I would think that in order to fairly compare the parties nominees, we'd have to compare presidential to presidential and VP to VP. OR rep presidential AND VP to Dem presidential AND VP.

I'm not "in love with" either pair, so what I have to go by is which I feel best represents my personal beliefs and ethics and would best represent my viewpoint in my stead. Experience to me isn't as important as the fact that they surround themselves by people who know what they don't and their basic personalities and temperaments are suitable for representing the image I would like the world to have of when they think US of A.
