(shrug) Well, you know, I don't think she's technically stupid at all. I think she's just a person who has bought into some very mistaken philosophies, and she goes on that basis. Smart people do that too, not just stupid people. Smart people can believe in absolutely anything if they are accustomed to it and they grew up with it, just the same as stupid people can.

Never underestimate your opponent just because your opponent has some different core beliefs from your own.

Why do I say this? Well....Sarah Palin has achieved a good deal more at her age than the average person does. How do you figure she managed that? Sheer blind luck? I don't think so.
