Palin Interviews Spark GOP Concerns

WASHINGTON (Sept. 27) - A conservative columnist who welcomed Sarah Palin's entry in national politics says she's proven to be a dud and should step aside as John McCain's running mate.
Kathleen Parker, writing in the National Review Online, says her "cringe reflex is exhausted" after watching the Alaska governor stumble through TV interviews and it's become clear to her that Palin is out of her league.



"No one hates saying that more than I do," Parker writes. "Like so many women, I've been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I've also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does."
Palin, new to national politics, boosted Republican presidential nominee John McCain in polls and excited the party's core conservatives when he chose the first-term governor for his ticket. Some of that shine has since worn off in polls.
Tony Fabrizio, a GOP strategist, told Politico.com that Palin’s recent CBS appearance with Katie Couric was alarming, though not disqualifying. “You can’t continue to have interviews like that and not take on water.”
“I have not been blown away by the interviews from her, but at the same time, I haven’t come away from them thinking she doesn’t know s—t,” Chris Lacivita, a GOP strategist, told Politico.com. “But she ain’t **** Cheney, nor Joe Biden and definitely not Hillary Clinton.”

They should ask McCain to stand down too for making the poor choice. Shows he cannot make solid good choices as president.

I am sure that they are embarrassed. Saturday Night Live just made fun her again. They had her interview with "Couric".
They even used Palin's own words in her interview with Couric.

If she gives SNL material and they imitate her rambling sentence fragments, how can she possibly be V.P. material?
