She did not, in my opinion, posess the gravitas to be the Vice President of the nation. I think calling her dumb is not giving her enough credit for the things she has accomplished, but did she have enough intellectual capacity, or the ability to work through the kind of weighty issues a President would have to handle, not close in my opinion. (I'm guessing this will elicit several responses as to the current POTUS's intellect, experience, etc. so knock yourselves out).

Hi eweissenbach As has been documented eve by the lefties, Palin boke through and broke down the good old boy network in Alaska. She demonstrated that one could be honest and also demonstrated that her desires were in the best interests of Alaska and its people. My wife would disagree but I cannot fault her for leaving the governorship. The lefties caused such distractions costing her and Alaska precious time and money. she recognized that as long as she held that office she would continue to be a target. quite frankly I believe she showed courage in leaving because she was well aware of what criticsm was coming. What I am not sure of is why the lefties feared her so much that they were unrelenting in their attacks and given the the HBO movie Game changer still fear her.
Palin had more politrical leadership than Obama in 2008 and leadership that required the cooperation of both parties. all Obama had to show was his experience as a community organizer whose main objective was to divide, destroy and conquer. Obama carried that same community organizer agenda with him andcontinues to operate in that same manner. of course he calls it things like hope and change and class warfare and......
I opine others can decide
