If obama is qualified and electable than palin has more than meet that very low benchmark
Nope, she hasn’t. Obama was laying the groundwork for many years, attending the right schools, working at the right law firms, sucking up to the “right” (more like hard-core left) community groups, getting elected to the Senate, etc. He’s still not anywhere near as qualified as we need — even from the point of view of a leftist who would really like to see nationalized health care, a complete pullout from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo, etc — he’s just not able to achieve his objectives, because he’s finally gotten in over his head. Palin was already showing signs of being in over her head as governor of Alaska.
