She's older than Obama and running for a lower office.
Palin is American born and over 35
She’s not too young....
Yes, she is, but that doesn’t mean she’s an acceptable Commander-in Chief.
We are Republicans, not Democrats. Our standards must be much higher. People with the quality of Dick Cheney and Ronald Reagan are only possible in our party because our primary electorate insists on quality, by and large. Bush’s low poll ratings are a partial result of disappointment on the part of Republican voters in his performance.
Remember how, during Impeachment, Democrats rallied around Clinton? Republican voters never would have done that to an errant Republican. They would have run him out of town on a rail. That’s why a lot of Republicans are so disappointed this week over Young’s primary victory in Alaska.
Remember the Cheney rules: when you’re a Republican and you’re being considered for Veep, you’re being considered for President.
Can Palin be POTUS if something happens to McCain? I’m not sure she’s ready yet. Next cycle? Maybe. Needs seasoning, as does Bobby in LA. That’s my beef with Barak, he’s not ready.
All that aside, Steve Schmidt is playing Matt Drudge like a Stradivarius. Expect teases during the buildup to the Sermon on the Mile High, but nothing dispositive. The hammer will come down right after Obama’s speech to step all over the Young Jesus’ glow.
Be Seeing You,

“Palin is too young, to be honest.
She’s older than Obama and running for a lower office.”
Yes, but just like Obama is not qualified, being slightly older or more experienced than him still does not qualify one for President - which should be the standard for Vice-President
“She’s older than Obama and running for a lower office.”
Yup. AND she’s actually accomplished something in her life. Obama’s “success” as a thug organizer in Chicago is a dubious accomplishment.
