She could probably be trained, and could potentially be a very satisfactory puppet for her version of Karl Rove who would be pulling the strings.
You really think she has what it takes to be the President under her own steam? President of the United States? Of America?

I'm not defending Palin as much as pointing out Obama's lack of substance. Obama is a talking head, pure and simple... (of course in my humble opinion). All this attention to make Palin look bad or inexperienced is only bringing more attention to Obama's enormous lacking qualities. I could really care less about Palin as a candidate, more about how it's all being
played.

Strange request coming from ... well ok.
gibberish translation: check his attendance and voting records (IL state senate and US Senate), time spent on actually writing legislation vs. memoirs written... all public record, I'm not going to litigate my point. Time he actually showed up for the job, poor responsibility and effectiveness to his constituents, etc. Prime target to get fired in the real world. He's brilliant, but he doesn't do his job. He doesn't serve the people.
