Oh yes, he went there. We’ve been having a running debate on Twitter this afternoon about Sarahcuda and my contention that criticism of her is verboten among righty blog readers, HA’s included. This thread will be an interesting test case. Most of the heat Kraut takes will be for his contention that “You cannot sustain a campaign of platitudes and clichés over a year and a half if you’re running for the presidency.” Didn’t Captain Hopenchange do exactly that? Well, yes and no. Granted, the most memorable line he uttered in 18 months on the trail was “Yes we can,” but he’s done countless policy interviews, debated Hillary 20 times and McCain three, and held numerous press conferences. The TOTUS jokes are fun but The One’s perfectly capable of straying off script when need be. Is Palin? She seems at ease when discussing energy or life issues but the jury’s still out on most everything else, which is why Kraut feels comfortable asserting that she hasn’t (yet) brushed up on national policy the way we all thought she would.

I’m worried about this too.
This same crap was posted an hr ago.
The more it is posted, doesn’t make it true.
Sarah Palin isn’t a serious candidtate for president.
And baraq was?
What’s wrong with this picture?
Allahpundit should take over LGF and leave HotAir to Ed Morrissey. Both HotAir and LGF would improve tremendously.
Kraut said the same thing on the Special Report “All Star panel” last week. He’ll be eating his words when she wins the nomination.
If people want to believe the smears and lies against gov. Palin, then they deserve Obama for a second term because that is what they will get.
If only Palin knew as much as the almighty Obama.
I like Palin just fine....but I couldn’t agree more.
She was head and shoulders above the pieces of crap that were foisted upon us by the respective party bosses!
Kraut was just saying “If Palin did X Y Z she would be better positioned to win the nomination and be taken more seriously”. He wasn’t saying that she sucked or that he wouldn’t vote for her or anything like that.
Palin is not a serious candidate for President.........this year, or next.
There is no Election. Why campaign now ?
Its just time for continuous Serious attacks upon Palin.....which happen for what reason ? How come ? Maybe she IS more than “serious” to some.
Wouldn’t he would be eating his words if she actually won the presidency not just the nomination?
I for one would be much happier with a candidate with core convictions and principles than I would with a polished, articulate, but unprincipled policy wonk like Newt or a "say anything to get a vote" RINO like Mitt or McCain.
Sarah was a fine candidate the first time and would be the second time, too. The problem is in the perception of her as unqualified, and the Republicans have only made this worse. They should have stood up for her in the first place and pointed out that she was infinitely more qualified than obama. They didn’t, and this is what has happened.
Krauthammer can’t walk and is lucky to have any work at all. His opinion is bogus.
Of course. But if she wins the nomination, she wins the Presidency. If she loses the nomination and we’re stuck with yet another RINO in the general, then say hello to Obama’s second term.
Krauthammer picked Lamar Alexander to be the nominee in 2000.
Kraut and the other “all stars” lost me on election night after they all sat around and speculated as to whether Obama would govern as a centrist. Talk about denial!
