About as productive as imagining that the beeopster might ever concur that a manifestly unprepared (and perhaps unpreparable) 'candidate' was/Is: a manifestly unprepared candidate. Hmmmm.. just.. maybe.. a Real Brain, only needs polishing.
Could Happen, eh? Like say, Armageddon? Let's put it this way, beepster -
You are here seriously defending the character/competence/Possibilities of this individual, as-if all discernible negatives derive mainly from the politically-motivated or ignorance-spawned SPIN of various meeja parties
(MSM, Librul-'press' ... W.T.F. is your fav exculpatory snark.)
In all this specious What-If? minutiae, attached to profound analysis of veep-dom, back to the Federalist Papers -- that which you suggest ""Maaay.." Be the underpinning of her so-overtly incoherent remarks on the topic.
The implication is obvious:
You are, in-effect maintaining that S.P. is/was could-be a Contender for National Office.
(If, perhaps only? she do a 4-year crash-course in basic civics, geography, geopolitics, history, science, syntax and the rest of a BA curriculum - real soon.)
Your 'analysis' is thus, in-credible, exactly as limned so well by drook. This, in that you ascribe no ability to each individual here (or anywhere) to observe, listen, deduce and -in many cases- fairly conclude from this process, that:
This is a lightweight; this is a person whose uncuriosity matches or even exceeds that of GW Bush, formerly the Platinum Standard of dis-Interest in finding-out-stuff. This is a person who babbles / fills space randomly -- whenever encountering a question about which she apparently comprehends near-Nothing. (And such questions have been seen to be: many and varied.)
We. Saw. Them. Posed. and 'answered.' Remember?
En fin - this is a one who has been shown to dissemble, then deny what she has just said! (apparently unaware of the saying of it / or of the meaning of what she just said. Repeatedly.)
People decide from all life experience; we do so, aided by today's unprecedented access to audio/video depictions of the actual person speaking, trying to communicate via all displayed body-language. The noise of the chattering class will count little: when you can SEE for YOURSELF, a person in action.
What *you* have seen, as would follow from any serious acceptance of your postulate:
is that S.P. COULD have managed the Presidency, and within that unKnowable period of McCain's life expectancy.
And since you, much like the Decider, rarely-if-ever? reverse-self, no matter how much contradictory material subsequently surfaces -- I conclude that you see real-Different-ly from most. What I conclude is that your manifestly broken BS-detector outweighs any of your arrogated skillz at abnormal psych evals. I will discount your evaluations accordingly.
As, frequently I do.
(And anticipate your fervid support of the Palin/Cheney ticket in '12, Obama probably having disgraced self by failing to clean the Stables, restore Prosperity and return the Republic to its former pre-'00 semi-pristine $$ condition. While saving the endangered Golden Parachutes from decimation.)
