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.
Glad to see you admit that being "qualified" is purely subjective and arbitrary. Perhaps this will stop some here of trying to convince others of who is "qualified" and who is not "qualified" as if there is some objective criteria.
