Listen. I have no dog for our GOP 2012 candidate yet.

Mrs. Palin couldn't even handle the pressure of her own child's pregnancy without running and hiding for a week or more on end,during what was a critical time period of the last election. That situation (of which she was well aware of, well before anyone else and had every opportunity to be prepared for) is no pressure, like the pressure that a commanding CinC/POUTUS has to deal with daily. And she completely failed in her response to the situation. Running and hiding is not an answer.

Then, Mrs. Palin was made a fool of by even bigger fools in the MSM. Be it Couric or Gibson. She didn't have the leadership skills to set a premise or not be made a fool of by debating from a false premise. I've seen leadership plenty in my life / line of business. The lady does not have it. She may be right on plenty of issues and I find myself agreeing with her often. However, she is not a leader. And when pushed she has folded under limited pressure a number of times.

Both of your examples are weak, and I sincerely doubt they are the real reasons for your distaste of Palin.

Furthermore, you've added a lot of your own negative spin to both events.

Palin, in her public appearences, has handled herself much better on the whole, then anyone else on the public stage, and she is in her own league when it comes to potential Presidential candidates for 2012.

And one ambush interview with a faux journalist that edited the interview to put Palin in the most negative light is hardly evidence of her lack of credability or readiness for the POTUS position. Like I said before, you are putting your own extremely negative spin on this which leads me to believe you are not being totally honest.

The left hates no one more than they hate Palin.

They see her as a threat because she connects with a broad spectrum of voters.

Furthermore, the fighting spirit she has demonstrated by fighting back hard against anyone who falsely attacks her, her family, or her values, is another character attribute that puts her head and shoulders above every other possible POTUS 2012 candidate.

Her libertarian-Republican position on the issues, which she communicates in a manner that is both intelligent, SINCERE, and understandable to the broad spectrum of voters is another reason she stands abover every other possible 2012 candidate.

Her successful tenure as Governor accomplishing Oil piple line contract success, cutting the size of government, fighting for the refusal of TARP monies that were unfunded and would have left the State of Alaska holding the bag fiscally while also taking way some of their liberties, etc. show a leader who is ready to take the POTUS seat.

Your evidence is thin and really irrelevant, and as I have stated already twice, leads any intelligent person to say, "What's the real reason you dislike her so much?" because your reasons don't rise to the level of being taken seriously.
