ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Oprah wants her, and so do Letterman and Leno. Fresh from her political defeat, Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate that would be astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor.

No. You said she wasn't qualified.
Now you want to modify that by admitting she is more qualified than some but not others. So, I suggest you state clearly what experience, what size state, what size corporation what age what universities whatever you regard as sufficiently over the line to permit someone to run for VP.
Then all future candidates can consult your list of requirements and save themselves the trouble of running a futile campaign.
I'm pretty sure your list will disqualify anyone who hasn't been a political hack for years, thereby eliminating for consideration any normal person. I also suspect the Founding Fathers would have had an issue with that.
And for the record, I would vote for any lover of liberty over any collectivist no matter what the disparity in experience. I don't need an experienced tyrant in office.
Or she left competent people in charge. She’s no dummy.
Exactly! Competent leaders hire competent people, this way they don’t have a bunch of problems - things run smoothly. My husband hires competent, responsible people at his company, that way when he is not at work, things run smoothly, and when he is not at work and there is a problem all he has to do is call another one of his competent, responsible workers and things are instantly fixed. Imagine that....what a concept, huh! Competent leaders hiring competent people...go figure.
Yep! You got it! Thats me:-)
I Love Sarah, I want her to be a Leader in 10! and then in 12! and on and on!
Obama is an airhead and an empty suit, but he did what David Axelrod and Bill Ayers and others instructed. Axelroad is so very good that he got Mayor Street relected when the Idiot was down 20 percetage points in Philly last time around Axelrod can sell Ice to Eskimos and even harder, TRUTH to DEMORATS!!! Imagine that! No wonder an Idiot like Obie HUSSEIN could find 62 Million stupid Lemmings to vote for him, the Hugo Chavez of America:-(
Bueno notte!
I agree,,, i think she should snub Oprah. Go on everyone BUT Oprah. Oprah blew it.
Sorry i wasnt clear,, I completely realized where you were coming from. I was trying to chime in with you. Im in total agreement with you amigo. I was probably directing that to whoever you were you were addressing your point to.
“Sarah Palin was/is the GOVERNOR of a large state and had an 80% approval rating prior to her selection as McCain’s running mate. The GOVERNOR of a state.”
you make it sound as if she’s the only governor in the entire country. A population of 670,000 is very small.
Well I can’t figure you out if you are being sarcastic or serious with statements like no woman will ever get pres because they are “airheadish” but then you say you love Sarah - just confused and just like email - typing is not the best medium at times to understand things...
I do agree that if anyone is an airhead and empty it is Obummer!
AMEN,,, experience is FAR less important than core natie intelligence, principles and honesty.
All the rest falls into place.
And what I get, from the so-called logical non-emotion driven conservatives is being called a moron, a troll, an idiot, stupid, and an Obama lover.
You got called out on an unsupported and baseless slam at someone most conservatives see as a person with the right stuff to bring us out of the wilderness of crushing left-liberalism gone mad.
You didn't even try to temper your initial statements with any sort of reason or analysis, but straight out of the gate, you started in with slanderous terms like, "unqualified", "not ready", etc., all of which are practically trademarked anti-Palinisms from the leftist mainstream media.
And you have the gall to whine that you're being "attacked"? You're being called out on your transparent hatred for Sarah Palin, and yes, there's been some emotional response to your statements, as well.
If you're such a thinking conservative, then you'll sit back and formulate a conservative argument for your statements against Sarah Palin.
Otherwise, everything you've said so far is typical slander with little reasoning.
thats native intelligence,, my “v” key is sticking.
No need to be emotional. Just read her transcripts and decide for yourself if she has what it takes:

Already done. She's definitely got the right stuff.
An idiot post. Only someone working really hard at taking shots at Palin would stoop to denigrating her post as Governor by saying her state isn’t big enough to qualify for legitimacy. What a joke, but you’ve had a number of them recently, so no one should be all that surprised.
very well said windflier and also I think the jealousy of some women over Sarah’s looks is so obvious. that is where a lot of the “unqualified” crap comes from I believe.
“Sheesh. When is she going to do the job she is being paid for. “
You are just getting nasty, silly now, this kind of childishness does not help your man Mitt Romney.
IFILL: We do need to keep within our two minutes. But I just wanted to ask you, do you support capping carbon emissions?
PALIN: I do. I do.
I’m not so sure the pot user ash trays are a good idea.
All future candidates do indeed have to meet her requirements to get her vote, as they have to meet yours to get your vote. This is what the primary process is all about. This nonsense we've been reading lately about annointing Sarah Palin four years out is downright unamerican. If she's to be the nominee, and she may well be, she has to earn just like every nominee before her.
in by itself, it is not a disqualifier. But when you combine that with the fact that she only has a degree in journalism and her...not so inspiring performance in public interviews and debates, I just don’t see how you can think that she is ready to be leader of the free world.
I do not want to repeat the experience of George W Bush.
