Common sense is a very valuable attribute to help with coping with every day life. However anyone that believes that common sense without intellectual curiosity, a solid well-rounded education with knowledge of geopolitics, history, economics etc is sufficient to be a competent and effective president shows tremendous naivete. A person that cannot even finish serving one full term as governor of a state with a population smaller than metro Omaha, NE shows she is thin-skinned. You need structure and commitment and forebearance to be president- a Quitter doesn't make it. Nor does a woman who backed a man in her home state that could not even prevail over a write-in candidate.

BBC News - Sarah Palin says she could beat President Obama in 2012
Obungle is so pathetic that anybody could beat him in 2012.....Donald Duck, Bozo the Clown, Jerry Springer, the teller at your local bank, any McDonalds worker, etc. You name it. Obungle won't be hard to beat.

Yep, I also don't see him saying anything about people in this thread using 'Obungle, Obobo' etc. in this thread...I guess it's okay to use schoolyard name calling as long as the recipient is on the 'enemies' side....

If McCain has chosen more seasoned and confidence inspiring running mate it would have given him a much better chance at winning in 2008.
He had a shot until she opened her mouth then all was lost.

Memo to Sarah: No you could not. For a lot of reasons, one of which is that even center right guys like me would rather take the Hope and Change clown than the likes of you.

If the 2008 election showed us that Americans would vote for a president without discrimination on the basis of race, perhaps a Palin presidency would show that Americans would vote for someone without discrimination on the basis of intelligence and class either.
