Quote from: Cain on July 19, 2009, 05:52:26 PMIsn't that to be expected? In the same way Obama appealed to those who primarily wanted a President who could think, Palin appeals to people who primarily want to feel good about themselves for aesthetics and for not thinking too much. It doesn't require major backing. And it doesn't require that Palin is actually smart enough to front an intentional split personality. If you accept the premise, then emergence will do the leg-work of finding someone who completes the picture.
Allegedly, she is smarter in person than she appears on the news. That is what I have heard from people, at least, including those who don't politically agree with her.
I would hope so, anyway. Someone apparently that dumb shouldn't be able to rise that high without major backing.
