This exchange is the kind of populist vapidity that George W. Bush staked his Presidency on.
You have to wonder -- does Palin really believe this is what would make a good President, or is she just exploiting populist talking points?
SPRINGER: Do you think you would make a good president?
PALIN: You know, I, again, don't know what the future holds.
I think any average, hard-working American, though, whose heart is in the right place, who has the work ethics that is required, and can articulate what it is that America needs right now is going to make a darn good president.
