A majority of of PBS vieweres polled here http://www.pbs.org/cgi-registry/poll/poll.pl believe that Sarah Palin is qualified to be a VP.

A university professor from PA interviewed yesterday on NPR said that she was a Clinton supporter but she does not belive that Obama has the qualifications so she is leaning toward MacCain.

These are not your typical hicks from the flyover country, but college educated folk who should know better.  This is the best proof that this country is populated by delusional morons quite incapable of weighing ideaa, and whose whol ethinking is done in terms of emotions.  Wojtek

--------------------------------------------------------------- "When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost. [...] All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men." - HL Mencken ----------------------------------------------------------------
