She's not particularly intelligent either. And she sure as hell isn't ready to be president (or a heartbeat away).

But it all may be moot. I doubt McCain has a prayer at this point.

So, her partisan zeal could repel independents?

I can agree with this.

But can Obama's partisan zeal do the same?

Right now, he's attracting more independents. But if they like what he says, are they really independent? Or are the just leftists who claim to be independent?

I believe you, as engineers are incapable of deception.
