The guy who won yesterday is a DEMOCRAT! Of course he won’t
be asked any difficult questions by the MSM. But a republican needs to be competent since they will be grilled mercilessly as Sarah Palin was.
I have yet to be presented by any evidence, of even the most marginally convincing sort, that Sarah Palin is anything but "competent" in affairs geo-political.
She has negotiated trade deals with Japan, as well as oil and fishing rights with Russia. By any non-PDS standard, that already places her demonstrably higher on that particular skill-set graph than... oh, say... McCain, or Romney. No Sale.
