I never knew so many repubs were intellectual contortionists until they started defending her erroneous statements.
If someone is right about the important things what does it matter if they sometimes get insignificant and trivial details wrong? If you want infallibility elect the Pope.
OK, OK, So Mrs Palin might only be a ten times better President than Mr Obama, not one hundred times. A lot of people might settle for that.
Governor Palin...
Quit as Alaska governor. Why? Nobody really knows. But she resigned from what would likely be on the lower end of the spectrum as "hard" jobs in governor mansions...would you agree? It's not as if she had a big immigration problem, much media attention, much of an opposition party to worry about etc...
Okay fine, she quit because _______________. Insert any flowery reason you can think of.
In the mean time, has she done anything to try to lend gravitas to her record? Like Alan Simpson (of the Simpson-Bowles Commission); a long retired politician still on the national stage.
No, she's done reality TV and is a fixture on TV commentating.
This is who you guys want to nominate? I say more power to you but there may be more qualified candidates out there. Yes, I know then-Senator Obama had a qualification issue as well but few could argue that he has not been effective as President; passing the ACA whether you like it or not, settling two errant wars, etc...
Being right on the "big points" (if you characterize her as right) is useless unless you can execute a strategy to secure those goals. Has Governor Palin given you any indication that she can? That she has the heart to do what is hard, what is difficult?

She resigned because her opposition was burying her and the state in endless ethics investigations, none of which ever amounted to anything, costing her, and the state millions. That is very well documented.
She did the decent thing, of course we wouldn't expect you to get that.

She resigned because she couldn't handle running a state of 500,000 people
Obama was a Senator for 1440 days and 2920 days as a State Senator
Palin was a PTA President
You really have no shame in lying do you?
you were once sort of upstanding, not anymore since you came out of hiding in the liberal closest and have shown your TRUE colors
I didn't say she was a GOOD PTA President......only giving her credit for time served

I'm going to disagree with you. She didn't resign because she couldn't handle it; she didn't want to do it any longer. There's a difference.
This is why the "she was being sued" excuses are not holding water. Okay, lets assume she had some insurmountable law suit opposition from the democratic party of Alaska (a state gone blue since 1964). Obviously she could have mounted any type of defense and the RNC would have spent anything to back up their new star but lets just set all that aside and assume that she fell on the sword for the greater good. Okay...fine.

You've become nothing more than a agitating troll on this board and an Obama butt kisser
useless one too
He's the best poster on the board, you're comedic gold.
Lets see, if they want to see two women running against each other from both parties
Republicans would have to dig up a woman still in Political office who is as big as loser as Hillary since she already ran once and LOST
She resigned because she couldn't handle running a state of 500,000 people
I'm going to disagree with you. She didn't resign because she couldn't handle it; she didn't want to do it any longer. There's a difference.
