify了。
