As the dates for both the Democrat and Republican National Conventions draw nearer, the 2016 Presidential election picture is starting to become more defined. With Bernie Sanders ' chances approaching a mathematic improbability, Hilary Clinton 's road to the Democrat nomination is all but clear.

Saturday Night Live On August 29th, 2008 Senator John McCain announced his decision of electing Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential Candidate.
