I've said it before, Sarah Palin, and I'll say it again.

Sarah Palin is completely unqualified for the position of Vice President of the United States. And it's gotten to the point that even people in her own party agree.

This is not the first time I've written about Sarah Palin. And, yes, I am a registered Democrat, so some people could probably argue that I'm biased against her. Which is a little bit true. I don't agree with her political platform, or her personal beliefs. But beyond that, I don't see how she is possibly qualified for the second highest office of our great country.

As I've also said before, I'm not anti-John McCain. I happen to think he is a very good candidate. Not my personal pick, but a good candidate. I know, that's strange to hear coming from me. But he has served this country in many ways, and I even agree with one or two points of his platform. But he lost any ounce of my support when Sarah Palin started opening her mouth.

Sarah Palin is smug. She uses sarcasm when it's highly inappropriate and comes of as being condescending (see: Charlie Gibson interview). She dances around issues, and has proven herself quite apt at NOT answering the direct questions she is asked.

But my biggest issues with her is that she never comes off as being intelligent enough.

Yesterday, she was quoted as saying: "I think they're just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying, 'You know what? It's time that normal Joe Six-Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency,' and I think that that's kind of taken some people off-guard."

Here's a news flash: I don't want a "normal Joe Six-Pack American" as our VP. (I know she didn't refer to herself that way, but you get my point, right?) I want someone who is SIGNIFICANTLY smarter than the average American.

I want the leaders of America to be good public speakers. To be well spoken, eloquent and worldly. To not embarrass our country when they meet with foreign heads of state. To be dignified and classy and represent our country in the best possible way. And I'm not talking about how we as Americans see our leaders - I'm talking about how the world sees our leaders. It is absolutely crucial that our next leaders are seen as more intelligent and competent than our current ones.

I'm not a good public speaker. I sometimes fumble words, I don't always articulate exactly what I want to say. And that's totally fine. I'm not destined to be someone who is in the public spotlight. But that's the point: neither is Sarah Palin. I know that that is one of my weaker points. I can't comprehend how no one has alerted Sarah Palin that it's one of hers, and for her to have been chosen as a potential VP with that detriment.

It's unacceptable for a candidate who is running for Vice President to not have the basic communication skills necessary to answer questions in a succinct and clear way.

Last night, Huffington Post contributor Jim Moore went on with Keith Olbermann and said: "I think we're dealing here with someone who is as severely incurious and intellectually incapable as our current president is." He went on to say: "From the beginning, I've always thought of her as sort of George Bush in lip gloss and high heels. I don't think there's much difference between the two except that George Bush might be smarter."

I don't necessarily think that Sarah Palin is a moron. I do however, think that she is a small town politician with a small town mind who is completely out of her league.
