Come on. You think her intellect got her there, or because the GOP thought it would be great way to get the female vote? Surely, it’s a combination of several factors, but I don’t see intelligence being the greatest factor. Political strategy? Sounds more logical.
I agree with you about blue collar politicians, but this woman is an honest to god moron. She is just flat out ignorant on too many issues, which is (experience and worldliness) the same damn metric people are using to bash Obama (who I am not entirely fond of, either).

I find the irony in your post amusing.[/quote]
You forget she won her governership against the GOP establishment.
I put up a list earlier (in this thread, a few pages back) of some of the reasons I’ve concluded that she is rather ignorant. It includes a Fox News report that, at the outset of the 2008 presidential campaign, she did not understand that Africa was a continent. Not that she slipped up and said it wasn’t–that SHE ACTUALLY HAD TO BE SAT DOWN AND EXPLAINED THE CONCEPT. Assuming the report was true: that takes a level of stupidity so profound as to be almost impressive.
The list also included her inability during an interview to name a single piece of literature she reads/a single supreme court case other than Roe v. Wade.

Yep, I believe that’s what you know of her. No doubts in my mind whatsoever.
Eat your carrots, tyke. Eat 'em all gone.

Address the substance of my post or shut the fuck up. Can you prove any of those allegations wrong? No? Ok, good to know.
LOL at all the people who said Palin was stupid for not knowing anything about Paul Revere and American history when in fact she was right all along. Who are the dunces now? If this woman is so stupid why is the left so blindingly terrified of her? I suppose only the super brilliant people know we have 57 states.

Excellent post. Where are all the apology’s from the press and those who said she was wrong? I won’t hold my breath. Now if Obama had said it they would have lauded him as being so brilliant and knowing so much about American history.
What people should be doing right now is asking themselves where Obama came from and what makes him so qualified for the job as President?
Nevermind that the article actually praises Palin as writing better than most CEOs after you click on the link. And nevermind that most of her messages were sent from her blackberry. No media bias here. Click on the fucking comments and you can see that most didn’t actually read the article, just the misleading headline. By no means is she the smartest person in the world, but give me a break. I would venture to say the an 8th grade level is pretty fucking high when using a blackberry.
