Makes you Wonder
 
Since the conversation has drifted to CEO's, I find it amazing that Romney has been slighted be the mainstream. Or maybe it is his credentials that has the MSM running scared.

After reading his biography...you will wonder what this amazing man could accomplish in the White House.

Does anybody really think Sarah Palin would be a good president?
 
I do not believe that right now she is qualified to be President nor Vice President. However with more experience in National and World conditions, she may be ready in 2016 or 2020. For 2012 I think Pawlenty and/or Crist would be better choice.
I hope the discussions on this thread doesn't get out of hand like the other one.

Run, Sarah, Run

C'mon folks if she looked like Madeline Albright instead of the way she does you wouldn't give her the right time of day.

You re probably right for how a lot of folks vote - male and female - when it comes to the "how attractive" factor. Since John Kennedy, that's been a both-party criteria.

However, I like it when folk come from the mainstream, as opposed to the party "select" list. I'm surprised that the Democratic Party continues to look solely at the party elite and not present candidates "of the people" such as Ms. Palin. The Dems have some great "of the people" potential candidates, (such as Barbara Mikulski, Jack Reed, Jon Tester and Bobby Bright to name a few), yet the Dems keep avoiding folks like them for some reason.

Ms. Palin could have come onto the scene wearing burlap and having a "how attractive" factor akin to Minnie Pearl and still have been a hit. She's the female "Joe, the plumber" and people can identify with her, and see folk like her (and most of us) as similarly qualified for top office as any Ivy Leaguer or any party legacy-type.

We need more like her, from both the major parties, to get back to "of the people."

Topper, I would take Palin over Crist any day. He could be another RINO.

Guest 07-05-2009 03:09 PM

I do not believe at this time that she would make a good President. I think she needs a lot more seasoning, more experience, and less talk about seeing Russia on a clear day.

Come to think of it, how much experience did Obama bring to the floor?

Guest 07-05-2009 03:31 PM

If Crist gets the Republican nomination for Senate I'll either vote for the Democrat or not vote.

Chief Executive... State of Alaska..Case closed.

But she is quitting before her term is complete. Not a good sign. Case closed.

Whoopee-Doo......Plenty of senators, governors quit to run. When one window closes...another opens. Besides, she did such a good job..it will be easy for her second-in-command to finish the last year.:coolsmiley:

Guest 07-05-2009 04:36 PM

Since the name is Palin, no matter what she did or does would be
 
a good sign. The media and political trench diggers will have been out in force all weekend to oil up the propaganda machine starting afresh tomorrow.

If she is going to initiate and run a campaign for another office, she's doing it the right way by quitting her job as Governor of Alaska, rather than being a part-time governor and full-time candidate. I never did like it when a politician would spend a year or so on the campaign trail (Llke Obama, Biden and McCain did) and still drew a full salary, office costs, etc. as if they were really fulfilling full-time what they were elected to do. That's just screwing the taxpayer when these folk continue to take the money and not do the job.

She’ll be much bigger now and can play on the national stage without constantly setting off state ethics investigations by loons, parasites and liberals. She’s too big to be a lame-duck governor stuck dealing with fishing licenses in Anchorage right now.

The irony is that Ms. Palin has been a governor (12/4/2006-07/31/2009) as long as Mr. Obama was a senator (1/4/2005-/11/6/2008, less over a year campaigning full-time to be president). Ms. Palin also had 10 years' elected time as a city official. And no one seems to be complaining that Mr. Obama was vocal when elected as senator that he would complete his term, but tossed that promise while still drawing a senate paycheck. So, double-standarding is alive and well.

My question is not slanted against her, where as your question is slanted in her favor. If you are unable to answer my question honestly, please don't change it to suit yourself.

Honestly, I thought that you were against Palin and would not take seriously any who would be dumb enough to think that she would be a good president.

It was in the wording.

PS How do you judge the qualifications of a potential President without comparing to some real or imagined standard.

Based on your restrictions, I do not feel that I have the education, experience, background knowledge unmitigated Gall or inflated ego to give an honest evaluation.

Just my opinion

Good luck convincing people that you are not bias. You'll need to be more convincing,

I think she would make s more than adequate President but I don't think that she should run.

If she is running, at lease she has stepped down as Gov and not screwing the people while not doing her job.

Before you mention her VP run, she was drafted.
