Readerreader expostulated: " Palin strikes me as a competent state administrator, and I assume she could do the same at the federal level."
Bad assumption! The woman is an ignorant boor, ignorant (beyond rehabilitation short of a brain transplant) and a Christian fundy extremist. (Which automatically means her decisions at the federal level would be terrible if in any position of power).
AK governor, having lived in Alaska, isn't saying a whole lot. I'd warrant it isn't anywhere on a par with being Prime Minister of Barbados - where I also lived.
But hey, yes there can be room for her somewhere on the federal level: mayhap chief administrator in charge of cleaning the assorted federal agencies carpets, and kitchens!
