On another thread I referred to the concept that Sarah Palin has to get her ‘ducks in a row’ to orchestrate a successful Presidential campaign and part of that is to bone up or become conversant on various issues. This does not mean that Sarah is stupid or unintelligent.
What it does mean that as Governor of Alaska she has focused on issues related mainly to her state and states rights. Running for POTUS simply means she has to shift her focus to national affairs. Folks, she has 2 years to accomplish this.
To deny this is to deny reality.
I will be the first one to admit that Sarah Palin is not ready to be POTUS on June 24, 2009 but by June 24, 2011 I am convinced that she will be 95% ready to be POTUS and by the time she is inaugurated on Jan. 20/2013 she will be 100% ready.

I agree completely. Being intelligent is necessary, but not enough. She needs a professional organization behind her that will keep her campaign on-message and be able to deflect vicious attacks from a hugely hostile media.
All of her weaknesses can be fixed by hiring the right people to coach her and deal with certain issues.
