While I disagree with some of the things that Ed Rollins says, this is not an unfair attack. Rollins did work with Ronald Reagan and is one of the people who helped Reagan to be successful.

Rollins is correct that Sarah Palin is inexperienced and that she is not an expert on most national issues.

Sarah Palin allowed herself to be outmaneuvering in Alaska and forced from office by a few political operatives with false ethics charges. She will face far stronger tactics if she runs for president.

While I agree with Sarah Palin on most issues, I am concerned with her lack of experience. I know there is no perfect candidate but I'm not sure she is ready to be president.

this argument right here in this thread is as old as time. the Democratic party used to be the “next in line” party like we have been lately.

Harry Truman told JFK that he shoudnt run because it was “not his turn”.

there comes a time when you need a new generation of leadership.

Indeed, Palin could have run for Senate in Alaska as the Tea Party favorite, as she clearly outclasses Miller if not Reagan. If she is as popular in Alaska as the fanboys on this board suggest, she would have cruised to victory (although her support for Miller didn't help him much, apparently) From the Senate seat she could have proved her strengths for all to see, demonstrated her policy expertise and ability to persuade all those establishment types we so revile to come over to her side of the debate.

Perhaps having accomplished this, the independents and moderates that she needs to attract would rally to her in 2016 or 2020. As it is, she has a tough row to hoe to gain their support now.

I am MORE concerned about those Republican operatives like Rollins who allowed Palin to be outmaneuvered in AK under false ethics charges, all while complaining on CNN about the “seriousness” of the charges later dismissed.

Traitor.

If she had not resigned he would be complaining about the “ethical clouds” and scandals that surrounded her...that corruption headlines daily sadly (wink-wink) have disqualified her from running.

Complete and utter BS.

This is like troops in a bunker, making their plans to charge the enemy, the “candidate” looks to her left and to her right and says; “let's roll”!

And she is the only one who emerges on the battlefield...and the sissies stay behind for fear of going down.

She dies, taking many of the enemy with her.

They live on to say...poor beautiful girl..she should have staying home in Alaska.

Rollins is slime, wasn’t a big deal in getting Reagan elected or re-elected, and his personal life isn’t good either.

Sarah Palin has had far MORE experience, to make a run to be president, than most candidates in recent history.

What foreign policy experience did Reagan have?

More nonsense---the GOP tried to wash their hands of her and in so doing, hung her out to dry all alone in Alaska, just as Pete Rouse unleashed his well-funded and well-organized hit squad against her, her administration, and her family.
