She is a bad choice, but the people who like her, don't care. It is as simple as that. They don't care that she isn't erudite or eloquent, because most of them aren't either. My guess is that the educated ones, like Carley Fiorina and others, understand why she was chosen and have decided to support the ticket anyway. If McCain wins the election and manages to survive his term, they know it will be a moot point. Unless the President dies, the VP only goes to state dinners and funerals. All the bad-mouthing by the opposition is only going to make her supporters dig their heels in and defend her more.
