Did Palin really pass the "presidential test" That is the bottom line.

How many people looked at Palin during the debate and said yes - thats the person I want representing the US internationally. She can reason with people like former Russian president Putin and make us proud. This is the person world leaders will call on for help during international strive to bring about a peaceful solution.

I know I would trust Joe Biden in that role - no matter how cutesy and folksy Palin is - she does not engender that level of confidence. Thats why the media gets it wrong - folksy doesn't equal presidential leadership.

1. Let me think about that for a second...

uh.. no she didn't.

[SharonAnn]

3. You're right. She didn't. She didn't even pass the Veep of the PTA test.

9. about all she proved is she can ramble on

and not answer a question, while mugging for the cameras. She did better than most thought she would, but that's because she's sounded so stupid lately half the country expected her to walk on stage and drool all over herself for 90 minutes.

2. Not at all

It was so obvious what a joke she is and what an idiot McCant is for picking her. Surely there is some long term senator he could have picked.

There is no way this woman should ever be President, no matter how much experience she gets in politics.

8. Welcome to DU!

10. The polls say no.

At least two polls had internals saying she was well below 50% on that score.

11. In a sane country, NO. In the shrub-world of very low bars being set, YES, unfortunately. nt
