LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Maybe you should check how much of that campaign fund for both parties goes directly into the pockets of consultants and campaign managers? Unless you think that Obama or McCain really knew that much about the economy and mortgage-backed securities trading before, oh, 4 months ago?
While it would be ideal to have candidates that fit your mold, I don't think they exist. Palin's failure is 100% a failure of preparation - we're looking for
aptitude to become a great politician, and whether by her own fault or the fault of others in preparation, she's not displaying that, even though she has some innate qualities (good public speaker, by all reputation a reputation for efficient and effective work once in office) that should make this relatively easy. McCain has every right to be upset at his staff - they've done a piss poor job. It doesn't even matter whether Palin is particularly well- or ill-suited - their job is to make her into a viable candidate, and that hasn't happened. Whether you give a chef a prime cut of sirloin or the crappiest flank steak, you still expect it to be cooked correctly.
