Palin represents the most dangerous type of candidate— the unqualified rabble-rouser who brings out the worst in her audiences. She has already proven to be a divisive, polarizing figure who has no problem sacrificing the most important thing we have–our unity.

This is what I think we should consider as a country: from Center for Inquiry:

“…Second, we recommend that vice-presidential candidates be selected by regional primaries and political conventions, not simply chosen by the presidential nominee. Three twentieth-century presidents died in office (William McKinley, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy) and were succeeded by their vice presidents. Although we think that Obama’s selection of Joseph Biden was a sensible choice, John McCain’s selection of the unqualified Sarah Palin was not. Clearly the present process is insufficient. In our view, the vice president should be selected by the public through the primary process rather than being the sole and autocratic choice of the candidate. Let the people decide!”

That's one I could say “amen” to.

If only I could reap such benefits for “taking one for the team”.

Being VP isn't everything in the world.

Then when the economic collapse hit, he might have had someone with him who understood that to wobble and toss long and blind passes undercut McCain's “Experienced hands on the tiller” argument, which McCain made at the debates.

I also think that Palin, like anyone in Alaska, saw national exposure as a chance to get her and her family out once and for all. As Obama admitted, you don't run for office unless you have a big ego.

I will reiterate my stance, though, that we will never have to worry about her as a national candidate again.

If her intellect matched her ambition she would be Einstein.

I have a request to the people that are interviewing her… Please

JUST LET HER TALK. Talk Talk Talk.

Give her enough rope…
