The first shot: Clinton vs. Palin

It’s a political junkie’s dream: Sarah Palin versus Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And it’s happening.

RELATED: As 2016 race begins, GOP faces its Palin problem

Two days after Sarah Palin said she is considering a bid and held up a “Ready for Hillary” car magnet during her weekend address at an Iowa conservatives convention, the group took the bait and fired back, accusing Palin of signaling the beginning of a GOP anti-Clinton crusade.

“Over the weekend, a flock of Republican presidential hopefuls spoke in Iowa, and it was interesting. What caught our attention the most was when Sarah Palin actually held up our Ready for Hillary car magnet and said to the audience, ‘I'm ready for Hillary, are you?’ ” said a fundraising email from the group to supporters.

:: accusing Palin of signaling the beginning of a GOP anti-Clinton crusade. ::

(1) in what substantive way is a political campaign in opposition to HRC NOT anti-Clinton? Why isn’t Romney’s likely campaign not covered as ^anti-Clinton^? Is the WashEx stoking the flames of opposition while expecting HRH’s coronation?

(2) they used the term “crusade”. They must be Islamophobic!

and so it starts, no in “continues” as the media joins ranks to pile on to Palin, the one they fear most. At one time I thought Palin might be a good candidate for POTUS but now think she would better serve as Secretary of Interior. ANYONE who rises to the lever of president needs to have class and recent a recent sign displayed with Palin assisting told me a lot about the lack of class. She may be beautiful, love her kids and the outdoors but she’s not, IMO, POTUS material.

On her worst day, even IF she DID possess every personal foible in the world (but doesn't) and no matter WHAT goes on in HER family.... Palin is a better choice than EVITA... PERIOD!

Evita at her BEST shouldn't be anywhere NEAR power. EVER!
The MSM has documented what Evita has done all her life when remotely associated with power, when MARRIED to power, when GIVEN power, etc... and it ain’ pretty!!

If all we could say is that Evita is incompetent, that would be bad enough... but there is more to it than that. It is universally acknowledged that she is an unprincipled and self serving creep.

THIS is not news... Nor is it biased or conditional. This assessment of her character goes WAAAAAY back! Keep HER out of the WH!

Dave:

I have always thought that SecInt was the perfect “jumping-off” point for governor Palin given her life in both Utah and Alaska.

From there...well, if she can corral enough Patriots to make a POTUS run...I’d support that.

Class? Like William B.J. Clinton? Like Barack H. Obama? Like Lyndon B. Johnson?

No, I don't think "class" is necessary at all.

Name a President since Washington, that would meet your requirements for POTUS.
