As I have observed this season's political parade of primaries, caucuses, and now debates, I have rather smugly recognized that the concept of a minority or a woman being our President holds no concern for me whatsoever. I am not afraid that the election of Barack Obama will lead to an Andrew Jackson style romp through the White House or if Hillary had been the nominee, I don't feel estrogen carriers everywhere would have posted bounties on testosterone carriers in a bid to control our population.
However, after having watched Sarah Palin's performances in interviews and the debate, I can tell you I am deathly afraid that stupid will once again inhabit the reins of power at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. One would think our nation's experiment with perpetual ignorance would have lost its popularity even with the anti-intelligent evangelical crowd in this country. Then again, I could be wrong. These are the people who knowingly voted for Bush twice when they disagreed with his policies and recognized his IQ placed him somewhere between Dan Quayle and a squash because he was a good Christian. They are apparently under the impression that Jesus finds intelligence and rational thought to be offensive....
