When her screw ups could cost trillions of dollars, or perhaps even millions of lives?<br /><br />It would be like putting a former community organizer into the Senate, or God forbid into the White House.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-15597737980409681602010-01-16T23:36:30.758-06:002010-01-16T23:36:30.758-06:00electoral politics is based on stuff that really d...electoral politics is based on stuff that really doesnt matter.<br />its sad, but true.<br /><br />and is why Palin as a hunter and shooter made her attractive in my eyes,<br />and why obama being black and harvard did him so well,<br />or kerry kept talking about his war record, while gore couldnt wait to get out there and shoot a shotgun before the cameras.<br /><br />neither of these matter in terms of how they would really govern.<br />but they are links of familiarity that voters can connect with.<br /><br />and voters are often rather stupid and fall for this stuff.<br /><br />and that equals votes.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-29696159670039242892010-01-16T23:35:09.217-06:002010-01-16T23:35:09.217-06:00believe me, they aren't paying attention yet.

Don't be shocked if some voters go against Coakley for such a gaffe. Superficial? Of course.

I wouldn't be writing about it if it weren't.<br /><br />Coakley's not knowing who Schilling wouldn't be that important if it were the only thing she's apparently clueless about. But there's more. Much, much, more.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-54825226999740680262010-01-16T17:05:09.103-06:002010-01-16T17:05:09.103-06:00Um, the election is on Monday.

Who cares whether she knows who Curt Schilling is? Nobody who was already planning to vote Democrat cares.
