Were you actually watching any of the campaign? Never mind.

She's a mouth-breather. Probably has to put L and R on her shoes. I do give her props for departing from the GOP in Alaska script and getting to the oil companies. Her popularity has been on the wane, seriously, even before she was nominated for Veep. During the course of the campaign, her positives went down and her negatives more than doubled over the course of just a few weeks. I'm betting she ain't as popular in the state now as she was in September. Moreover, now she has real difficulties up there -- oil prices declining is bad news for Alaska, especially since there's no real alternative to the economy there except federal earmarks and whoops! I don't think that looks so good for the next few years.

If she manages to overcome all these difficulties, then I will surely give her her props and say that she is educable. At the moment, however, I'm prone to agreeing with Bill Maher, who said in response to Paul Begala's comment that Palin was just ignorant, not dumb: "She's 44 years old. Anyone still ignorant at that age is stupid."
