Any basis you have for your assertion that it wasn't significant? Or could we at least admit that it's an arguable point?
Thanks for finally answering my question on how it was so significant.

Your quote of
Quote:
A significant number of American pollgoers actually thought Palin said, specifically, "I can see Russia from my house" . . . no matter what you want to think about the education, intelligence or common sense of the American public.
doesn't say how it was so significant... just that a lot of people actually thought she said that bit about Russia which is why I kept asking.

You probably won't agree, but I would argue that 6 percent (of the 1000 voters in the survey) who said the skits were a factor in their decision-making to vote for Obama is not very significant at all.

But that's just my opinion
