Bob- Surely you aren’t lumping our current ex-governor/president George Bush into that statement? Interestingly, Bush also serves to back up Tversky’s (post #189) insightful and thoughtful observation that ivy league education does not equate intelligence. As for Biden, I confess to a certain amount of nervousness about him, but I don’t think any rational and unbiased observer of the VP debate would think those two candidates are in the same ballpark of directness and coherency. Biden answered the questions in a relatively direct and coherent manner. Palin did not, even when she chose to actually answer the questions at all. Read the transcript if you doubt. It’s scary. She is politically savvy for sure, but in terms of a sophisticated, nuanced, nimble mind? I don’t see any evidence of it. I would like to hear more about your governor vs. senator theory however. What are you basing it on?
