"Almost a year after capturing the attention of the political world as John McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin remains a broadly popular figure within the Republican Party, despite receiving mixed reviews from the public as a whole."

Of course she is. The ONLY reason McCain had even a REMOTE chance was because of her.

Yes. Americans should be scared by the idea of a President Sarah Palin.

Makes you wonder if she is popular because of her looks, or her as a person/candidate. Most Republicans I know blame her and Bush for the loss in 2008.. That is not something that makes someone more popular..

Why?

Why should we be scared of President Palin but not President Obama?

Why do they blame Palin and not McCain? Do they not remember the HUGE boost Sarah Palin gave McCain? Was McCain some miracle candidate that would have won until Palin showed up?

This was on Wikipedia (it was a rasmussen report)

Following the presidential election, 69% of Republicans felt Palin had helped John McCain's bid, while 20% felt Palin hurt. In the same poll, 71% of Republicans stated Palin had been the right choice.


It is VERY easy to make superficial jokes and ignore the facts, isn't it?

Because she doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground. Precisely why the GOP did everything they could to keep her out away from questions.

GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?

PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.


The line "I can see Russia from my house" was uttered by Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live (SNL). It's such a good line because it's close to Palin's actual words and thoughts. She could well have uttered those very words.

Why look into the truth though when you can just spew nonsense.

I hope they continue to support her, there isn't a chance she could ever be elected POTUS
