Default Can you picture Palin running the country?

I can't! Even if I hated her, I could not picture her running this country. I can see Palin working for QVC or in the fragrance department at Macy's but president? NEVER. And for your information, I am non-partisan, I dislike both sides equally and I am not voting for Obama either. She simply does not have what it takes to be president.

Sure. Better she, with executive experience, than Obama or Biden with no executive experience.

Edit-Obama wrote a book and some scholarly journals. Big deal, my philosophy teacher has too but that doesn't qualify him for President. Well, maybe it does by the sound of the media and everyone else fawning over Obama.

If Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter can (theoretically) do it, then just about anybody can. I'd say she's light years ahead of those guys in terms of intelligence and common sense.

I voted for McCain in the primaries when he was up against Bush.

The Republican party has sunk to a new low with Palin's elevation to "next Vice President" (which translates to "Potential President").

Our country is already in big trouble. We don't need to make it worse.

Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger has executive experience, so does Jesse Ventura.

Forgetting someone...how about adding McCain to that list as well.

She has run a state that is larger than most countries. She has an 80% plus approval rating. She obviously must be doing a few things right.
Whats the approval rating of Congress again? What about the senate?
