Plenty of Sunday morning airtime was devoted yesterday to Sarah Palin. George Will says it's common knowledge she shouldn't be trusted with nuclear weapons.
Andrew Sullivan says he's afraid she will run because there's a possibility she could beat Obama.
David Brooks essentially thinks she's a joke.
"Yeah. But, you know, being president is waking up, somebody hands you the crisis and said, "There's a crisis in Venezuela. What are you going to do about it?" Does any, does anybody think Sarah Palin's ready for that? I don't think so. So she can manage her brand.
But running for president is not "American Idol." And I, I think people may agree with her, they may like her, but that doesn't mean they're going to vote for her. And so I--you know, the other thing is she's just not a team player. This is a team sport. Just take one little thing she did this week. She's taking her bus up to New Hampshire.
She doesn't call the Republican Party in New Hampshire, tell, tell them where she's going to appear, what she's going to do. So you got to play as part of the party, you got to play as part of the team.
She's not a team player. I don't think people are going to think she's qualified."

American Idol? That’s what they elected the last time...how about trying for some executive experience this time around.
They spend so much time telling us why she can’t possibly be elected. Rush is right, the Dems will always let you know who they are afraid of. And they’re scared $-—less of her.
Therefore the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy’s will to be imposed on him.

As for the Alaska Lawsuits,, Sun Tsu says walk away and attack them elsewhere,,,as you choose. They were so desperate to grind her away with years of legal battles. Don’t underestimate how well she knows the enemy,,,
Nelson Rockefeller according to Stuart Spencer (Rockefeller's public relations head) said, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."
Mainline Republicans help liberals to destroy Sarah Palin as a member of the human race?
Better throw Karl Rove in that mix...
The RNC and GOP are part of the problem and she knows it.
The RNC/GOP opposed Reagan.
The RNC/GOP will fight hard against Palin or any other genuinely conservative candidate.
The RNC/GOP gave us that worthless excuse McCain.
The RNC/GOP are the enemy, no different than the DNC. They ARE the party of the status quo. They are the party supporting America’s slow but steady slide into authoritarian Marxism.
where’s the asshole alert
Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent’s fate.
Sun Tzu
People who make statements like this prove their bias. They don’t think Palin can handle a crisis but believe obama and Dumb-biden can? Are you kidding me?
Um, I do. She’d certainly do a better job than the present dunce in the White House.
CINOs in the media are in rare form lately.

Ditto, multi dittos and mega dittos! you are so correct! I think she would do a great job.
What in the wide wide world of sports is this man talking about. Idoiot
Management is not about knowing everything.
You hire people that are good at what they do.
A manager is someone that can take in information, be aware of the overall picture, know what the goals are, and then make a decision.
So very true!
After hits, smears, lies and brutal attack, Sarah Palin handles the media superbly.
What better proof does one need that she can handle ANY crisis this nation
or the world will throw at her.
The reasons given against Sarah’s candidacy, in view of what’s in the White House now, make no sense. She’s the complete opposite of Barack. Like comparing night to day.
And it would be infinitely more secure for her to have control of the red button than for a Communist Muslim to have it.
In Brooks’ world, smug condescending criticism is a way of life.
All I can say is that I’ll vote for her, and I hope I get a chance to vote for Allen West for her vice president.
Can the present undocumented worker in the White House handle a crisis? Nope...
It is understandable for Brooks to think this way because Palin Derangement Syndrome is as bad as smoking pot (not that I accuse Books of smoking it). Both do some kind of mind alteration that stunts ones thinking.
Sarah isnt my first choice. But she would be far and away a better president than anyone who held that office since Reagan. Id vote for her in a heart beat.
