Sarah Palin Watch: Not Ready for Prime Time?

September 26, 2008 /
Sarah Palin in NY 9 25 2008

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin talks to reporters outside of Engine Company 10, Ladder Company 10, next to the World Trade Center site, Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008

Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker makes this argument that Sarah Palin is “out of her league.”.

As we’ve seen and heard more from John McCain’s running mate, it is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem. Quick study or not, she doesn’t know enough about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion.

Jim Geraghty rebuts – well, kind of……

This is an issue that voters will have to consider before voting. But, is she capable?

Sarah Palin has plenty of life experience (in and out of politics albeit on a small Alaskan stage) that she can bring to the Vice Presidency. Does this outweigh her number of years as a “big time” pol?

Can the same argument be made of Barack Obama?

Update:

Sadly, Flap was not as eloquent.

    palin just doesn’t have the experience or intellect to be a world leader on the world stage. she is a good distraction from the policies thou. and before you say anything about obamas experience -obama is a exception to the rule cause of his intellect. he is a born leader who has a vast knowledge of the issues which a great leader needs. that is why he is a presidential canditate after a fews years in the senate. john mccain is a presidential canditate cause of his percieved distance from g w bush. if bush didn’t wreck the GPO mccain wouldn’t be the nominee.
