I disagree that she isn’t smart enough, experienced enough and knowledgeable enough (she is), though I agree that she is NOT polished or electable.

Just change yur mantra to Bachmann is and your nightmare will become a sweet dream.

smart, experienced, knowledgeable, polished, electable.

At this point of the process, Reagan was not granted any of those characteristics, except for polished. And the reference to polish was negative, he was just a B-move actor reading his note cards.

Electable is a funny idea. Republicans thought Reagan was not electable, and McCain and Dole were. Few thought Obama was electable early in the primaries. And certainly experienced and knowledgeable did not apply to Obama.

I'm more interested in who's the more principled candidate, and whether their principles agree with mine.
