More woes for Palin as another supporter turns

“I think she has pretty thoroughly — and probably irretrievably — proven that she is not up to the job of being president of the United States. If she doesn’t perform well, then people see it.

“So, you know, for all their tough talk, one of the things you have to ask yourself is what are George Bush and John McCain afraid of? Demanding that a country meets all your conditions before you meet with them, that’s not a strategy; it’s just naïve, wishful thinking.
