For once he is right .

I know it won’t make me popular (like I care anyway), but I’ll have to agree with you.

As much as I like Sarah, I’m not convinced she’s presidential material.

[SoConPubbie]

But she would have no chance in the general election for POTUS.

No, you're wrong, and GWB could't be more wrong, if it is really true he feels/or has stated this.


BTW, how much representative experience, from a national perspective did Abraham Lincoln have before he became President?

Two years as a US Congressman.

How much executive experience did Abraham Lincoln, you know, the guy who started the GOP, have before he became President?

Zero!

When offered the position of secretary or governor of the Oregon Territory, he turned it down.

Do you know why?

Because, The territory was a Democratic stronghold and acceptance would have ended his legal and political career in Illinois, so he declined.

Because he took the long view of his career and realized that taking that position would have hindered his effectiveness and also, how far he could go.

Now, do I really have to connect the dots for you here?

I’m inclined to agree with you but I also have to wonder does it matter? Once the bar has been lowered by electing the totally unqualified Obama is it even an issue any more?

I agree with you . Sarah is on target , she is a great money raiser for us but she in not presidential material at all.
