Palin Is Ready? Please.

Preferring quality over mediocrity is "left media bias"?

Sorry, Sparky. He and a multitude of others (including conservative commentators who were thrilled with Palin before) are just calling things as they see them. If you don't see it yourself -- are you a member of the Flat Earth Society?

LOL. I've read Marx, Engels, and Lenin and Obama is a liar if he says he's a communist. Then again so is anybody else that says he is.

Obama a "5th grader?" The man was Harvard Law Review Editor!
Arrogant? Did you not see last night's interview? Who was polite, and who was arrogant?
Elitist? Do you mean educated and knowledgeable?
no position? I think that he has a position. You just do not like it.
no value? Who sound more ethical and moral than Obama? An exceptional lawyer who could be a partner in any major law firm and gave it all up to help people in south Chicago?
I know you guys like to call people names, but do you have an argument?

Ignorance is bliss huh Roddy?

Kathleen Parker, an early supporter of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, said Friday recent interviews have shown the Alaska governor is "out of her league" and should leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party. Parker's comments follow those by prominent conservatives David Brooks, George Will, and David Frum who have all publicly questioned Palin's readiness to be vice president.

And the above list of conservative commentators are some of the most prominent on the right side of the spectrum. Considering the facts and the commentary of these well respected journalists posting what they did, can you still look someone in eye, knowing that Palin could become POTUS, and say without hesitation, or trepidation that she is ready right now to lead our country after seeing Couric's interview with Palin?

And don't give the BS that Couric was hard on her. If you saw the debates last night, Couric's questions were easier than the ones that both McCain and Obama were given. So if you think Couric was hard, what is she going to do when she has her face-off with Biden? Case closed.

??? Did Newsweek cut off your posting???

I could not agree less.

I could not agree more.

Here are more people who on the right wing have agreed with you...

I am on the right wing, and I take note to prominate journalists on the right side who would agree with the author of this article.

This is far more than a faith based issue. This is a person that may be trusted to the highest position in government. I admire that some women are as strong as Palin. However the type of strength that you list will not make me sleep better at night.

Compare last night's debate with the types of question that Palin was given by Couric. Couric was playing softball with Palin compared to what McCain and Obama went through. The president that I select has to pass the media test (aka being vetted) for me and countless others to feel safe. And so far I do not feel that way with Governor Palin. Can you honestly feel that you are safe after seeing Couric's interview with Palin?

Faith Based? As compared to what?
How about reason? logic? science?
You know all these things that separate us from sheep?

And your mother wears army boots! You call that a response? Kindergartners aren't allowed to vote.

I commend you for your efforts.

You are making all this up! Right? Just to piss off some people! Right? You cannot be real!!!

Okay, for me - a regular American person living a regular american life - you sound just as fanatic and creepy as Bin Laden. Do you not get that???

I'm John MCCain and I approved this bigoted unamerican message.

What is frightening to many of us is Palin could be "acting" president, without the death of McCain. For example, according to The 9/11 Commission Report, on the morning on 9/11 at some time after 9:03 AM (when the South Tower of the World Trade Center was struck) Vice President Dick Cheney went down to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) the ???bunker,??? under the east wing of the White House. Once there, Cheney was in charge---he was making ALL national decisions including interfacing with foreign governments, the US military, all national security personnel and both houses of Congress while President Bush stayed under protective cover in an airplane. I can see Joe Biden assuming this role. I can see Cheney assuming this role even though I am not a fan. I cannot see Sarah Palin undertaking this huge responsibility. I base my opinion on her few, uninformed interviews with the media and based on her limited experience as a Mayor. She was elected Mayor of a town with less than 5,000 people with fewer than 700 votes. Couple that with her less than 2 year sexperience as Governor of a state with fewer inhabitants than the city where I live. Please don't tell me her duties with the Alaska National Guard have prepared her for 9/11 type challenges that Cheney assumed. Her National Guard duties have been widely disputed by the right and the left. We all know this is ludicrous. If McCain were ill, unconscious or dead this woman would become the next President of the United States. Palin may be enthusiastic, charming and engaging, but she is not ready for the presidency or the vice presidency. To try to compare Obama and Palin is comical. Simple question: how would Palin have done at last night's debate against McCain? Let's see Governor Palin's performance next Thursday against Joe Biden and make additional evaluations then. I maintain that Republicans are so enthusiastic over Palin because she represents the fading face of an old-time America: an America of beauty contests, large families, old time fundamentalist religion. Palin embodies the passing America that no longer exists and is vanishing each day. In Palin, they feel hope that they can hold on to that image of white, conservative, anti intellectual America that is vanishing before our eyes in a society that is becoming more diverse and problematic. Her supporters care little for her experience, her mediocre education, her lack of political savvy regarding international relations or national economic issues. No, they love the fact that Sarah Palin is the old fashioned girl next door, and they believe that's just what is needed to correct what ails this great country.That is a scary thought; isn't it?

You do know that the vice president must be as prepared as the president to lead, because he may be called upon at any moment to be president... Who am I kidding, you probably don't know that!

P.S. Any concrete examples on why Obama shouldn't lead? Or are you just parroting a McCain campaign line that you haven't even thought about?

Hi clemson -- this is probably the wrong place to ask those questions. But, to be helpful, let me tell you: Obama is the Democratic candidate. Palin is the Neocon VP candidate. (We can't really call her Republican.)
