I see a lot of repubs saying Palin is the future of the party, she's gonna win in 2012, etc.
I don't get it.
She's a walking punchline to 60% of voters - polls showed 60% didn't even think she was ready to be veep, much less president.
Aside from that - there are MUCH smarter people who could do that job. I"m not talking about jindal, who has no experience. I'm not talking about fred thompson, who looks great in a suit on TV, but doesn't know much bout nothin.
You repubs seem to have neglected choosing the 'best' candidate, and instead leaned towrd the guy with the most excitement, potential, tv buzz, etc. palin was great for ratings, but i think EVERYYYYYYYYYY ONE here will agree a Newt or jeb would have been FAR FAR FAR more prepared to handle any big crisises, right?
Stop falling for the gleam of "ah, she's a regular hockey mom" and instead, choose the smartest, shrewdest, experienced MFer for the job. Seriously. You can argue maybe sh'es qualified, maybe not - but you know damn well she's not the caliber of ten or 15 top guys/gals who SHOULD have been on the ticket.
