I don't know if you would consider Karl Rove a political expert. Still I find this article surprising to come from a Conservative. Do you agree with Karl Rove?

Karl Rove doesn't think Sarah Palin has what it takes to be the nation's next commander in chief. In an interview with London's Daily Telegraph, the GOP strategist and former top adviser to George W. Bush says Palin lacks the "gravitas" to be president. Rove cited in particular Palin's upcoming foray into reality TV, implying it's not becoming of someone who wants to be in the White House. "There are high standards that the American people have" for the presidency, Rove told the Telegraph. "They require a certain level of gravitas. … They want to look at the candidate and say, 'That candidate is doing things that [give] me confidence that they are up to the most demanding job in the world.'"

Rove is a Rino, everyone thinks Chaney was the man behind the curtain but it was really Rove pulling the strings.
He doesn't like any of the new conservatives. He gets pissed anytime one of the new young guns takes out one of his Rino buddies.

Rino? Rino buddies?
Elaborate what you're saying here. I believe Rove was one of the few pulling the strings. Every President seems to be nothing more then a puppet.

She is psychopath enough to be president of usa, but he is right, no way is she president material.

But i say again, to be president you would have to have the psychopath tendenies that she has. I do not like her one bit, so i could not care less, if obama is pres by the way.

Karl Rove is a Neoconservative, Neo means new, the ‘New Conservatives’ hijacked the Republican Party after Ronald Reagan’s presidency ended. During the ‘60s the Neoconservatives were Trotskyists, Marxists, Socialists and Democrats during that era but when the Anti-war Liberals drove them out of the Left they joined the GOP. At first the Paleoconservatives, Paleo means old, the ‘Classical Conservatives’ were reluctant but willing to invite them into the party.

Eventually tensions exploded between the two but Reagan was able to subdue the tensions but soon the Neocons started to take over the GOP and began to label the Paleoconservatives as racists, anti-semites and Southern reactionaries. Attacks that were only done by the Left at the time were coming from the supposed ‘right’ aimed at their fellow Conservatives.

Soon the war began for the heart of the GOP and the Paleoconservatives lost to the Neoconservatives who were more in favor of big business, military interventionism, welfare policies, tax and spend, and other Left and big government initiatives that Paleocons despised. But they were forced out of the party and into a few corners of academia and the southern populists.

Paleocons were strongly against Free Trade, they supported an Isolationist foreign policy, limited government, cultural conservatism, traditionalism and patriotism. We have seen a rise in Paleoconservative points of view coming from the Tea Party with opposition to Free Trade, opposition to interventionism and support for cultural conservatism coming to the forefront again.

Paleoconservatives derive their policies from the Conservative Democrats and Republicans of the 1920’s who kept the US out of the League of Nations and slashed the Income Tax and government spending. Karl Rove is a member of the Former Trotskyists known as Neocons, he is not a real Republican and not a real Conservative, 90% of GOP politicians have no business inside the GOP.
