I don't think anybody here (honestly) thinks palin is the most qualified candidate in 2012.
I think those supporting her have 2 points of view:
1) She's "smart enough" and I like her positions on issues, or
2) She's not barry, and I'd elect a purple dinosaur so long as it's not Obama.
Which is fine. but when people say "yes, she is the most prepared, experienced, smart, shrewd, qualified Republican in America to be President" they're being dishonest.
