Here is an interesting column about Sarah Palin's 2012 electoral prospects. The columnist seems to think that Barack Obama would defeat Palin. What a laugh! She would trounce him. She is an irresistible force in American politics, and growing stronger by the day (especially when juxtaposed to Obama's fecklessness, incompetence, and corruption). The columnist cites a poll to the effect that 71% of Americans believe Palin to be unqualified to be president. What?! She is significantly more qualified than Barack Obama was in November 2008, so what does that say about him? What organization had Obama run when he was elected? Does he have any entrepreneurial experience? Was he ever a governor or a mayor? Did he have any foreign-policy experience? I wish people would think before they speak. That something is said a lot doesn't make it true, except perhaps in the fevered minds of progressives.
