I'm saying that, giving her the benefit of the doubt, she based her 'abstinence only' decision on her personal beliefs and experience. After she was 'surprised' by her own daughter, did this alter her beliefs in any way?
The distinction between ignorance and stupidity is that the first means lack of knowledge, and the second means the inability to learn.
As a potential voter, I am curious as to her capacity for learning and adapting to new circumstances as well as doing what's best for her constituents versus what's satisfies her political base.
Give credit to Obama that on most of the major issues right now he is willing to piss off his base to get things done. From what I hear, on this specific issue Palin is still giving the party line. If she got into office and her worldview got a shock similar to that in her personal life, would she be able and willing to adjust, even in her first term in office and looking at reelection?
