Will: Palin 'Cannot be Elected' Prez
Huffington Post reports:
There is no way Sarah Palin can be elected president, according to conservative commentator George Will, who argued over the weekend that a primary victory by the former Alaska governor could serve as President Obama's "secret weapon."
"The president's secret weapon may be the Republican nominating electorate, because there is one person, high in the polls, Sarah Palin, who cannot be elected president because she cannot compete where elections are decided -- in the collar counties outside Chicago, Montgomery County outside of Philadelphia -- just can't compete there," Will said on ABC's "This Week."
Will elaborated in a subsequent internet-only interview in "The Green Room," referencing Palin's failed endeavors after losing the presidential race in 2008:
"She had to go back and be a successful governor of Alaska, and she had to do her homework. She's done neither. The hope is that perhaps she's making so much money -- and she's a very astute businesswoman -- that she won't want to take the pay-cut to become a mere presidential candidate."
While Palin has fielded increasing criticism from fellow conservatives on a variety of issues, Will's attack marks the second time in a week the former vice presidential candidate has been cited for her supposedly minimal chances of defeating Obama.
