"The Governor of Texas, maybe?"

Karl Rove was governor of Texas... Bush merely kept the chair warm. The question can be simply removed one step...did Bush have any experience that qualified him to govern a state?


Regarding the Palin's daughter: It is sad that these days EVERYTHING seems to be grist for the mill. I think is is partially that 27 pundits, having been hired to talk incessantly, need an infinite amount of things to talk about!
It was beyond irony last night to hear the news director of MSNBC say.. 'Next, we'll examine whether Gov. Palin's daughter's pregnancy will affect the race...or should we even be TALKING about this?'

They have to have a discussion on the air over whether they SHOULD be discussing it on the air?

There are legitimate issues about whether Palin is qualified and whether she has relevant ethical problems...her daughter's situation is NOT relevant.
