Tim, From the article, <<By everything we know about Sarah Palin that is factual and verifiable, she is intelligent, honest and competent. So why then do so many people think she isn't? The answer boils down to one and only one thing: her extemporaneous public speaking. The Couric interview. The Gibson interview. The VP debates.>> I think that Palin is intelligent. I just don't get the honest and competent. She is a typical politician, just like all the others, and plays fast and loose with the facts. I will go to factcheck again and what they say about the kilkenny letter about Palin or the previously linked articles where she has played fast and loose with the facts. factcheck.org Again, I see Palin as being intelligent, but I don't see the curiosity about issues that will have her asking the appropriate questions that may give her an answer that may stop her from making a mistake. I see that as the same flaw that Bush has. I believe he is intelligent. But I don't think he had the curiosity to ask the right questions to keep us out of Iraq or having us go into Iraq for the right reasons. The main thing that I think may speak to her lack of competence is the issue of starting to build the sports arena without having clear title to the land. I don't think there is any way that she shouldn't have known about this. If she truly didn't know about this, then she didn't ask the right questions. And if she didn't get the right answers from people, I didn't see anyone getting fired over this when she seems to have fired others over more insignificant offenses(mostly, it seems, those who voice a different opinion). I can't imagine her on a much larger stage. Neal
