Surely we can find a conservative who has done more than quit her job as Governor to become a professional speaker and media personality to lead the right-wing of the GOP.

If that's all you have, you have nothing.

I don't come to FR to look for an argument but for rational discussion. Your posts have betrayed an emotional response to Palin. You've left your rational side. One cannot reason themselves into your position. That's PDS.

Care to discuss?

I have no beef with Sarah Palin. I think she’s a fairly solid conservative, though I found her support for bailing out the auto industry disturbing. All I’ve suggested is that she doesn’t have enough experience to be the next President.

You want a rational argument I’ll give you one. We elected Obama, who had eight years of doing nothing in the Illinois State Senate and four years in the US Senate under his belt. His lack of executive experience and his lack of understanding of how government actually works has been a complete disaster. Obama being a disaster has actually worked out well for conservatives. For as bad as he’s been he would have been much, much worse had he been a competent and skilled negotiator and politician.

Sarah Palin has all of two years of experience under her belt as Governor of a very small state. We conservatives need to make sure the GOP nominates not just a conservative but a skilled conservative politician if we want to even dream about turning this country around. Sarah Palin is great for getting conservatives excited and she’s great at tipping over liberal sacred cows. Being President is more than having a pretty face, giving good speeches and having lofty ideas. It takes political skill and experience, of which Palin has neither.

If Palin was serious about running for President she would have run for the Alaska Senate seat last year. Instead she sat out, probably because she would have lost.
