I'm not seeing how you've reconciled with it, you've marginalized it again and then tried to call it reconciliation perhaps.

But if we want to talk about laughable we only have to look at the overreaction to some of the interview questions and we can see whats going on here. Bush doctrine hysteria ring a bell?  Or if we get more specific to you, one of my favorite laughable moments was when you linked to an article written by one of her most vehement political enemies in Alaska.  Its laughable because you either didn't know (which speaks to how little research you've done on her) or didn't care how blatant you were being with the bias. 

But this is kind of pointless since we both know we aren't going to see eye to eye on this.  I think you've gone blind with bias and I'm sure you think the same of me.

I don't think you're blind with bias, I just think you don't have any convincing points to show that she actually understands the important issues. I did in fact downplay the approval rating. Approval ratings in general suck, and this particular one isn't necessarily any better given the context.

Please, by all means tell me how this approval rating means so much in the context of her VP candidacy. Tell me why it's more important than the fact that she has yet to show the slightest clue about the economy, energy and foreign policy.

If you do that, then we can discuss it further... You can also simply say the approval rating trumps all the rest, and then we'll agree to disagree. Either way, we can put an end to this argument very soon.

 

The point is we've seen the same clips and interviews and have a very different conclusion.  Your conclusion happens to be at odds with the pre-VP selection reality while mine seems to fit it pretty well. I don't think there is much else to say to be honest.
