Republicans dissing Palin: "She's just not ready for prime time"

Now they're figuring it out? Palin was never ready for prime time, but the Republicans loved her last fall. They thought she could be president back then. Not anymore according to "Washington Whispers":

Worse than Dan Quayle before her, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's bright star has fast faded in the eyes of Washington Republican officials and analysts, calling into question her efforts to become a national party figure ready to run for the White House. "She's just not ready for prime time," said a party strategist who has worked for former President Bush. "I mean, she's starting to look like she's having trouble being governor of Alaska." At issue is her weak debut, hampered by the mishandling of her by Sen. John McCain's campaign, and subsequent family issues such as the most recent tiff with Levi Johnston, the father of her first grandchild and ex-fiancé of her daughter Bristol.
If that party strategist really means it, why won't that party strategist use his or her name? Because there's still a very good chance that the GOP will nominate her. That's how bad things are for the Republicans. Despite her many flaws, Palin may still be their best hope.
