That's why, as goofy as she sounded, Palin attracted so much interest.
She's real. She's not a polished bureaucrat. She's just a simple
person with a common sense perspective on the world.


She wasn't intellectually curious, which disqualified her for high
office in my opinion. The woman didn't seem to know anything, and didn't
seem to want to learn. A simple person has no business in the White
House or a heartbeat away from it.

As much as I dislike Cheney, and I dislike him far more than I dislike
Bush, I never thought him intellectually lazy or not smart enough to be
POTUS if he had to take over. Well, actually, he did take over. :)

Palin is not smart enough to be POTUS and she never will be.

But she has great appeal to a certain segment of the rightwing, for sure.
