She couldn't be that dumb, could she? She can't name one damn Supreme Court case? One?

I'm concerned they may be sandbagging to lower expectations of her, like they did the week before her speech.

COURIC: Why isn't it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the—it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

I sent the above quote to a friend and she told me it reminded her of this:

Wow!

I went back and forth between the two videos due to a slow connection, watching while the other was loading. A few times I think I forgot which was real and which was a comedy spoof. Final conclusion; if the GOP is to have a prayer in November, McCain/Fey 2008.

I'm trying to figure out what point any of you are trying to make. We've got two realistic choices. Obama/Biden is an extreme leftist choice, the dream ticket of Socialists everywhere. Obama is a smooth talker, but he never really says anything. Biden is hard to understand with his foot constantly in his mouth. McCain/Palin are all over the place, but at least they aren't speeding the wrong way down a one way street.

And I have yet to figure out why people put so much emphasis on debating ability. It's like buying a car because it has nice paint. The President doesn't have to be able to think quickly on his feet. He just doesn't. I'd rather have someone with a little common sense, who recognized his limitations and surrounded himself with people who knew what they were doing and then listened to them. In fact, we would be best served by someone with an 8th grade level understanding of the Constitution who simply eliminated everything the Federal government was doing that wasn't required of it.

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't that describe what we've currently got in office? Of course, I guess the argument would now be made about whether those advisors are actually "knowing what they are doing".

Kyle,
I think you're right and it hasn't worked out very well. But it's down to a choice between another attempt at the concept (which at least has a shot at working) and a cert
