Well said, CBB. Dr. Sowell has been warning us for months and Palin has been on scene only weeks, sometimes it makes one wonder.
If I may offer a Devil's advocate position here, wasn't this the very thing that many on the left said about Reagan--i.e.: that he won convincingly twice because we as an electorate bought into marketing and so forth?
Admittedly, I was on the Palin bandwagon for quite a while before she even got the VP/running mate nod, and I'd like to think I had more than mere libido in mind when I did. What does it say about the state of the two current political parties (and possibly the electorate itself) when the GOP running mate just might be more fit for office than the other three on the two respective tickets?
