While it would be ideal to have candidates that fit your mold, I don't think they exist. Palin's failure is 100% a failure of preparation - we're looking for aptitude to become a great politician, and whether by her own fault or the fault of others in preparation, she's not displaying that, even though she has some innate qualities (good public speaker, by all reputation a reputation for efficient and effective work once in office) that should make this relatively easy. McCain has every right to be upset at his staff - they've done a piss poor job. It doesn't even matter whether Palin is particularly well- or ill-suited - their job is to make her into a viable candidate, and that hasn't happened. Whether you give a chef a prime cut of sirloin or the crappiest flank steak, you still expect it to be cooked correctly.
OK then... why are they playing the blame game? Ooooh it's all the fault of those people coaching her!!!

Maybe she should take a little iniatitive and try to figure that stuff out on her own. When we were in college I didn't blame bad grades on anyone else.. I was the only one to blame for that.

I don't expect all politicians to know everything about everything, but at the very least, it's nice when they have an idea what they are talking about so that their answers at least seem legit.

Palin can't even do that.

"They" aren't. William Kristol (who while conservative is hardly part of the McCain campaign) said in a piece about strategy for the Republican party that McCain is mad at the coaches. I haven't heard the campaign come out and say "It isn't Sarah messing up, it's these retards coaching her!"
