The New Republic: The Problem With Palin Isn't Lack Of Experience. It's Lack Of Engagement.

Sir, everyone has a right to their opinion. As my mother and Mr. Obama like to say, you can put lipstick on a pig, it''s still a pig! LOL

McCain/Palin ''08!

Rice/Powel ''16!

(Mr. Obama apparently can''t tell a pitbull from a pig. He''s getting ready to find out what the difference is!)

JUST READ ''SARAH QUAYLIN'' BY JONATHAN CHAIT..YOU WILLL KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THIS COUNTRY IS HEADING..READ IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH...OBAMA/BIDEN PLEASE!!!!! UNLESS YOU WANT LEGS..LIPSTICK & LUNACY!!!

If the Democrats had dared to present such a candidate as Sarah Palin - the Republicans would have jumped all over it like white on rice (i.e. look at how they continually try to down play all of Obama''s experience...where he has basically built up to this leadership position all of his life....and AT least has an active US passport).

The Republicans are the biggest group of hypocrites out there....they would never accept this woman on the left side....yet they staunchly decry ANY question of her readiness by right, left and center now. And their slogan is "country first"??? I think it''s win first....screw up the country....and use some other short quick slogan to trick people into thinking that Neo Cons are the "patriotic" people...and everyone else is wrong.

Look what Republicans have done to this Country? The richest among us got the biggest Tax Breaks....and of course everyone is paying the price for that now. They have started an unnecessary war....and pushed De-Regulation in the Financial Markets to the point that their cronism and greed has broken the back of the financial markets...and middle class citizens will pick up the bill.

Any ANYONE who is of right mind in this great Country is EVEN Considering voting for a Republican????

I truly hope Obama / Biden are elected by a landslide...so that they can clean up this mess.

No I think Sarah Palin is ACTUALLY the one confusing the first slot on the ticket with the second! But HEY! What would YOU expect, from a pitbull? Not much intelligence, obviously! But MAN!!! Does she look good in lipstick, or WHAT?

This is a moronic article.

Palin is not only very smart but is a capable politician and leader. Its clear that these posts are crammed by campaign workers for the Obama campaign.

Pailin will be an exceptional leader.

McCain''s campaign is the one that pays its people to post.

The New Liberal Fascist Republic...........give it a break everyone in the world recognizes your flaming magazine as just another one of the corrupt liberal news outlets in America.

Just like the CBS News which allows you to paste your lying liberal intolerant "fictional stories" on their website.

Bring DIVERSITY to our flaming staff of elite liberal retards....................

They DO. They have the flaming rightwing nutjobs at NRO to provide infotainment for you guys.

Nice smear attempt- a couple of comments;

1) Bush Doctrine has many meanings and can be interpreted many ways. It was a pathetic question by ABC.

2) Palin did not ''''seek'''' celebrity status - but the media went hysterical and more or less ''''created'''' a celebrity. Not like Obama who loves to be a celebrity and likes to mingle in Hollywood.

1) If she had made an honest attempt to define the ''Bush Doctrine'' in ANY of it''s possible meanings, no one would have faulted her, but she just had a ''duh'' moment.

2) She is no different than Obama on the ''celebrity'' issue. Get real. It''s the Republican ''base'' that made her a celeb, not the media. And I''m sure she wouldn''t turn away any celeb attention from, say, Charleton Heston or Ted Nugent, etc.

"Obama will win this election. But comparing SP to Dan Quayle is ludicrious. Bill Clinton said it best "it''''s a mistake to underestimate her"
And that is exactly what I see happening...."
Posted by opedanderson

Clinton''s quote is out of context. In what way did he mean not to underestimate her? For her lack of foreign policy knowledge? I guess she could have less than she does if she couldn''t see Russia from Alaska.

I like Sarah.

I like Brad Pitt. That doesn''t mean I think he''d be good as a VP or, worst come to worst, president. Liking someone''s public persona isn''t the same as knowing they are qualified to do whatever they want to do, and Palin said to an aide, after she was elected governor of Alaska, that she wanted to be president. She also laughs at insults directed at the leader of her state senate, Lyda Green. On one occasion, she thought it was funny that Green was called a "***" and a "cancer" on Alaska. Green''s a breast cancer survivor. This isn''t a rumor; it was caught on tape and was included in a story run in Friday''s Washington Post and reproduced on CBS'' website.

Still like her?
