Bottom line: Palin did not look presidential

[iceman66]

Like many here were predicting, Palin "exceeded expectations" by managing to pull off a high school debate team level performance. That is only seen as an accomplishment because "expectations" for her were so very low. She did not at all come across as someone capable of leading this country.

I'd bet if you picked ten people at random off the street and put them through an extensive five week crash course in neocon talking points, at least five of them would do as well or better.

1. "Presidential"? Nah, like you say, she seemed more like she was in a high school

debate, with her voice inflections, her stupid folksy 'betcha', winking, blah blah blah... I can't believe she's a f-ing Governor. Argggghhh.

6. I think that the McCain people just ASSUMED

that she was qualified because she is a governor and thus did not really vet her, and now it's biting them in the ass.

2. I completely agree.

Lose the talking points and there ain't nothing there. Better not ask any follow up questions.

3. The polls agree with you

4. Presidential? She did not even look "Managerial" of a fast food joint.
