The American people are stupid

As much as Obama and Biden are correct in their portrayal of the Palin record on earmarks and pork barrel spending (she really really loved it in AK), the US public seem to want to believe in the Original Mavericks. I am afraid that with the injection of Palin into this campaign means that policy doesn't matter anymore, apparently neither does experience, but it is again a return to who would you like to have dinner with rather than who is competent enough to lead this country through the end of our overseas adventures, return the rule of law, and help fix the flagging economy. I think the original maverick has taken us back to people voting on social issues. That is what he wanted for our political discourse in 2000, right?

I just hope the press doesn't back off of looking at Palin's record because they afraid of being tut-tutted by the McCain campaign.
