71% say palin unqualified

[DCortez]

Don't shoot the messenger, I didn't take or word the poll. Anyhoo ...


Ms. Palin has two problems. The first is that she's become one of the most polarizing figures in the country. The second is that voters continue to worry about her qualifications for the presidency, a concern that her abrupt resignation from office last July intensified.

She's not the polarizing figure. Obama has fractured the country more than it's ever been. Voters worry about her qualifications because the listen to the lying media and won't find out for themselves. She's accomplished a lot. There's no comparison with Dobama. He's accomplished nothing except a lot of damage.

I don't know what she'll end up doing but whatever it is(even if it's just cheerleader for the conservatives - she's good at that), she'll be an asset and not a liability.

I agree completely. Compared to Obama, she's got a ton of executive experience.

I didn't mean to imply bias or anything on your part, I was just throwing that poll thing out for general consumption. Didn't mean any insult or confusion by posting that. Are we still buddies?

I didn't take it personally, I brought it up to make the point that it is something on people's mind. I did not read the questions asked, see how they were asked, or say it was a "Rasmussen".

If I were Palin, I'd stick to my strengths. Keep on the conservative message, don't take the person bait, be who you are. There is more to leadership than experience alone. I think her values are in the right place.

A simple awareness of current events would have helped Palin. The 2A and eminent domain by private developers are HUGE deals to be unaware of in my book.


Couric: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?

Palin: Well, let’s see. There’s, of course in the great history of America there have been rulings, that’s never going to be absolute consensus by every American.

That was going to be my response, but I thought Ol' Glue needed a rest. The comment...

...annoyed me. Obama the Great Uniter is probably the most politically polarizing figure in recent history. The voters weren't worried about his qualifications last November, were they? I don't know about you, but his abrupt ENTRY into the White House intensified my concerns about his qualifications!

Would Palin be my first choice? My unqualified reaction would be "no." However, when I consider the options, there's not much to choose from. Can you think of a single "qualified" conservative? Does this conservative have the core values of Sarah Palin? Does he/she invoke the energy and excitement that Palin does? Is he/she electable?

You can't dismiss the immediate following that Palin endeared. With a bit more polishing and a little more experience, I think she'll bring something to the race that's been missing since Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, the media crucified her for reasons that were not entirely her fault. Palin was a rush job. Everyone knew it. The GOP was forcing McCain, a political albatross, on the Republican voting base. What choice did we have? Knowing many Republicans would stay home, rather than vote for the Obama-lite candidate hand-picked by the GOP (the primaries were a joke!), they desperately needed a running mate who would energize the ticket. They found Palin and, had they better prepared and supported her, might have done significantly better last November.

All things considered, I don't think you can rule out Palin as a serious candidate in the future.

The fact that Obama doesn't know how many states make up the USA, that the soldiers we're remembering on Memorial Day WON'T be in the audience, that asthmatic kids rarely use breathalyzers, that the redistribution of wealth is NOT part of the foundation of this nation, and he continues to blame his inability to perform on his predecessor are huge deals in my book.

From a dark bedroom in the White House, we hear voices:

Barack: I'm sorry honey, this has never happened to me before.
Michelle: I suppose THIS is Bush's fault, too!

I did not vote for DOHbama. I did vote for McCain/Palin.


Did anyone, besides me, even read the wsj article?

+1 to every word! I just hope Palin can survive the relentless character assassination by the media.
