As others, including Steve Z, have pointed out - Sarah Palin's nomination provided tremendous energy to the GOP base pointed out well by her tremendous acceptance in The Villages. Barack Obama was leading McCain on his mantra of undefined 'change' and retained his lead through the election.

Your question has been answered. Are you willing to go back and answer mine?

YES She is going to be one of our best presidents

Da Sgt

There's no guarantee of that. After all, the Republicans may select Joe the Plumber as their candidate. He's about as qualified.

Depends on the $$$ backers supporting her. Absolutely NOTHING else matters. She has the brains, sufficient common sense--perhaps not the greatest speaking ability--but shoots from the hip too often. HOWEVER, her awesome beauty and absolute honesty (quite refreshing, really) may transcend the 'execubabble' and routine, say-nothing rhetoric often exhibited by slick, smooth talkers (which proved briefly successful and a nice departure from the previous goofy president Bush). Bottom line: gotta have the money bags supporting you, no?

What is "qualified?" Finishing half a senate term is "qualified?" Being an Ivy League educated attorney is "qualified?"

What are the requisite education and experience to be POTUS to be considered "qualified?"

Imagine the media reaction if Sarah Palin said this:

Faux pas? anyone? lol

I think we would have been better off if Obama attended the MJ show in LA.
Not sure how much he gave away this time.

Say what you want about Sarah Palin; she creates interest and excitement !!!

This thread about her has, as I write this, generated 2,288 and 98 posts many from folks who haven't posted here since the campaign !

NO ISSUE facing the counttry gets that kind of attention !

The problem is, she generates much Negative attention. And the latest poll shows that although 71% of Repubs would vote for her for President, 75% of Democrats and 55% of Independents want her off the national stage i.e. she is loved by Republicans and loathed by everyone else. She is a very polarizing figure.

Yes, Sarah Palin would make a great president. She would add alot of stability to the office that is lacking right now with this incompetent administration. Maybe she doesn't talk like the so-called elite snobs, but she is very smart. Name me one guy that can handle all those kids, a husband and still be the best governor of the USA.

And I think she can do most of it without a teleprompter, but if she decides to use the teleprompter, all she has to do is hire someone to write all the fancy words like Obama's writer does.
