I'm intitled to my opinion.. I don't have to explain anything to you. At least she knows there are 50 not 57 states.
But I'm just sick of UmmBama TALKING... talk, talk, talk. When has he EVER done anything important? He is the product of the Chicago political machine. When he was a state Senator, he voted "present" so many times it became a joke. If I didn't know better, I'd say he walks around with his finger up his butt, but I know it's up in the air testing the wind.
You're entitled to whatever your opinion may be. I can say that I consider Obama intelligent because of how he constructs sentences, and my wife has pointed out many passages in his book which I consider eloquent and beautiful.
Can you back your opinion, or would you prefer it stand unsupported?
I want to believe Palin is more intelligent than, initially, she seems to strike me. Can you provide any reason for me to do so?

I just watched Katie Couric interview Sara Palin on The CBS Evening News & have come to realize that Mrs. Palin is a bumbling idiot. She makes Dan Quayle look like a mental giant by comparison.

She is probably a very sweet person but she is not by any stretch of the imagination ready to be VP, let alone President. I am sorry but she is totally inarticulate.

I truly do not believe that they are all the same. I truly believe that McCain/Palin is a terrible combination to run this country and my vote is going to reflect that.
I wasn't happy with the choice of Biden but honest to God, I believe that Palin is completely lost in her new position with none of qualities that would help her to rise to the occasion -- and whether I like him or not, I do not think that of Biden.
Very well said, and let me add to this, look at each candidate's and VP candidate's educational background. Palin's is garbage: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sean-gilfi...22726.html

There's a large group of folks out there that will continue to canonize Palin no matter what she says and does. Don't bother to look for rational thought because none is involved. These are the folks who believe the Rapture is imminent, they want creationism taught in public school, they want to censor your reading material, they want to dictate to women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, they demand the right to life for a cluster of undifferentiated cells while they cheer for capital punishment, collateral damage and trophy kills. They are secretly thrilled by the horrible slaughter in the Mideast because they see it as the beginning of the Apocalypse. Palin is one of their own, just as Bush is. McCain knows his only chance is to have these folks on his side. Almighty IMITS, please save us from your acolytes.

"Couric: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
Sarah Palin: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the land-boundary that we have with Canada. It's funny that a comment like that was kinda made to … I don't know, you know … reporters.
Couric: Mocked?
Palin: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.
Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.
Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of. And there…
Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?
Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state. "
Biden has never been this stupid. Just my opinion and I don't have to explain it to anyone.

McCain opted for a Trophy Vice-President and it's becoming more and more obvious every day.
