Should Sarah Palin Drop Out of the Vice Presidential Race?

September 26, 2008 05:31 PM ET | Morgan E. Felchner | Permanent Link | Print

Over the last few days, Sarah Palin started to come out of her shell. She did an interview with Katie Couric and took a question on the way out of an event. She performed less than exceptionally, to put it nicely. Robert, who was decidedly less nice, called the interview painful. After these bumbled interviews, questions about her ability to lead have reached fever pitch and now even some conservatives are calling for her to rethink her candidacy. Kathleen Parker writes on National Review Online that Palin should just drop out for the good of her party and her country. After all, Parker says, "No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first."

Palin needs to take her mental medicine

Palin needs to take medication. She is as a republican himself put it a "Whack Job".

She is not doing John McRasist any good!

McRasist looks like he needs a wheelchair, I don't think he would even last 4 years. Then we would be stuck with with Whack Job.

Please think before you pull the lever to vote. We can't afford 4 more years of the same, and we certainly can't afford to have a whack job running the white house!

SARAH PALIN SHOULD DROP OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS SIMPLE SARAH A MOTHER, PALIN=FAMILY=STAY HOME OBAMA AND BIDEN ALL THE WAY VOTE FOR OBAMA AND BIDEN
