Palin was put into a no win position from the start. I think she's the right fit for Alaska, and given time, she may have gained real and meaningful experience and stature on the national level.
The McCain campaign put her out there like a lamb led to slaughter and the press had absolutely no intention of letting the VP candidate for the Republican Party gain any sort of traction. The McCain staffers were their own worst enemy and Palin was such a rookie that by the time she figured out who and where the players in the room were sitting, she was SOL, along with the entire McCain campaign.
In all my years, I've never seen such a poorly run effort on either side. But that was actually not Palin's fault.
There were candidates who were more seasoned and better prepared. But it would not have mattered. At the end of the day, it was Obama's time.
