not ready for Prime Time player?

Prediction: come November 4, Sarah Palin will not be on the Republican Presidential ticket.

Has there ever been a major party ticket member with less interest in the job, less planning for the future, and less prepared for our 24/7 media coverage?

Did she think her daughter's pregnancy could be as well hidden as her own last year?

Does the fact that her values are being both challenged and actualized by realities on the ground suggest a stronger rooting, or a significant misunderstanding of how an otherwise internal family matter for a private citizen can be a national issue for a public official.

And, did John McCain and his senior staff know of Bristol Palin's pregnancy before the selection of Sarah Palin as VP, or did they not ask the one essential question to be asked in any interview setting, 'is there anything else I should know?"

This will be one in which to stay tuned.
