I do not know either of you but I would seriously doubt if Sarah Palin is smarter than either of you.

The 54 states by Pres. Obama was a gaffe and anyone can slip. However, Palin did not know where Germany is on a map, thought she had foreign relations skill because Alaska is close to Russia, thought the Queen of England was the head of government, did not know of two Koreas, etc.

She can orate with the best of them - but dumb as a box of lint.
