Yeah, even though Palin has never said or done anything as stupid as Obama all you have to do is claim she has to make Obama whole.
Here is another link. The other appears to be broken. >>The hypothesized phenomenon was tested in a series of experiments performed by Justin Kruger and David Dunning, both then of Cornell University.[2][5] Kruger and Dunning noted earlier studies suggesting that ignorance of standards of performance is behind a great deal of incompetence. This pattern was seen in studies of skills as diverse as reading comprehension, operating a motor vehicle, and playing chess or tennis. Kruger and Dunning proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will: tend to overestimate their own level of skill; fail to recognize genuine skill in others; fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy; recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they can be trained to substantially improve. Dunning has since drawn an analogy ("the anosognosia of everyday life")[1][6] to a condition in which a person who suffers a physical disability because of brain injury seems unaware of or denies the existence of the disability, even for dramatic impairments such as blindness or paralysis.<< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect
Not being partisan, I'd say it applies to Obama, Palin, and Bachmann equally. Much as I dislike Obama, the Republicans are sure to repeat 2008 and come up with a candidate as unpalatable as John McCain was.
I don't know, I think they could very well come up with an attractive, intelligent, and well-spoken candidate, that will spur the public to get behind the interests of the rich.
