Bring back the runner-up

Thursday night is why I think America should go back to the old system of choosing vice presidents: the runner-up in the presidential election. True, there would probably be more assassination attempts, but those are the two people that America wants most. It would also be the greatest example in the political world illustrating bi-partisanship. It would truly be the executive branch’s responsibility to lead all factions of the country. The maximum number of constituents would be represented properly. Plus, we wouldn’t have this farce of a debate going on where none of what Gov. Palin or Sen. Biden said was all that consequential.
