Poll question: OK Palin poll
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 01:08 PM by Egnever
Do you think the fact that Palin has 80% approval reflects poorly on Alaskans?

8. LOL, honesty, it's probably the one thing that always gets me in trouble
but I've never been into the lying game.

3. 80% approval rating
reflects more poorly on Governor Palin - it reveals the extent to which she lies.

4. palin is popular
almost 60 percent of america likes her.

We dont understand why, but the reality is that they do.

So we can either continue to obsess about why this is, or we can IGNORE it since it's McCain that is running for president.

We are not going to tear her down in two months. She is not going to make some great error in two months. She wont stumble at the debates and she wont during interviews.

Time to stop counting on that. Time to focus on GOTV, Obama showing that HE is to be trusted leading this country(which he can easily do and which is really the last hurdle to the presidency and which he is on his way to doing and the debates will be a huge step towards getting there), and reminding people to vote the issues and not personality.

We do that, and he wins. We keep focusing on palin, and IMO we lose.

5. 60 percent may have liked her AT ONE TIME after her Sitcom Speech
with punchlines and emotional cues all lined up for easy response.

After they hear about her extreme right wing fundamentalist views and scandals in office demonstrating her lack of professionalism and hypocrisy, many Americans will lose respect for her.

Some may even think she's cute and "like" her, but would be afraid of her becoming the next VP because she is clearly unqualified.
