A Momentary Lapse of Insanity

WaPo's Charles Krauthammer gets it right. FOR ONCE.
[Sarah Palin] is not a serious candidate for the presidency. She had to go home and study and spend a lot of time on issues in which she was not adept last year, and she hasn't. She has to stop speaking in clichés and platitudes. It won't work. It could work for eight weeks if you're the number two candidate, as she was last year. But even so, she got singed a lot in that campaign. You cannot sustain a campaign of platitudes and clichés over a year and a half if you're running for the presidency.
Still, if you're a Democrat, you seriously want her to run in 2012. Expose the Republican party's pathological addiction to all things Christian and "pro-American." Her defeat at the hands of an experienced President Obama would signify the final nail in her coffin.
