Big difference between a slip of the tongue (north/south), and stating that Poland was a totally free country imo.

Depends on the person...if it were Reagan confusing the Koreas, no prob., he was old and EVERYONE had no doubt as to what he thought of the Communists. Others don’t have as much room. It’s not us that will change our vote in Nov. 2012, it’s the people not on this site...that’s who I worry about.
We’ll see if DeMint (or someone equivalent...of which there are few) steps up - and then see if they slip up. If they do, then yea, it becomes a non-discriminator. But if DeMint can keep things straight, he’ll be MUCH TOUGHER to beat than someone (anyone) who slips up once in a while. Like I say, we’re talking Republicans here, we have VERY LITTLE room to slip up (particularly compared to Democrats)...maybe we would like it to be different, but it is not.
Sarah Palin didn't.

Good point, plus the completely different, and more adversarial news orgs today.
