Yeah, I've heard the same basic argument over & over - with different particulars... not smart enough, handsome enough, experienced enough etc etc.

And the 'common sense' candidate gets nominated/elected, and the country keep sliding further into crapper.

But go ahead & let the media dictate who's worthy of your vote.

“But go ahead & let the media dictate who’s worthy of your vote.”

Where the hell do you get that from? Just because I don’t think Bachmann has a snowball’s chance in hell means I am some media-following zombie?

I doubt that attitude is going to win many people over to your point of view. “Think like me or you’re brainwashed!”.... not a good campaign strategy.
