You know you're in trouble, as the Republican nominee for the vice presidency, when someone as rabidly-conservative as Kathleen Parker is firing criticisms at you. But, that is precisely the position that Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for the vice presidency, finds herself in these days. Parker, who generally takes in, processes and spits out Republican talking points like a machine, has shown that even some on the right wing are becoming increasingly concerns with the viability of Gov. Palin, whose popularity and approval ratings are plummeting. "Some of the passionately feminist critics of Palin who attacked her personally deserved some of the backlash they received. But circumstances have changed since Palin was introduced as just a hockey mom with lipstick - what a difference a financial crisis makes - and a more complicated picture has emerged. As we've seen and heard more from John McCain's running mate, it is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem. Quick study or not, she doesn't know enough about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion." Here is a final comment from Parker on Gov. Palin, "Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first."
