Subject: Is this really Kathleen Parker?

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MDZiMDhjYTU1NmI5Y2MwZjg2MWNiMWMyYTUxZDkwNTE=

I can't believe it. I agree with most of it, but I can't believe that Kathleen Parker wrote it. Many conservative columnists are really surprising me this year, and in a good way.

I mentioned it in my post below (or I meant to, CRAFT).

It's too late; obviouisly but every time she speaks Palin reinforces that she isn't qualified for the job.

And before someone says Obama isn't qualified either; I think the Senator from Illinois has a good handle on economics and foreign policy. Not to mention constitutional law since he taught it for 12 years at University of Chicago Law School. I can't find one instance of where he told an interviewer he'd "have to get back to you later on that one".

Palin is comedy gold but she shouldn't be one heart beat away from being POTUS. No way.

I read that this morning and could not believe I was reading a Parker column! When Cal Thomas writes a similar column, that will really blow my mind!

another conservative, said he found her performance embarassing. If the McCain campaign still has confidence in her, they need to get her out in front of journalists now. It is ridiculous that she has only given three interviews so far. Let the American people evaluate her and make an educated judgement. Right now, it looks like they are hiding her.

[> Well, God Love Ya - Don't vote for her! -- Jeannine, 12:51:58 09/29/08 Mon [1]

That seems to be the simplest solution. As Ms Parker would put it: Don't Vote For Her. (that is such an annoying literary affectation.)

Ms Parker certainly did elevate her profile with this article! Not a motivation for writing it, I am sure. My favorite part:

"Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first."

sure.... NO ONE would criticize her! No criticism here! By golly, even Osama Bin Laden wants to hug her!

She is mighty powerful for a dumb girl. She is the only one who can save the party.... McCain..... AND THE COUNTRY!!!!!

She is so horrible, so stupid - so why does she need to drop out? Surely the American voter will see through this and no one will vote for her. McCain will lose. If she is this bad, Democrats should be thrilled, not clamoring for her removal.

I do agree that the debates will be interesting. Very.

I'm a Democrat and I'm not clamoring for her removal. Like you said, I simply won't vote for her.

It's the conservative columnists who are urging Ms. Palin to step down, and it's because they want to vote for the Republican ticket without fearing that Sarah Palin might be President someday.

I understand this -- if I didn't believe in Joe Biden's ability to serve as VP or Pres. someday, I would urge him to step down. I want to have complete confidence in the entire presidential ticket I vote for.

I was just expanding on it, but thanks for the clarification.

I still think my point is valid.
