Did she really say we need to stick behind our North Korean Allies? Wife swears she saw it in a news article.

Please tell me it is a miss print or my wife is drunk.

Total high school mistake. She can't be that stupid, but she could be unable to think her way to saying the right thing.

Gosh golly, I sort of like her, her politics, but she is not presidential material. I really hope I don't have to vote for her.

It's a tie!

Obama = 57 States
Palin = N. Koreal

My sentiment exactly. I still giggle about Obama's 57 states comment.

If we were to judge people's intelligence on gaffes, Biden just might be bright enough to tie his shoes.

Palin mis-states North for South Korea and the rest of the world refers to Obama as President Pantywaist, an earned reputation.

Mmmmmm ...... not even a tie.


Do a Google search on "Obama gaffe" and you will get "694,000 results".

Here's the real difference. Even the NYT's has figured it out:

Palin Support Limited Among Wealthy, College-Educated Republicans
NYT

Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, is among the more natural populist politicians of our time, frequently critiquing elites in the press, the Democratic Party, and the Republican establishment. It is one of the reasons ? along with her working-class background and the sense of authenticity that she can often convey ? that she is so popular with some voters........​

Elite (yes Obama, the elite) vs. classic liberals/conservatives, real Americans. Do we really need to revisit the political continuum?

At your mom's
Palin weakness is that she is not cool.

So the only people who support her are people who don't care if people think they're cool, which regrettably is a very small percentage of the population.

more people support her than any of the media leads people to believe. But, she will not make a good president or vice president.

My sentiments exactly. I think she really could shake up Washington. I'm just not sure I want to give her the chance.
