California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ... tells CNN's Campbell Brown tonight that while he thinks Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was a ''great choice,'' a political talent and a popular governor, she isn't quite ready to immediately handle the role of commander in chief, if need be. But she can learn, he said.
Here's the first excerpt:
CAMPBELL BROWN: Do you think she's qualified to be president?
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: I think that she will get to be qualified.
BROWN: She will get there? What do you mean? She's not ready yet?
SCHWARZENEGGER: By the time that she is sworn in I think she will be ready.
