Palin fans not sure she's ready
Everyone else is sure she's not ready.

-snip-
The widening gap between Palin's Republican stardom and her national prospects was reinforced Friday by a Fox News poll that found that 51% of registered voters say Palin's support for a candidate would make them less likely to support that person, while only 25% say it would make them more likely. Even within GOP ranks, other polling shows that many in the party aren't sure she's qualified for the Oval Office.

Not many would say so that directly here, but the distinction between Palin's popularity as a figure who tells it like it is rather than as a potential president was on clear display – if at times difficult for sympathetic Republicans to voice.

Rod Carney, an attendee from Mississippi, said: "I'd rather see her take over as head of the Republican Party."

1. I agree with Rod Carney.
Put her in charge of the GOP. What a perfect follow up to Steele. You betcha! Wink, wink.

4. She's an Airhead Quitin 1/2 Govenor from the State of Alaska


...... and the more she speaks the more she exposes herself as such.....she has not the energy to be a Presidential candidate nor a POTUS..... she is the Duracell Bunny running on a 1/4 charged battery.....


HOT AIR IS HER GAME.

5. But She Doesn't "Tell It Like It Is". She Tells It Like She Pretends It Is.
Even Sarah Palin isn't dumb enough to believe the shit she says. She just knows how to rile up the crowd to keep the appearance checks rolling in.

6. And don't hold your breath
waiting for her to be ready. Education is lifelong and others her age have a 46 year jump on her.

7. What is striking is that now, even the wingnuts are beginning to
abandon her. OTOH, that's posiive. On the other hand, can we afford to lose such a major wingnut laughingstock? I would assert that we have only one recourse--to join the dwindling voices screaming, Palin for President! Palin for President! We cannot afford to lose such a prolific resource for lib/prog entertainment!

8. I would LOVE for Sarah Palin to take over as head of the Republican Party.
You think Michael Steele likes to spend money??

You ain't seen nothin' yet!!

I cannot think of a person and an organization that deserve each other, more...
