Jamie, hon...I don't think your brain has defogged yet. You were really great in Halloween and Halloween H20 but you just don't have a head for politics. Yeah "relatability" is a pretty nice side benefit. It's actually refreshing to hear from someone who's not an elitist snob like your average Hollywood airhead, Marxist Media Moron, or metrosexual politician thinking they can speak for me. And I think I want to cringe every time some liberal political hack says "the American people don't want (insert liberal talking point)". So yeah, someone who shares my values and realizes I'm intelligent enough to know what I want for myself is wonderful. BUT, the reason why she will be quite capable of debating Obama and Biden (and why you and I can't) is EXPERIENCE! She's been in the political arena for a while now...she's worked her way UP the ladder from city counsel to mayor to governor to VP-to-be. In between she's had a debate here and there, she's had to go up against hardcore politicians, oil tycoons, entrenched bureaucracies...somehow I think she'll be okay. Besides if she's not up to the challenge you've got nothing to worry about.
Oh, one question though...why is it that you Hollywood types with all you've been given...looks, talent, etc., ALWAYS end up being druggies and alcoholics and then with such sterling credentials think you can tell the rest of us what's right and wrong. With all due respect...you're much better at horror than you are at political punditry.
