And one more thing. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. That is confusing knowledge with intelligence. This always bugs me wherever I hear it. Someone can have knowledge and be stupid. Someone can be really smart, but not have that much knowledge.
Sarah Palin AND Barrack Obama strike me both as intelligent people. However both are seriously lacking in knowledge in various areas. The reason I say both are intelligent stems from the belief that usually good speakers are intelligent. Both Palin and Obama are very quick witted and clever in their speech. They both have the ability to think fast and react quickly to ideas.
However due to their interests and backgrounds they have both acquired knowledge in different areas, most of which is useless to be President.
Again, someone can have knowledge about all sorts of things without being terribly bright. And some of the brightest people in the world (think of an autistic savant) can have little to no knowledge of anything.
I really wish people would cool it with saying how "dumb" Sarah Palin is because the definition you are setting for what dumb is, Barack Obama is a freaking moron.

Palin doesn't have the knowledge or intelligence to be President imo
Well that is your opinion. I have seen nothing about her that would say she is not intelligent. BTW, most con men and street hustlers are highly intelligent and live on their wits. Again, people who have the ability to speak well generally test very high on intelligence. I have seen very very few cases in life where this is not so. Have you ever been conned before by someone who is not intelligent? LOL. It simply doesn't work.
Sarah Palin had to go shopping for a college that would eventually graduate her. Of course there are very intelligent people who never attended college or, if they did, they didn't bother to graduate for one reason or another. However, Palin seemed bent on finishing and evidently barely managed to do so.
There is no evidence of Palin being quick-witted in anything other than scripted speeches. Outside of that, she sticks to her talking points, administering whichever one seems to suit the occasion. She has shown neither much knowledge of any kind nor an ability to think on her feet. And those canned talking points are not substitutes for thinking on one's feet. I can't wait to see her engage in a presidential candidacy debate. THAT will be must-see TV.
Maverick, I know you are trying to come across as objective, but frankly, it's not working.
You realize that everything you just said about Palin you could also say about Obama. I'm just sayin...
