Not at all. Palin was not in anyway ready for the VP run.  The only reason to pick her as VP was she was at that time one of the most popular Gov in the country and she was female.   As far as ethics there was only one of those ethics complaints that was substantiated,  when she had the state pay for her kids expenses on a trip I believe.  She had to pay the money back.  Most of the complaints came from one woman.  A woman she refused to hire into her administration.   Sarah was not ready for, and never will be, ready for national level politics.  But I must admit I also thought there was no way the Donald would be President.  But there was a campaign to destroy her, by the Democrats.  Just as there is one in every presidential election.  Both sides use everything they can to destroy the opposition.  It is how Palin became Gov in the first place.  But Palin ended her political life herself when she resigned as Gov.   The act was unforgivable to the public.
