Poll: Americans Don't Like Sarah Palin

This is no surprise. A couple of days ago a poll showed Pawlenty would lose in Minnesota if he ran. The truth is the Republican far right wing flakes are destroying the party of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.

The public's take?

Just because someone is a character doesn't mean the HAVE character...

Let's think this through. She gets 38% saying she's qualified 38%, and 60% says not qualified, thus 2% are undecided. But a total of 46% would either vote for her or consider it.

That means at least 6% thinks she's unqualified, but might vote for her anyway. Considering the impact that 6% could have in a close election, is it any wonder smart people go crazy trying to understand the outcome.

Sarah Palin/Fabio 2012!

Palin isn't going to run for the Presidency any time soon - she's just cashing in using the possibility to keep the MSM interested in her. She just wants to remain politically relevant, keep her fanbase and keep cashing in. She quit being Gov because it was too hard and she couldn't make any money doing it and her 15 minutes might have been up if she stayed her full term. She was a favorite because she bought off Alaskans, and that money was gone and the tough decisions were coming due. She knew if she stuck around and made the decisions that she'd be seen much less favorable in a years time and that would hurt her post-Governor earning power.

There is no way she'd survive a GOP primary campaign. She figures she can turn her conservative rockstar gig into a million bucks a year job. She doesn't have to do nothing except throw red meat bombs from the outside and give ten speeches a year. When her fifteen minutes runs out she'll "retire" back to Alaska with her millions and probably get elected to the Senate.

I think the book should be retitled Going to the Bank. Come to think of it, the title might fit a lot of bankers too, especially the ones on Wall Street.

"compared to only 43% favorable" -- That's not America not liking Palin, that's America almost at a draw in our view(s) of her. And that's frightening! 43% is almost HALF, a number that should be much lower! If those 43% of would just see her with some thought behind their consideration and pay attention to the inconsistencies and outright lies in her celebrity ... If only!

i don't find those numbers comforting at all. and i fear that this book tour and the accompanying media mockery will only serve her purposes.

she's a dangerous figurehead.
