So does Star Trek but neither of which are about politics so they are hardly indicators on the quality of people who support Palin politically.

I don't recall Chelsea, Barbara, Jenna, Sasha or Malia being a central theme of Clinton, Bush or Obama's campaigns.

You have a selective memory then Mookie. All of them used their family to promote their campaigns and after reaching office. Do I really have to dig up some photo op shots?

You're missing the point. AVG implied that popularity implies intelligence. I presented a counter argument.

You can probably find photos of presidents with their family up on stage going back 100 years. But I don't recall things like this: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle4837644.ece

But we're not talking about just any kind of popularity are we. She has a political following. Nobody supports a looser unless their message is compelling.

Actually it displays the liberal hypocrisy quite clearly.

It's a third party comment, not even attributed to a specific person, about the possibility that Palins daughter might get married before the election and what effect it might have on her mothers popularity.

How can you not see the spin?

Jersey shore is not politically based nor draws a political crowd. This comment worthless in this thread.

"Worthless." Allow me to borrow from Tribesman's playbook here:

Saying "she's stupid yet still has a large following" means either: A) she's not stupid because her large following vindicates her intelligence, i.e. popularity implies intelligence or B) she's stupid and has a large following because there's a lot of stupid people out there.

Either way...

Jersey Shore has a large following too. It doesn't mean it's intelligent or worthwhile. Kind of like Mrs. Palin.

[AVGWarhawk]

When you start quoting Tribesman it is time for some original thought of your own.

Again, it was not implied. You implied it. Something draws people to this woman. I did not say it was intelligence. You can back pedal all you like. You will not find were I said she is intelligent and this is the reason she draws crowds.

Jersey Shore has a large following too.

Once again...not politically.

It's fairly obvious, she draws many from the more extreme religious right.
When someone with more extreme religious views talks, it will pull that crowd, but anytime someone wants to mix their view of God and politics, scares the crap out of me.

It was probably the liberals that made her famous, but she did suffer from stupidity when she opened her mouth, probably the worse to ever interview. Even now her political career is done, but can't blame her for
staying in the media, making her rich.

We must also remember she had her own reality show....Her shooting that moose was a joke, controlled, probably let out of a cage and just stood there as she missed several times.

I don't much blame her for being stupid politically, I blame McCain for taking her knowing little about her. She's probably a decent average person, just no clue how the world works. She's more studied now, but still just the same talking points.

but anytime someone wants to mix their view of God and politics

This has been happening for the past 200 years here in these great United States.

Yep, we can see that by the harm done by it....

Apparently Sarah had sought some outside advice:
