I'm not sure how she concludes these things based on our current situation, especially considering that she's a very intelligent person.

And even more surprising to me, she defends Palin by saying she's been unfairly targetted by the media. She says nothing about Palin being unable to answer extremely basic questions in interviews though. Go figure.

I have a couple of friends who are of a similar bent. Everytime I ask them to justify, I get superficial arguments. The only thing I can determine is their leanings are somehow instinctual and emotional. There is no fact that will ever sway them.
