Here's the thing... If somebody had asked us, in the 70's, if America would ever elect a B-movie actor, we'd have laughed. But we did. Twice.
If somebody had asked in the 90's if we'd ever elect a known-stupid failed-businessman son of a former president, we'd have laughed. But we did. Twice.
Hell, if somebody had asked in the 00's if we'd ever elect a black man, a large percentage of us would have laughed. But we did.
We laugh at Sarah Palin at our own peril. I think there's a scary-high chance she could get elected, just looking at history.
