35 yrs old & a "natural-born" citizen is about all that's "required".

Almost anyone can "run", and a quick look at most ballots show us that many people DO run.

I wish people would stop saying that Palin is not "qualified".. She IS. When liberals bad-mouth her qualifications, they only enrage her base. There is a difference between qualifications and competence.

George Bush was qualified, he was not competent.

She is the female equivalent of GWBush..qualified, but incompetent.

1. You could also phrase it as "legally qualified versus ACTUALLY qualified"
