    I think I have a little French in me because I’ve thought to myself in the past that I would intentionally vote wrong on that show if someone used the poll early in the game for a simple question.

    And also, I’m highly critical of Palin and the absurd lack of ability she has so far shown for the position of VPOTUS.

    I have thought that the “everyman” issue, that anyone should/could be able to be president or vice-president is a factor in Palin’s rise. And many of the people who excuse her lack of knowledge and ability are evangelical christians who will excuse her simply based on the fact that she is one of them. I know because I was one and that’s exactly how I would have thought.
