It’s for the best. Palin has many admirable qualities, and I myself turned from a strong critic to someone who admitted I’d misjudged and underestimated her in some ways, but I still hold to a few positions. One, she ducked heavy fire by ditching her elected office in Alaska, which augured poorly for her ability to handle with excellence the toughest job in the world, and, two, she has serious family issues, namely one child, or possibly two, that have demonstrated immaturity, self-centeredness, foot-in-mouth disease, and a dismaying appetite for the spotlight that would feed the scandal beast continually while Mom was in office.
Let the Palins make their millions, but please, let them spare us the drama of a Palin White House.

Sarah is young. She can take a year off, basically, and get her health back, get her family settled down, and so on, then begin a career of positions of successive responsibility and still run for president when she’s 60 years old if she wants to.
