Do you play chess? Regardless of how intelligent you are we are all one or 2 stupid moves away from losing. The principles are virtually the same with politics. They are more likely very intelligent people, but they say 2-3 even 20 stupid things people start thinking you are dumb and you lose. There is just more coverage now, more access to verbal blunders.
Everyone says things that can be taken out of context or are just outright stupid. It's just that we aren't under the microscope as much.
I'll admit both Palin and Bachmann have been gaff magnets however...
