“Her problem is less experience than 1) she resigned and 2) drama”
The above just confirms that you dislike Palin. You follow politics so you know the rationale for her resigning as Governor. I won’t insult your intelligence by covering that again.
Nothing personal, but your McCain credentials from the beginning show 1)you have no perspective on what it takes to win 2)you are a liberal or possibly a moderate Republican.
Your credibility is zero when it comes to Palin, because you’ve shown your fondness for RINOs. Again, your supporting McCain from the beginning of the Primary to your organizing of the McCain List from the beginning puts you square with the RINO Republicans.
That is fine, but your credibility in evaluating conservative candidates and consistently posting negative Palin posts is what it is.
First, I don’t dislike Sarah Palin so you are just flat-out wrong on that point. In fact I just pre-ordered her book today for a Christmas present.
The rest of your post is a well disguised and “polite” ad hominem.
I have no fondness for RINOs - if by RINO you mean Snowe, Collins, Schwarzenegger, Graham, the former Arlen Specter, Bloomberg, and the likes. McCain would be the exception (although you call him a RINO, I don’t). I supported him with notable reservations. What I found most compelling however was his American story, not his specific politics (which I both agreed and disagreed with). Incidentally I am pretty much indifferent to McCain’s senate re-election bid.
But if by RINO you mean Huckabee and Romney then I don’t agree. While I am somewhat skeptical of them both, I have a favorable opinion of them overall and would be open to supporting their respective bids if certain criteria were met. Right now I have no official horse in the race. I don’t dislike Palin but she doesn’t even make the qualifying bar.
“You follow politics so you know the rationale for her resigning as Governor.”
Let me ask you honestly: what do you think is going to happen if she is president? I can tell you that the onslaught will be considerably more ferocious. That is a real question that I guarantee will be asked of her not only at GOP debates and by GOP contenders (and non-contenders) but by the Obama campaign and by liberal national debate moderators. She’s going to have to come up with a pretty convincing answer, and in this age of sound bites, one that is concise and understandable.
