Why then do complete idiots like Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin and Christine O'donnell, ever get as far as they do?

I swear, Bachmann makes a chimp look like genius. 90% of the things she says are completely wrong, and she can't ever, ever, admit a single mistake. She's clueless about elementary school science and history, and is a religious nut job on top of that.

How, how HOW does anyone like this even get a job cleaning toilets let alone become a presidential contender?
