>> Judging Who is Smart< Tim - An interesting view, though I would have to quibble with the author's dismissive take on the Troopergate situation. He claims that the Governor "committed no crime." In fact, the Branchflower report found that Sarah Palin abused her power in violation of a state ethics statute. Remarkably, she claimed that the report said nothing of the kind. I've read it. She's lying. While it wasn't a crime for her to lie about the report, it does bring her honesty into question. Also, while there have been some false Palin quotes on creationism circulated, there are some real ones circulating as well. In any case, I don't personally think that Sarah Palin is stupid. Nor do most of the criticisms I have read of her, by people from all across the political spectrum, include the word "stupid." The woman has charisma to burn, and she is not incompetent. But that doesn't mean all those people who have questioned her readiness to be VP are incorrect. I'm not going to rehash all the reasons they've put forward, but I will say that their objections amount to more than mere criticism of her ability to speak english without a teleprompter. - Allen
