On CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, long time Democratic strategist, Paul Begala, called the former Governor of Alaska 'half a whack job'.
"Here's the problem. He is trying to treat her like a serious person. She is not. OK? She is about half a whack job. She does not have the intellectual heft of Newt Gingrich or almost anyone else in the Republican Party, and I think she has proved that," responded Paul Begala on CNN to an article written on Politico, where Republican Newt Gingrich explained how the former 2008 Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin could repair her image.
Begala continued, "I admire Newt Gingrich for pretending that she is a serious person. But Sarah Palin has proven herself to be flaky and an intellectual lightweight."
As a counterpart, Conservative Journalist Terry Jeffrey gave Palin accolades in describing her as having "rock solid principles" and further added, "I think it's not proven she can go toe-to-toe with President Obama."
