I couldn't disagree more with your editorial "Sarah Palin gets it right" June 1) where you state that "the former Alaska governor is correct that competition will breed success." It is cooperation, not competition, that leads to success.

You also state that "... it's time to stop fretting about who's in and who's out and start listening to what these candidates have to say about where they would lead this country." Ms. Palin was unable to complete even one term as governor of Alaska. She has articulated nothing about where she would lead this country. She does not allow media access and speaks only through Tweets and Facebook postings. Everything she says is scripted and vague. Cooperation is the key to success, not competition.
