Palin: 'Bot or Not?

Like me, you're no doubt obsessed with this year's political campaign. And like me, you've clearly had only one question on your mind, ever since John McCain picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate: Is she cybernetic politicalbot, or not?

It'll be tough to tell for sure whether she's a Stepford Candidate. But our friends at io9 has some helpful hints. Here are two:

*__No-One Ever Sees Palin Go Through A Metal Detector At Airport Security. __Sure, you can get away with that in Alaska - It's a different world up there, after all, and the only security they need there are polar bears guarding the check-in desks. But on a whistle-stop tour of the other
States, she's got to be seen going through security at least once, right...? Unless... there are reasons *otherwise.

John McCain's Speeches Start Including Phrases Like "We Need To Invest More Into Medical Technology, Such As Synthetic Skin"
Sure, Palin may look good on camera - But how many people have seen her up close and personal? Being on the stump is going to wear out even the best fake skin substitute we have, considering all the handshakes and baby-kissin' there is to do, after all.
