There’s a difference between being more qualified than Obama and being the most qualified. I like Sarah and generally agree with her positions, but she hasn’t impressed me with her political acumen, or her ability to handle criticism.
I think that there are a number of people who are more qualified to be President, including Pawlenty, Daniels, Romney and Haley Barbour. The real question is who is both qualified and electable. Right now, I don’t know who will emerge. Huckabee is more qualified than Palin by reason of his experience as governor, but I detest him. He’s a Pharisee. Romney’s problem is that he comes from Massachusetts and is LDS. He’s been tarred as a closet liberal, which I don’t view as fair. More likely he’s a conservative who’s had to pose as more liberal than he really is. The one I like most is Pawlenty, but that may just be because I don’t know enough about him.
Palin has stong, passionate supporters but I doubt if that will overcome the blast furnace of hatred that will surely come against her from the news media and the Democrats. Also her popularity reminds me a lot of the way Oprah’s fans adore her. It’s more celebrity than real political support.
