Stupidity is not a liability
This is a quote I heard this morning. Someone talking about the ridiculous problems we have in this country with our economy quoted Napoleon "Stupidity is not a liability for Politicians" It's frightening how well it fits.
There's a new tv show called "Life on Mars" about a cop who gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. The look of horror and disbelief on his face when he encounters blatant, unapologetic prejudice is how I feel watching Palin. It's painful to realize that this person could be President someday. I was so naive and dumb to think it just couldn't get worse than Bush.
I got an e-mail from a friend who said that there's going to be a reverse Bradley effect in this election. [The Bradley effect is where people don't want to appear prejudice so they said in the exit poll that they voted for the popular black candidate for Governor, but in the booth they voted for the white guy.] Republicans will tell all their friends at church that they would never vote for Obama and then in the privacy of the voting booth, they'll realize that its the only choice that makes any sense.
Napoleon ended up losing and in exile, right?

There is evidence of the Bradley effect. Where is the evidence of the reverse except for wishful thinking?
Napoleon was exiled twice.

Evidence may have surfaced in as many as twelve primary elections this year.
