If that's true, she doesn't have the independence to be a candidate for president. Do you seriously believe she went on SNL without wanting to?
If we're making excuses for every poor choice she made, she's already doomed for another run.
I think she was completely agreeable to the SNL appearance--you can't be that enthused about being on the show and be faking it. I think she was over her head in many ways, and she should be criticized for her flaws as a candidate--some of her responses in interviews were embarassing, and we can't just blame editing and stupid asses like Couric and Gibson--if she can't take THEM on, she isn't fit to run for anything on a national ticket.
I think she has the intelligence and savvy to be a great candidate in 2012. But she has to do it on her own, she can't have us making excuses for her missteps. She's capable of growing.
She wasn’t running for POTUS... Mc Cain was. She, like Biden, did what she was TOLD to do.
The problem with Sarah was that she took on her challenges with enthusiasm. That pissed off a lot of people who wanted to diminish her.
Your comments are pathetic.
Your take on the SNL appearance is bullshit. It did NO harm, and possibly a bit of good. It showed the she had a sense of humor and could laugh at herself. It was done in the same vein as when Clinton went on some late night show (Letterman???) and played his saxophone. Was HE “not a serious candidate”???
