How many straws are you grasping for here? Do you really write off her inability to answer simple political questions as a failure to be able to make up bullshit? Is it not important to have some perspective on the comings and goings of the supreme court? Is it hard to answer which newspapers, blogs, or other news sources you are fond of for information? Should you not know the voting record of financial oversight of your running mate during a significant time in our nation's economy? The answer to these questions is nuance? Really? Wow….

I don't think a vulnerability to that is specific to the left though. Actually, I think the Democratic ticket is better qualified than the republican ticket for a completely different set of reasons. I'll give one example... Barack Obama: Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations. Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude Joseph Biden: University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science. Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.) vs. John McCain: United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899 Sarah Palin: Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism I agree with you in principle that ability to make stuff up and sound confident about it is not intelligence.
