This amazes me: what makes a person qualified? I thought the only qualification to run for Pres was being a naturalized citizen and being 35 at the time of the election. This makes them both qualified I would think. Now, if you are talking about knowledge, problem solving, etc, that is a different story.

You parse words like Bill Clinton , always splitting hairs.
So let's say "well-qualified" since you want to be pedantic about "qualified" strictly meaning "meeting basic qualifications."
I think most people understand that a person can meet entrance requirements while at the same time fail in terms of competence, and therefore be viewed as "not qualified."
Voters see Mitt Romney as the Republican presidential hopeful most qualified to take the Oval Office, according to a new survey.
In a Rasmussen survey out Monday, 49 percent of likely voters said the former Massachusetts governor was qualified to be president, compared with 25 percent who said Romney was not qualified.

I am just playing Devils advocate: I am not a Palin supporter in case you didn't know. I am tired though of the slams constantly...
People want someone with a business experience (unlike Obama) and being able to win independants vote, and conservative democrats vote...Romney can, Pawlenty and Huntsman too.
Honestly I would love to see Rick Perry running.
As a Democrat, I would love nothing more than for Perry to run. He'd have no chance in hell.

As a Democrat you'd cry
Rick Perry runds the best state in job creation and job growth, he has charisma, he's liked by latinos...He would be a very dangerous opponent for Obama
In 2010 he completely crushed his Democratic opponent

Sorry but Rick Perry won't be winning many independent or moderate voters with his "Texas should secede from the Union" mentality.
Romney has been governor, a successful businessman, and saved Salt Lake's Olympic Games.I think he's clearly qualified.
All true and he wouldn't embarrass himself and the nation if he was president the way Palin would.
