Kathleen Parker, a conservative columnist, said Friday that Governor Palin is "out of her league" and should leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party. I've usually been a fan of Parker's and have usually enjoyed and agreed with many of her columns. She's that rare conservative who seems to seems to have a progressive streak, capable of seeing the world in more than black and white.
Parker's Friday column included, "It was fun while it lasted." "Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who is clearly out of her league."
Parker goes on to say that "If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself." "If Palin were a man, we'd all be guffawing, just as we do every time Joe Biden tickles the back of his throat with his toes. But because she's a woman - and the first ever on a Republican ticket - we are reluctant to say what is painfully true."
Parker's comments follow those by prominent conservatives David Brooks, George Will, and David Frum who have all publicly questioned Palin's readiness to be vice president.
Most polls currently show Obama gaining strength and he now leads in consistently Republican states like Virginia and North Carolina. My own personal thought....dumping Palin would finally show that McCain is putting the country first instead of his desire to be President. Do it for the country John....dump Palin!
