On November 20, 2009, Sarah Palin visited Columbus, Ohio as part of her book signing tour for “Going Rogue.” When her supporters were asked questions about why they thought she should be president, this is the substance, or lack there of, they offered. Of course there are uninformed Obama supporters too, but no other American politician has ever burst on the national stage as unqualified and more importantly, as undefined as the now unemployed Sarah Palin. The comments made by her supporters are thus vague and undefined as well. This is due to the simple fact they could not possibly know about the intellectual side to Palin, because there isn’t one and that is why her supporters love her. Palin defines herself as the anti-intellectual. Even her most ardent supporters would have to admit Palin would struggle to eloquently discuss the many domestic and international complexities that come with race, religion and nationalism. In the end, however this is exactly why they’ll vote for Palin come 2012.
