Whoa, whoa...I said 'important'. There was nothing in there about it being a good thing. I didn't even intend for it to be a joke. You read too much into what wasn't there.
Let's seet, the title says "McCain dead of a heart attack" which would be an important issue since he is currently the nominee for the Republicans so when you say " you tricked me" followed by "I thought this was something important", It somewhat came off as a sick joke. But I will be honest and admit I may have read more than it was intended and for that I apologize zoo. We may not always agree but I can respect your views and admit when I am wrong.
I'm not so crazy or heartless as to celebrate the death of someone over political reasons...or any reasons, actually.
Can I get back to you on that one? 
I don't even begin to pretend that I know anything about politics, but your post has no ground beneath it. I truely believe you are just another die hard republican. Prove me wrong. Give me a logical explanation to your hypothetical playing out of the two parties.
Well, I was not trying to prove any scientific matter here and I was not using any polls or any facts to support my comments. I was simply trying to point out just how idiotic this article is because it's a shame to look for "what if" scenarios just because McCain is old as a way to make Palin look bad.
Charles: I have to wonder why you feel that a little joke in innapropriate.
Shame on you for even asking. It seems posting on here is not the only first time thing for you.
I also would like to know how you can go as far as to say that, "goes the distance, even enjoying the death of members of the opposing party, to reach their goals."
I guess you never heard about the comments some Democrats have made enjoying the death of their opponenets just to win. You need to keep up with things dude.
When the author clearly states that it is purely a hypothetical situation. The problem with this election is that both sides are introducing candidates that have not been given a chance before. Merely a political strategy to gain voters. Therefore we are not getting the best candidates on both sides. In closing, come out of your biased shell and worry about something more important than a "joke" as you state
You need to spend more time on this site reading and commenting before you go around accusing people of anything. As you mentioned you are first timer. So far I am not impressed but then I started just like you so there is still hope for you.
