Well, she’s sure no John Bolton when it comes to foreign policy that’s for sure.
She is no John Bolton on domestic issues... that is for sure... she does not support gay marriage and she does not support the repeal of dadt.
“Bolton is talking about running for president, and up until now it has been virtually impossible to find out anything concerning his views about the core moral questions of our day. That is no longer the case.
Townhall:
Reiterating a point he made to the Daily Caller, Bolton confirms he’s willing to rankle some social conservatives by positioning himself to the Left of [Alleged] President Obama by explicitly voicing support for gay marriage. “I think [same-sex marriage] is something that in society today, we ought to be able to live with,” he says. “I don’t, however, think this is a matter to be adjudicated in federal courts. I don’t think the Constitution speaks to the question at all. It’s an issue that ought to be primarily decided at the state level, rather than being handed down by judicial edict.”
He also makes really stupid remarks about abortion:
The question that Roe poses is not whether the Court was right or wrong on abortion; it’s whether it was right or wrong as a matter of Constitutional jurisprudence.”

John Bolton is unelectable because of his mustache. He looks like a clown. I’m serious.
I like John Bolton...but he is no Sarah Palin when it comes to charisma...and like it or not, it takes some charisma to be elected POTUS.
Charisma is more important than knowledge...Obama proves it. The average voter isn't smart enough to know or care what a candidate knows. Dumb people think everybody is as dumb as they are, or, that they are as smart as smart people.
Nobody is except for say John Bolton.I bet she would ask him to be in her administration.His dream job would be head of the departure of the united nations from the shores of America.Damn good start.
Hopefully, Gov Palin is using Bolton as an advisor/resource. Her strength is her sincerity, her absolute love of this country, her enthusiasm and charm. But as a pretty woman, it’s not good enough to be just smart, she has to be able to also sound like a wonk.
It was one thing for Reagan to be the principled big picture guy .. I don’t think with the coverage Gov Palin has received since her appearance on the world stage, she can get to the presidency without being a whole lot wonkier than she’s been. And I would like to see her get to the presidency.
Nobody is.
But which candidate is most likely to pick Bolton to head the NSA or to be Secretary of State?
