I think Sarah Palin is an intelligent, nice lady. I admire her christian beliefs and her accomplishments in her short political career. I've sized her up for almost two months now, and have come to the conclusion she's not qualified to be President. She was disastrous with Charlie Gipson and Katie Couric on
simple questions like, "what newspapers and magazines do you read?". Why am I supposed to trust that she can handle Ahmadinejad, Pakistan, and Iraq? She hasn't traveled to other parts of the world and doesn't show any real grasp of the issues. I think John McCain would have picked up on most of this as well if he'd met her more than once.I know most here will disagree with me, but that's my conclusion on Sarah Palin.
Now, give her four more years to familiarize herself with foreign policy issues, dealing with the national media, and staying on message in a campaign and I think she'll be a formidable opponent in 2012 in the primaries.

Before John McCain picked Sarah Palin, he was leading with Independents by 15%. Today, Barack Obama is winning with Indepedents by 10%. A good percentage of those Independents have an unfavorable view of Palin and the majority don't feel she's qualified.
If you're looking at some other info, I'd be glad to see something that says Sarah Palin helped with anyone except solid base Republicans.
