George Will: Sarah Palin Cannot Be Elected President

Sunday on ABC’s This Week, George Will became the latest conservative to bluntly say that Sarah Palin cannot be elected President:

“The President’s secret weapon may be the Republican nominating electorate… 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.”

The discussion about Palin continued in the web-only “Green Room segment taped after the show is over:

The Palinistas, of course, will reject all of this out of hand, but with Will, Krauthammer, and others saying essentially the same thing, and poll after poll confirming what they say, one would think that the rest of the GOP would listen and, if Palin does decide to run, act accordingly.
