Again, how did the republican party get in such sad shape that this is where we are today?

We have one candidate who talks about "change" picking one of the top 5 longest serving members of the senate as his VP.

Another who gripes about his opponents lack of experience and then picks a political flyweight.

I'm just disgusted. I'm glad I'm in a posistion that I won't have to deal with 95% of the crap the rest of the country will have to in the next 4-8 years.
All this about having to have been part of the Washington establishment in order to be qualified to be president is BS. The further from that the better. The main qualifiers in my book are character, and being right on the issues. She scores very highly on those two criteria. Now add to the above the fact that she has executive experience (mayor of a city, governor of a state) and you have some pretty nice icing on that cake.
