The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[Alex]

Oh, I don't put this kind of extemporaneous error anywhere near the same bucket as policy squishiness and self contradiction.

But to answer your question, I don't really take any level of brain farting of the type this item would be to be a sign of idiocy. Presumably I'm not an idiot and I do it all the time. No, I'm not running for president, but then I don't place speaking skills all that highly on my list of presidential qualities. Nice to have, but not necessary.

I don't think Romney would be a good president, but I'm comfortable thinking that without having to think him an evil or stupid person.

But I'm not saying you shouldn't find it important. You can judge based on whatever criteria you want.
