OK, as I said before, I know people on FR love her, but it seems SP has taken herself out of the running. I don’t think she even has a chance of winning the Republican nomination now, but time will tell. The press has done its job on her, and the American people do not think she is capable. It may not be fair, but that is the perception.
As for Obama, how he ever managed to persuade people that is is capable, is beyond me. Just because I don’t think SP has a chance, does not mean I am a lib.
And my perception is that you are a quivering mass of lemon jello. Maybe you could start a Quivering Mass of Yellow Jello Ping list so that all the handwringing folk can gather in one place.
