The survey took place November 13-15 (09)

As a hard core RW I'd expect that you'd question anything from CNN. Bear in mind, you can certainly look into their methodology by actually doing some homework instead of blindly questioning it.. Opinion Research is a legit organization with historically accurate polls.

Now, assume it was biased for a moment. 28% in this poll suggested that Palin is qualified to be president. 28%

Even if it were flawed, it can't possibly be that blatant. Typically pollsters are +/- 3 points, maybe 5.

You realize that if it had an error of 50%, it would still suggest only 42% of Americans thought she was qualified.

That speaks volumes. But only if you're actually willing to hear a dose of the truth.

actually if you would read many of my posts you would see, that, first of all I am not a Palin supporter in any way, means or form..If she were the candidate, I don't know who I would vote for? Most likely the libertarian candidate, but I doubt I will have to face that delima and 2- I am really not far right wing, I am to the right of middle, that is for sure, but certainly not right wing extremist...I just can not bring myself, at this stage of the game to take any of this too seriously and we all know any poll, is based on who is asking the questions and how they are being asked. Is she qualified right now? I would probably have answer NO, certainly neither is Obama, will she be qualified in 3 years, heck I don't know. it depends on if she really wants it and is willing to learn.

Nonsense. Utter nonsense. Figured you blow off the poll without research the methodology.

I doubt she will run for a national position ever again. She has learned how much digging into your personal life there is. She wants to keep her family mess in Alaska. That's why she watches Levi like a hawk. Also why when Bristol was being interviewed by Greta V. S. she was just behind the curtain and popped in when she thought the questioning was getting to warm to revealing or spilling the beans. This was right after Levi's son was born.

She is being smart now by selling a book of mean nastiness about a man and his campaign workers put her on the national scene. Rake in the dough today Sarah, who knows what may be up by the end of your planned signing tour.

Someone, eventually will tell the real story of the 2008 Republican campaign regarding Palin. But it won't be me.
Just tell us the real story about how John McCain, of all people, became the Republican presidential candidate.

...or pay attention to polls taken way too soon. Obama is just getting his "feet wet," staying one step ahead of the mortician by leaving the country at the exact right moment. He pays attention and gets an advantage by things like Mike Jackson's overdose invigorating the headline writers when, otherwise, people would be watching him spending our money and simply printing more of it as a coverup for his profligacy.
