WORST IDEA 8/25/10: Sarah Palin-backed candidate leading in Alaska

The Senate candidate in Alaska backed by Sarah Palin has a slight lead over the heavily favored incumbent. Taking Sarah Palin's advice on who to vote for is a lot like taking BP's advice on handling a crisis. It simply seems impossible that a woman who clearly has been a triumph of image over substance would be taken seriously by anyone. I'm not sure how her people managed to convince the public that she's not stupid, she "speaks like regular people." Personally, I want my politicians smart, not at all like the "average" voter and at least somewhat aware of what's going on in the world.
