Supposed genius John F. Kennedy didn't know what the Monroe Doctrine was when his aides brought it up and Al Gore asked "who are all these guys" when touring Monticello.

People who write these articles make me laugh. They are no names or a no big deal name - but are so compelled to give advice to Sarah who is world known and feared by the many. Wonder how she got this far without them?

Um. At the risk of sounding like a broken record...she beat Frank Murkowski, the incumbent governor, in the Republican primary, and then beat his predecessor, Tony Knowles, in the general election. Before she was Saint Sarah. Before anybody much south of Juneau even knew who she was. In 2006, a year when a lot of Republican pols were getting clobbered. Is that good enough campaigning for you?

A Palin Presidency would not be drama-free as detractors will continually look for evidence to support their views of her

If they were in full out attack against her when she was Gov of Alaska and McCain's running mate, I could only imagine the ongoing blow-back if she were in the final cut for President or if she ever became President. Always on the "defensive". It is tiring to even contemplate.

When George Bush stood on the pile of rubble of the WTC after 9/11 with his megaphone, I have a hard time picturing present day candidates "under consideration" delivering the bill.

"I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!"... and the response from workers the newly elected President received!

Lots of “concern” being expressed.

Sarah Palin is living rent free in the minds of the Ruling Class!

Palin is a superlative campaigner, the best politician I have ever seen. It remains to be seen if she will be as good a President(I for one think she will), but she is the finest combination of retail politician and telegenic superstar ever to enter the realm of American politics.
