If Palin were half as logical and articulate, I would consider voting for her. Palin is smarter, but not as well educated. And Maddow is more articulate, but solely because she is better educated. Plain is FAR more "logical" than Maddow, however. You don't get this, but there are almost no "logical" liberals. That's why on this thread the conservatives run over you guys on a daily basis. Your arguments are louder and more obtuse, but never as logical. The few "logical" liberals, e.g., Chris Hitchens, have essentially moved toward the center precisely that's because where the logic takes them. So, you have Tom Friedman, for example, supporting the Iraq War because it was totally logical. Politically, of course, it left him exposed and like all liberals, the politics eventually carried the day. Hitchens, OTOH, is a truly intelligent liberal who actually understands where uncontrolled liberalism takes one. A liberal who believes that you can negotiate a deal with Iran or DPRK to stop their nuclear weapons programs is not thinking logically. We know that cannot be done and that only hard power will resolve these issues.
