A.  I guess we'd need to define smart.  Lot of college profs I know are prone to scoff at anybody they see as slightly less smart than they are.  
Are we saying that Patti Murray couldn't write a memo?  As 50% plus of high school seniors couldn't write a memo?
B.  I'd concede that the occasional pol gets into major office based on quirky factors ... I should have qualified that there's no such thing as a U.S. governor who governs at all effectively despite an 85 IQ.
Point cheerfully conceded.  There are a few people, propped up by their teams, who are posers.  Not nearly as many as the propaganda machines would have us believe.
