USA's Pathetic Mediocrity

The more I listen to the Republican candidates for US presidential poll, I wonder what has happened to intellectual level of US - I mean, the Republican party could not find anyone better than John McCain and Sarah Palin!!
If McCain is an ageing blunderbag, Palin is a pathologically moronic shrew. Both of them intellectually challenged, and shamelessly dismissive about their outstanding mediocrity.
Day after day the duo spews balderdash on most of the topics they speak on. Worst, they resort to disgusting inaccuracies, and talk any nonsense while responding to media questions.
One wonders, are they panicking, or they are simply not capable of doing better? The opinion polls are suggesting day after day that gap between McCain-Palin ticket and Obama-Biden pair is increasing.
What I said in the foregoing is not based on any bias against McCain and Palin. A dispassionate, impartial, logical examination of their utterances bring out the inescapable conclusions mentioned above.
But do the voters of US realise this? Are they evaluating the candidates based on their competence or they are sticking to one ticket or the other based on the party affiliations? Should the voters not weigh in their minds as to who is more capable in handling economic crises, and who is more composed and organised in thinking etc etc?
There is a month between now and the election day. Will the Republican strategists come out with some kind of magic to change the horrendous perception most of the logical and sane minded voters of US have of the intellectually drained McCain-Palin ticket? If they can do it, it will indeed be something better than what Chris Angel Mindfreak achieves in his acts.
I am not sure about others, at least I will be watching the developments with great interest. I will come back with more.
