McDonnell: Palin 'qualified' to be president
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) said Wednesday on MSNBC that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is qualified to be president of the United States.

"I think Sarah Palin is qualified. I think Republicans are going to have 10 or more people that are looking to run for president in 2012 .

McDonnell to speak to conservative activists at Value Voters Summit
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell will join fellow Republicans Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee in speaking to conservative activists at the Values Voter Summit in the District later this month. McDonnell and the former and perhaps future presidential hopefuls will gather at the Omni Shoreham Hotel for the fifth annual Values Voter Summit sponsored by the Family Research Council, American Family Association, Heritage Foundation, American Values and Liberty University.

"You can bet she'll be firing off some of those famous 'Palin-isms,' " Democratic Party of Virginia Chairman C. Richard Cranwell wrote to supporters in an e-mail before asking Virginia Dems to "Sound Off to Sarah" by submitting notes expressing their feelings about the visit.
