Fareed Zakaria sums up Palin problem. Please give this a listen.

Fareed Zakaria is an excellent journalist. I first noted him on the Daily Show, where he'd come on to lend some factual credibility between the jokes. He recently got his own show on CNN, which I haven't seen, but he is able to make very intelligent assessments without bias (at least in my opinion).

What I like about his statement below is that he stresses this elecction "Is not a game" and underscores the serious situation we are in and how we require real leadership and governance. The next 8 years are going to be a horrible time to be President... we need someone who can bear that load and watch them age 40 years in two terms.

Here's the article noted in the video.
