Even GOP activists are turning against Sarah Palin

By Steven Thomma | McClatchy Newspapers


ROCK HILL, S.C. — As Sarah Palin wonders whether to run for president, she might want to talk to people in places such as South Carolina.

She'd find her star fading, and her prospects daunting.

Republicans still like her, but now they openly question whether she could or should be nominated for president, let alone elected.

At a recent gathering in South Carolina, the site of a crucial early presidential primary next year, party activists said the former Alaska governor didn't have the experience, the knowledge of issues or the ability to get beyond folksy slang and bumper-sticker generalities that they think is needed to win and govern.

Many are shopping for someone else. They're looking at Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., for example, and seeing what they call a smarter, more experienced candidate who's equally as conservative.

"Sarah Palin with a brain," said Gail Moore, a Republican from Columbia.

1. Oh, that's not fair. I think Sarah and Michele are equally matched in the brains department.

2. Is this site a pro-repug site?

Looking at some of the responses, it appears to be conservative, but maybe it's just my take on the subject. Regardless, they still seem to put a sympathetic spin on good old Palin. A progressive slant would ask the question about Palin's ability to govern, and the rest of the article would consist of:
