Now, when I say "he looked okay," I did not know he was a liar and a cheat. In contrast, people knew Palin was a moron when they flocked to vote for her, and they know it today. Is she viable in your party? 'Cause I don't think Edwards is in my party, now that we know what we know.

Marion Barry was "viable" in your party, so you know, you might just want to keep it zipped.

and polls everywhere says Palin cannot be elected, so I'm not sure what you mean by viable.

The fact that he was a used car sales man (read, borderline liar/cheat) was just as evident as Palin's stupidity.

exactly. the dumb R's can't see through Palin, but the smart ones do, even the dull normal do.

the dumb Dems didn't see through Edward, ok. But the smart ones didn't either (although since he was running against Gore then Kerry maybe he seemed not so vapid and evil in comparison?)

Oh, please -- you really want to compare local candidates to national ones?

Okay. I'll see the D's Marion Barry and raise you the R's David Duke. Or maybe you can stop making stupid analogies, for once?

Can't be elected, or can't win the primaries? Only one of those relates to whether the party sees her as viable.

Sure, and that was a reason why I voted against him. But Hank is pretending that everything known now was known then. You aren't, but Hank is.

A quick google search shows that Palin's "favorable" rating amont Rs was 76% a year ago, and around 60% now.

So are you saying that the marjority of Rs are below "dull normal"?

My personal opinion? Those of us that don't label ourselves as either dem or r on average have an IQ about 23 points higher than those who are pure dem or r. No offense. Of course that is average. Like I'm sure you're 13 points or so above penske even though he is politically free thinking.

If people want to compare the slimey sell-your-mother-for-the-right-price, excessively vain policians of each party, I think the right comparison is Edwards to Romney. Both smart, both rich, both different species of slime mold.

Yeah, well, Barry, who's very particular animal who appeals to a very particular category of voter is a peculiar way to say anything about the numerousness of any category of Dem voter other than the Barry voter.

I'm sure this is true, though of late I think the Rs have been making a very serious play for the overwhelming bulk of the stupid voters. It's a targetted constituency at this point - and that's as clear as the sound of Paul Revere's bells!

And there are smart Rs pushing Romney, right?
