She needs to temper her "bitchiness" and concentrate on being seen as a kinder, gentler soul but compared to Newt and Romney (the only two left standing at this point), she is more likeable!

wise is not a word i think of when it comes to sarah. and i don't find her likable at all. i'd compare her to fingernails on a chalkboard.

Well, I never considered you a right wing Republican either. Likeable compared to Newt and Romney, Cain as well and certainly Bachman. McCain tried to show he wasn't just another Washington insider and a rather nasty man at that by drafting the young, unknown Palin to be his running mate. She was hardly ready for national politics and it showed immediately but even with her lack of knowledge and inexperience with the media, she gained a fair number of supporters. McCain would later blame her for his loss which was totally unfair and showed him to be the trite, angry man he was/is...all this did was endear her to the right (which was never comfortable with McCain anyway). Aside from her fights with the media, she has done little wrong since the election in the eyes of the right and who else do they have at this point? She is better prepared this time and I don't buy the notion that she is stupid...besides how many recent Presidents have been Mensa members? Could she govern? I don't know, would depend on whether she had the wisdom to surround herself with qualified folks. Don't get me wrong, she won't get my vote but I think it unwise to simply dismiss her.

Palin was Mayor of Wasilla, and Governor of Alaska, so I think we know exactly how she would govern ... and it left alot of ethics charges and lawsuits in it's wake, aside from the financial ruin of Wasilla.

And I think the books written about Palin's time on the campaign trail prove she's not very mentally capable, in an IQ sort of way.

Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. Obama was President of Harvard Law Review. Dubya Bush was an alcoholic and a cheerleader, which is why Cheney was our real president.

Herman Cain doesn't know anything about foreign countries and mocks their long names. Rick Perry thinks the voting age is 21 and barely passed college. Michelle Bachmann is a crazy loon. Mitt Romney is the Ken Doll of a presidential candidate. Palin was Barbie. So it goes.

save Huntsman the Republicans are a disaster but intelligence hardly equals leadership in any way.
Some of O's writings as the Pres. of Law Review. Perhaps he isn't that bright after all...
"Since the merits of the Law Review's selection policy has been the subject of commentary for the last three issues," wrote Obama, "I'd like to take the time to clarify exactly how our selection process works."
"Approximately half of this first batch is chosen ... the other half are selected ... "
"No editors on the Review will ever know whether any given editor was selected on the basis of grades, writing competition, or affirmative action, and no editors who were selected with affirmative action in mind."

they might not all be mensa members, but i would have a hard time with a leader who can't even name a magazine she reads. all of them is what she said she reads. really? sarah palin reads every magazine? that's a lot of reading.
then, who's her favorite founding father? why, all of them too! amazing. sheer brilliance.

everyone needs to stop pretending that sarah is anything more than a pretty face. we need more than that in the white house.

I think Huntsman is the only chance for the GOP to beat Obama.

That article has nothing to do with evaluating innate intelligence, ability to reason, basic factual knowledge or grasp of issues. It is only an assessment of adherence to the rules of grammer.

Should a candidate for President of the United States:
Know that Africa is not a "country" (Bachmann)
Know the national voting age is 18? (Perry)
Know what "Libya" is? (Cain)

I think it's touching to learn that there are still a small cadre of Palin supporters who think that she's qualified for anything more than grifting money from them.

You have lost your mind,Danny.
