IMHO, the thing that made Palin unqualified was her theocratic views.
As for the party, the Republicans made a mistake in not letting Palin be Palin. Mind you, I don't think she was the appropriate choice, but then they tried to make her fit a mold she was not meant to fit.
KSigkid, you're right ... the media annointed the messiah from the start. The only question was whether the media could overcome the Clinton machine.
