It's the feel-good ticket of this century: Sarah "Caribou Barbie" Palin and Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher. Proof-positive to the evangelical, tea-bagging, gun-toting Republican electorate that yes, even inarticulate, uninformed morons can, conceivably, lead this country (possibly to ruin and international ignominy) but lead it nonetheless.

We'll have a Veep who carries out detailed conversations with God and bases policy decisions on the advice of an imaginary friend. By the way, when asked, God "was like, 'No'."

And we'll have a POTUS who can't finish a term as governor of ALASKA and converses in labyrinthine nonsense-talk. I was listening to NPR on the way into the office and Palin was the subject of conversation: Is she priming herself for national office, or is she overwhelmed personally? Much was made of her "unusual speaking style." I would counter that Palin's speaking style is no more a style than Miss South Carolina's 2007 answer to why most "U.S. Americans" can't find their own country on a world map is an actual answer.

To wit: "We have got to make sure these weapons of mass destruction, that nucular weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able to use them. So we have got to put the pressure on Iran."

It's a possibility. The horror.

I suppose there are no local stories to write about, huh?

I think we can pretty much bet that about 80% of Tennessee voters would go for her. She's not very bright and Tennesseans are not really all that bright either. A match made in heaven.

Sarah Palin and Ward Cammack are very similar. They speak in a disjointed, rambling style. They throw around just enough jargon to try to sound "smart," but they never provide enough depth to show that they truly understand what they are saying.
Also, they both voted for George W. Bush twice.

The main reason these old Republicans like her is for her looks. They think she is Milf material and they want to bag her. That's the bottom line. Fact is, she's batshite crazy. and if she can't handle ethics inquiries and public pressure, TV show jokes and one on one interviews as governor of frickin' Alaska, and can't even finish a full term, she sure as heck has no business in the White House.

The will of the people elects presidents. That and the electrical college, or whatever it is called.
So, yes, she can be president. Just get the batshite vote lined up and yr good to go!

The woman is a whack job. A narcissist and a total whack job. She is manic and grandiose. But those people often end up in high places. They usually do not end well and take down the countries, people and organizations that they prey upon. But don't underestimate her or overestimate the intelligence of the American people.
