"Thank God, she's not going to have to be president from Day One. McCain's
going to be alive and well."
—Sen. Joe Lieberman, a John McCain supporter, when asked whether Sarah
Palin is ready to be commander-in-chief. Lieberman later reassured voters
about McCain's health, saying, "I talked to doctors and insurance actuaries.
And they tell me based on McCain's age, his health, including skin cancer,
he'll live till at least 85."
