NO ONE is going to hand Palin the nomination.
She will have to earn it like anyone else.
If she is up to it (which I believe that she is) she will do well in the primaries, if she is not, she will get run over.
You stating your negative opinion about her now does NOTHING but harm her further, and gives democrats talking points against her in the future (ie. Even Rove doesn't think she is qualified, ect..)
So please follow the golden rule in regards to all future or potential republican nominees
“she will have to earn it like anyone else”
Absolutely! Good post.
Rove says “it was unlikely that voters would regard someone starring in a reality show as presidential material”
Has he seen the shows?
Rove says “she lacks the stomach for the rigors of a presidential campain”
Holy cow. ‘Stomach’ is one of her strong suits. She loves to compete. What makes him think she lacks stomach?
Rove says “There are high standards that the American people have for it [the presidency] and they require a certain level of gravitas, and they want to look at the candidate and say ‘that candidate is doing things that gives me confidence that they are up to the most demanding job in the world.”
Fine, Rove, but that’s motherhood and apple pie.
The article begins with “[Rove questions] if the American people thought she had the “gravitas” for the “most demanding job in the world”.
Rove is judging the American people with that statement, not Palin. Basically, Rove has nothing to say in this article and he knows it, so we are justified to suspect ulterior motives behind these public remarks.
You mean the "eleventh commandment," right?
