Now there are many, many ways Sarah Palin could help this country. Running for President will never be one of them.

Well, Noel, this pointy-headed liberal just followed your advice - actually, before reading it. In the online poll "What career path should Sarah Palin pursue?" I clicked the "A run for the presidency." button.
Cheers
The name calling cuts both ways, I will concede your side is infintitely more better at it than my side.
Woodstock, you're not suggesting our present president has any those skills, are you? Palin did not have all the experience required for the office, but, come on, Obama had next to NONE. He was handsome and articulate, but now he's finding out it takes much more to lead, build trust and defend a country of independent and freedom loving patriots. I'm fearful the country will not survive him.
Her image like her words is so shallow.
I find her popularity very scary.
That said, I hope that everyone else who opposes her never forgets that name-calling and smarter-than-thou corrections of a candidate's grammatical and geographical errors are insufficient to insure an electoral defeat. Doubt me? Then consider GWB's two wins over far more intelligent opponents.
Don't forget that the USA is generally an anti-intellectual culture. Always has been. Further, this seems to be an unusually anti-intellecutal era. Don't doubt that Palin's handlers know this and will continue to capitalize on popular resentment against any candidate who can be painted as a pointy headed academic.
As much as I'd like to see her disappear for good, the know-nothing mindset she panders to won't.
Palin seems to be mainly interested in making a lot of money and getting a lot of attention. Most people don't think she's very credible or trustworthy.
