Both a former Republican Governor from
Florida and a conservative host from Fox recently questioned whether Sarah Palin
has the intellect to occupy the oval office.
In a recent Newsmax interview, former Florida
Governor Jeb Bush was asked whether he thought Sarah Palin, the former less
than one-term Governor of Alaska, was a viable candidate for president. Bush
said he believes that Palin certainly has charisma but “her success depends on
her willingness to add a depth of understanding of the complexity of life we're
living in today to her rhetoric”. He said that public leaders need to have intellectual curiosity.
Fox News on-air personality Bill
O'Reilly was asked about Palin’s prospects for a presidential run in an interview
today with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s Good Morning
America show. O'Reilly said that Palin wants to run but she needs to go
to college, a world-affairs college first.
These comments suggest that Republican Party power
brokers might be questioning Sarah’s intellectual heft and her capacity to handle
complex issues.
