Because there are 57 states in the union you know that think shes stupid. It's unfair to mention Palin without mentioning Obama's stupid statements. Lets mention his bitter clinger comment too in order to compare her real America comment to Obama's insultory comment. Heck lets mention Sherrod Brown's latest stupid statement that unemployment benefits create jobs.
Palin is seen as being so conservative because we know she is. It's a feeling. It's the same feeling you libs got when you chose Obama over Hillary. We knew Obama was more socialist than Hillary - its why many of us switched parties to vote for Hillary. Palin fights for our candidates and puts political capital on the line doing so unlike Romney.
So instead of being 1 percent socialist, he was 1.5 percent socialist?
