Voters should like you. Palin is very well-liked among conservatives, but in the broader public, she is not well-liked. This condition is not improving with familiarity. Fifty-two percent of those polled have an unfavorable opinion of her, according to a recent Gallup Poll. That was her highest negative result ever in that poll. In a recent ABC/Washington Post poll, her unfavorable rating was 54 percent. She is particularly unpopular with independents and moderates, the kinds of voters in swing states who determine elections. In the recent ABC/Washington Post poll, 67 percent of voters said Palin was unqualified to be president. This means that it's not just Democrats (82 percent) and independents (70 percent) who don't think she's ready for the job. Only 47 percent of Republicans think she's qualified, though more than 70 percent have a favorable view of her.

She would need to keep her mouth shut between now and 2012....so she really doesn't stand a chance. She'll keep giving up those priceless gems such as...

Sarah Palin's North Korea Slip: 'We've Gotta Stand With Our North Korean Allies' (AUDIO)


Sarah Palin is like the Marie Osmond of the political world. She has some insanely diehard "fans" that keep giving her the illusion that she is popular and relevant but the rest of us wish that she would just go away.

Voters are more fickle than a 14 year old girl.

They may 'like' you today, and next week there's someone coming up that looks better, sounds better, has a better teleprompter speechwriter, etc.

Or maybe even they'll begin to see what a behemoth the government has become and vote changes that direct this country away from it's own destruction.

Choices and decisions.......

Sounds a helluva lot better than Hope and Change - at least to me.

Run Sarah Run! We need your expertise on the 2012 GOP ticket. Don't listen to this guy. What does he know? Would he be in favor of aid to the Country of Africa? Would he support our friends in North Korea? Would he have voted for Bristol on DWTS? No, I tell ya! Don't listen to the man, Run and win the GOP nomination, PLEASE!

Those people who actually think that Sarah Palin is presidential material are a testament to the inferior US educational system. Sarah Palin is just one more example of the dumbing down of America.

People can worship her like the celebrity/reality show star she is but far fewer people will want a half-term governor quitter for a president.

Do you have any clue how old he is? All you Paul supporters and that may not be a bad thing, need to get real. He isn't going to run for anything. He is already in his mid 70s.

As for Sarah, she is enjoying her new found fame and her new money too much to give it all up I am guessing. So we can all relax.
