A former secretary of state and supporter of Republican presidential nominee John McCain says that McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, isn't up to the task of taking over the presidency in a crisis but could become "adequate" if not "a genius in the job."
Then again, added Lawrence Eagleburger, several other vice presidents were also not ready. And he said he was confident that Palin, Alaska's governor, was tough enough if called to serve.
Eagleburger, who was secretary of state under President George H.W. Bush, has been cited frequently by McCain as one of several seasoned diplomats and former Cabinet members who back his presidential bid. McCain has pointed to them when asked about former Secretary of State Colin Powell's decision to endorse Democrat Barack Obama.

You know what? I think this woman is better prepared to handle world problems than any other person in this race. I have watched Palin evolve.
She is a quick study and has not been tainted.
Vote on Tuesday!
But I HATE AP for what they choose to print.
SHUT UP!
Yeah. Eagleburger gave a frank assessment, but not of the ‘she’s a hick boob’ variety. Naturally, this will be spun as ‘former Reagan official says Palin is horrble choice’ or some such.
Take a look at my post at #2. I really do believe what I say!
Well, Larry, ya friggen idiot, why don’t you comment on the lack of qualifications of the Dem’s #1?
A sportscaster would be fired if he compared his teams, lackluster 1st string QB to his opponents backup QB.
“Hey Jim, my starter is pretty flakey, but your backup QB doesn’t have any experience in the Pro’s.”
LOL
In the debate, she correctly placed Darfur in Sudan. Biden incorrectly placed it in Chad (one of 27 uncorrected misstatements of fact by Obiden in the debate).
Crickets from the press.........................
Eagleburger, with all due respect, SHUT UP!!!! Sarah Palin is absolutely qualified to be President; she is FAR more qualified than Barack Obama will ever be!!!!!
The liberals just keep going after Sarah, despite the fact that she has years of EXECUTIVE BRANCH EXPERIENCE, and their “beloved messiah” has ZERO!!!!!
I am so sick and tired of the liberals feeding the “she doesn’t have experience” garbage to the American people! Nonsense!
Sarah Palin is definitely qualified to be President, and she’d be a FANTASTIC one, at that!
GO SARAH!!!!!
Guess he didn’t get asked if he thought ZeroBama was qualified.
he’s crazy
Sarah Palin, our VICE-Presidential candidate, has more executive experience, and is better suited for executive office than Barak Hussein Soetoro Whatever 0bama ... who happens to be their Presidential candidate.
pingarewski
HOUSECLEANING of the Republican Party continues....add Eagleburger to the vichy Republican list....
I wonder how PETA feels about Eagleburgers.
Don’t worry, after 4 years of being the VP she will have more than enough experience to be President in 2012.
