Palin: Let's Not Forget That Street Smart Ain't Book Smart

[maseman]

Gov. Palin is cramming years of academic type information into her craneum right now. She is cramming geography, policy, names and titles of world leaders, positions, tactics, one-liners, rebutals, science, stats, etc. Imagine cramming for your SAT test without going to school after the 5th grade.

This lady is not academic, she's not book smart (hell she wants to ban them), she's not up to speed on foriegn policy, she's not up to date on the economy, she's not up to speed on what the lower 48 face at all. Joe Biden is.

Street smarts is what Gov. Palin has. That's it. Biden has the street smarts AND the Book smarts. This will show through in the debates.

1. How many streets in Wasilla?

But, seriously, its terrifying to think that she is only being prepped with a very one-sided version of history. s

2. Cramming could conceivably work for the debate ... but what about

taking questions from reporters or in town halls with
voters? She's a trained seal -- she can deliver a
"performance" on command -- but if the Thugs get their
way and keep her exposure to the public to a minimum,
we may never get the chance to see that she lacks a
true UNDERSTANDING of issues (which comes out when
someone has to think on their feet).
