    Is Palin Ready For VP or President!
    Just a simple yes or no. Do you think she has enough knowledge, enough credentials, enough of everything and is ready for the position of VP or, if something happens, President?

    Yes, absolutely!

    Any woman who can withstand the constant demands of four children and a govenorship can handle the rigors of being president! It's not your credentials and knowledge that make you capable, it's attitude and flexibility.

    No, she is completely untested

    Yes she can easily fulfill the functions of the Vice President.

    Regarding the possibility of stepping in as President ;Unless you think that a President McCain will die on Jan 21 then there would be sufficient time for "on the job training " ;a luxury that an inexperienced President Obama would not have.

    She has the credentials required for the VP nomination. She is the best conservative out there for the job.

    Vp, yes

    Pres, no.

    BUT. As with any President, he can do little on his/her own. I think that if she became Pres. She would be wise and surround herself with good people.

    Yep, she is a political person, you don't become Gov of a state without playing "hard ball" at least on your state level. She is being played as the mom with kids, taking them to sports and so on, for the camera and votes, she is the Gov of a state, if this was a man and a Gov, no one would even think twice.

    In fact one could ask the same issue on Obama who has perhaps far less political background over all. Where has he been governor?

    I'm actually quite surprised with the results on this forum. The 2 other forums I asked on, 85% said no. I wonder what the difference is.

    A better question would be "Is Obama ready to be president?"

    I hate it when people get so unbelievably angry over politics. Please remember that no matter who you vote for this November, that at least we have the freedom to vote. And the freedom to have an opinion and speak it without suffering severe consequences. It is unfair to get angry with someone who wants to vote for McCain or Obama. That is their opinion and they have their reasons. Just as you have your reasons. We need to respect that. Talking politics often gets heated, due to someone wanting to change someone else's mind just because they don't agree with them.

    Nah, she doesn't even know what are the names of newspapers so how in the world can she be VP?

    Look at Palin now. What's done in the dark will come to light. I critise because people can't go about life making un educated decisions. Palin is undoubtebly unprepared for the task. She barely has control over her own home. And ignorant people are ready to hand over the key to one of the most important offices in the country. And I should hush because others don't use there stinkin noodles (brains). Never If its wrong I must address it. And might I ad you look lovely!

    Certainly she's as qualified as any other, unless a former president or vice president decides to run again - how would any candidate be aptly qualified for a position they've never held? It's a learn as you go situation.

    She has very little experience for us to gather a solid conclusion from... which is what some are saying about Obama... yet she has even less and very limited experience. McCain has a lot of experience, but we must also question how effective his experience has been. Everyone is in question now. When electing Bush, very few questioned his abilities. He had experience and look what we got. No matter what, we're taking a chance with whomever we elect.

    Thanks for the negative rating on an opinion.Why don't you post a reply so I can return the favor ?

    Regarding your comment. Palin will be VICE PRESIDENT NOT PRESIDENT . Do you understand the difference?

    Palin will have time to familiarize herself with all the issues and has indeed done much of that already.

    You should read up on how badly JFK was pushed around by Khrushev in the ealy days of his administration .Khrushev measured Kennedy as inexperienced and exploited this perceived weakness. That led to the Cuban Missile Crisis . Now keep in mind ;Kennedy had served in Congress and a FULL TERM in the Senate before running for President.Obama did some time in the State Senate and found the men's room in the US Senate before announcing his run.

    What do you think Biden meant when he said that a President Obama would be seriously tested by our enemies ?

    Palin will be an understudy . I fully expect President McCain to serve his full term and if by some reason he can't. Palin has at least shown she has executive experience ;something Obama doesn't.

    No, I don't think so... but one day I might be proven wrong... that is, when mccain dies of skin cancer and palin becomes president.

    I'm surprised at the results of this forum too. It has been proven to me time and time again that the American people are hung up on the "looks" of a person. Sarah Palin is a very pretty little thing. If she was dowdy, fat, pock-marked and missing some of her teeth, the ignorance that she shows every time she opens her mouth would be NOTICED by all the die-hard conservatives, not just half of them.

    Yeah we just like her because she LOOKS like the all American conservative.
    Nah, She has more going for her than liberals want to admit.

    Hmmm, according to your theory... is that how Obama got the Presidency??
    After all...

    No, I'm a conservative but I don't think she has the intelligence, experience or right values to be president. Her views are a caricature of everything that is wrong with the Republican party. We need small-government, socially moderate and internationalists running the party, not the warmongers, religious right, and big spenders.

    Of course Sarah can run the president's office...

    She would get a lot of action out of some lazy waste's of skin...
    All she would have to do is threaten to swat them with a wooden spoon.

    She would also strike fear into the likes of the Nanster.

    According to several different polls she is.

    According to what I have read, 7 of 10 Republicans thing that she could be President. Another poll has 6 of 10 independants backing her. So she's definitely viable.

    She's a quitter! With no real explanation. Doesn't she at least owe that to the people that voted for her?
