Love and politics

Marina Adshade says picture this: "You are on a date with a wonderful man/woman. He/she is speaking, but you are gazing lovingly into his/her eyes thinking how lucky you are having finally met your perfect match. Then you hear him/her say this: 'And that is why I think Sarah Palin would make a great president.' How attracted are you now?" Heh. Personally, I'd run for the nearest exit screaming with arms flailing. Adshade (an uncommon surname of Anglo-Saxon origin and derivative of "Adshead") is a professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She explores dating and politics here.
