Palin's interview with CBN
http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archiv...-file.aspx
Well the media will probably pick up on her criticism of Obama's reaction to the Egpyt crisis. I think based on the transcript that picking up on the 3 am call to the answering machine sound byte is a bit unfair to Palin.
But her answer to what she would do if she were President should be enough to clearly demonstrate why she has no chance of being considered a serious candidate.
Quote:Sarah Palin: “I would continue on the same course of not really caring what other people say about me or worrying about the things that they make up, but having that thick skin and a steel spine, knowing that what is needed in America are those things that Ronald Reagan did espouse and what he lived and not worrying about what the critics are going to say about me or my family or what it is that I stand for because I do believe, David, that there are more commonsense conservative Americans on our side on the issues that we stand for than there are those who oppose the idea of individualism and God given liberty and opportunity to work hard and to progress according to our own work ethic and our own merits. I would continue to believe that there are more who are believers in those values than there are not, so I would continue down that same path.”

RE: Palin's interview with CBN
Obama has made statements, more times than I count, that are so much more idiotic than the above.
I don't think Palin can secure the Republican nomination, I would not vote for her in a primary.
She can be very good fundraiser though.

I would not vote for her in a primary.
If it ends up Palin v. Obama, I will vote libertarian (or some other third party) or stay home.
If I were forced to vote Palin or vote Obama, I would vote Palin.
In the end, I think she's less dangerous than he is.

She does have a track record for governing, and none of it is dangerous. I'm thinking your mission of trying to remain "unbiased" and centrist is becoming a bit extreme. Any time someone talks about something Obama has done, you always have to throw in the "Shrub" moniker as to say, "See guys? I'm not a rightie, I'm talking about a Republican as well".
It's a bit unbecoming. You honestly think leftists give a fk what you, or any conservative says. ....and you're wasting your time.

I agree with your first 2 sentences. Man, I just don't know if i could bring myself to ever vote for Palin. She might have to be running against Satan himself and even then I would pause for a moment. She cannot become president. I just hope the repubs get their **** together enough to nominate someone who is ready and able to be president. We havent had a president like that in this century. I keep hearing people say that Palin is not ready to be President. That is completely wrong. She is not able to handle that office, and she never will be.

I know he didn't actually become president, but I am wondering: Did you think McCain was "ready and able to be president" in 2008? If yes, I would ask if you voted for him. And if not, I would ask who you think is ready and able.

I have to disagree with you on one thing. 160 words and she said absolutely nothing. The only thing more presidential would be if she used those 160 words to answer a question that wasn't asked (i.e. one made up by her handlers). At least "presidential" going by the recent history of office holders.

RE: Palin's interview with CBN
I'm still of the opinion she's not going to run. She'll keep the "buzz" alive cause it makes her money and keeps her name in the news. But in the end I think she elects not to run and maintains her role as the one to keep those who are "honest."

She has surprised me before, but for now I think this is the most likely scenario.

I recall obama giving a rambling 17 minute answer to a question about taxes. Does he get a free pass?

Sorry for the delay in my answer. I've been busy at work.
McCain----ready? Yes. Able? No. I think his pick of Sarah Palin(including the little vetting that was done on her) and his decision to shut down his campaign after the Sept 17th meltdown showed me that his decision making was at the highest level.
No, I didnt vote for McCain. I voted for Bob Barr.

Talk about her all you want, but Palin was more qualified than Obama. Period. Obama was the most inexperienced person on the Democratic primary ticket. He won due to ONE thing. ONE little factor. Care to admit it?
