Rove: Americans fear Palin lacks the gravitas to be their president (There he goes again!)

It isn't being marketed as an outdoor series. The trailers currently being aired show that it's also going to feature her home life, not unlike The Osbornes or Keeping Up With the Kardashians. It may not be as trashy as Real Housewives, but it ain't exactly Planet Earth, either. It's clearly being billed as a reality show about Palin's family life, not a documentary about Alaska.

If you think doing a reality show is a good idea for a Presidential candidate, then that's a valid position. I happen to think that it's a curious position for a conservative to take, but it's valid.

I fail, however, to see how Karl Rove is a RINO for holding the opposite view. If expecting a certain amount of seriousness and dignity from those who would be this country's Chief Executive is somehow incompatible with being a Republican, then I guess I'm in the wrong party.

It's not as simple as that. For you not to understand that Rove is pissed about her influence in the party and in the media, in spite of her not being amongst the republican elites like him is kind of sad. He wants to set himself above her as the smart intellectual leader of conservatism......she is a threat to him and he's going to do a lot to damn her with faint praise, and undermine her whenever he can.

I like Marco Rubio so much better for President.

Sarah Palin is just a nice, likable Alaska housewife.

People don’t crack jokes about Rubio, he is respected.

Do you have any evidence to back that assertion up, or are you just reading his mind? How exactly do you know it's that and not that Rove genuinely thinks Palin is sabotaging her own candidacy?

[Lakeshark]

You don't have to read his mind, just read his comments day after day.

His lack of influence in Delaware compared to her, and his total three days worth of melt down after his candidate lost bitterly criticizing O'Donnell on every show he could put his mug on might have given you a clue.

He has a petulant and defensive persona when his turf is taken over, and she's simply taken over as the most wanted endorsement from any conservative politician. He doesn't like being yesterday's consultant, and unfortunately she put him there with her positive endorsements and excellent campaigning for this election.

He's also a Romney backer, which might give you some clues as to how he's going to attack her from here on in.

I like Karl, why is he doing this....there must a reason.....or he’s an asshole.

Rove is out for himself and Romney.
Neither cared about throwing Election2008 to Obama.

Rove and Romney are scum who time will not forget.

[GoCards]

what in the world is he talking about.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Nuculer.

[The Pack Knight]

Perhaps he is, but he also happens to be right about Palin here.

[Diogenesis]

Right? Who knows. The only thing that is certain
is that backstabber Rove can never be trusted again.
