We are finding out right now how dangerous it is to have people as POUTS/CinC who need to learn on the job (outside of their wrongheaded politics). Palin would be no different, she would need 2 or 3 years of training on the job. Reality is, whether Conservatives here want to admit it or not....If any DEM with Palin's "light" executive record was the DEM nominee, we would call them out on it. We cannot afford more training on the job.
Palin was already a mayor and governor. She already knows how to run a cabinet and make decisions. As for knowing how to be POTUS she has two more years to learn the ropes. Palin is definitely not a neophyte.
