He is absolutely, 100% correct. She is a reality TV star who can raise tons of cash for conservatives, but she is not presidential material.
What is “presidential material”? Would you say Obama is of “presidential material”? If so, I’d rather have Sarah Palin.
Let us see: 1) Sarah Palin’s father wasn’t wealthy and didn’t keep her (and his other children) out of the Vietnam War with faux deferments; 2) she didn’t go to Yale since he didn’t (and couldn’t) ease her way past Admissions to the Ivy League; 3) she doesn’t curry support from conservatives yet dump all over them to curry favor with the press after using them to get elected; 4) she doesn’t criticize the really fine and successful President who selected her as Vice-President when his electoral career was otherwise at a total end; and, 5) she’s not dumb as mud and has never gotten us into a foreign war that cost 5,000 wonderful lives, cost over $ 1 trillion, and redounded to the prime benefit of Iran. Yes, she is really, totally unlike the Bushes so she can’t possibly be considered a serious candidate for President.
I tend to agree with you regarding her ability to raise $$$. Although this is pure speculation on my part, the electorate may not yet be ready to accept a female as POTUS.
