NBC/WSJ poll: Doubts about Palin

Linda Grant, Harding, PA — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:05:15 GMT

The MSM does nothing but lie about Palin and trash her for 3 weeks straight, then they take a poll and are some how surprised to find that people have negative feelings about her. Face it, the MSM is never going to let a woman be in control of the country. We saw the media destroy Hillary. Now we're seeing the same with Palin.

Good to see sexism is alive in well in the United States. That gaffe machine Bisen is qualified to be President? A good debate to look forward to wouldn't be the one between Palin and Biden, but the one between Obama and Biden. They seem to disagree on everything lately.

Questioning judgement????? — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:08:18 GMT

It is becoming more clear with each day that Palin's ambitions far exceed her talents - she is not the real news in this story however. John McCain's judgement is the real issue and his first decision as would be president shows a glaring lack of prudence and concern for "Country First".
Sarah Palin is an unfortunate selection for all Americans.

Enough of Palin-lying and McLying. Sure, Obama did lie a bit, but Palin is rally a DNA copy of Bush.

Doubts About Palin?

Should that suprise any reasonable person?

Finally, it looks like the healing power of reason is taking over from what was developing into a terminal illness -- America's macabre and totally unwarranted fascination with Sarah Palin and all of the ignorance she brings with her. Many Americans have been suffering from an epidemic outbreak of "Palinitus". A deadly affliction of the brain, if left unchecked.

A vote for Obama/Biden is a vote for every American's future. A vote for Palin/McCain is a vote for 4 more years of handouts and tax breaks to the modern day robber barrons who helped get us in this mess.

Capt. Harmon — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:14:47 GMT

There is no question that Palin is unqualified and the refusal of the campaign to let her talk to the press emphasizes that point every day. Her choice for the place on the ticket was not "country first" but "John McCain first and the country be damned".

Lisa T, Columbia MO — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:15:38 GMT

If the McCain campaign want more people to take Palin seriously, they need to let her be questioned by the press, just like any other candidate. When I read yesterday about the press not being allowed to ask her questions, my first thought was "How stupid is this woman that they can't let the press ask her questions?" If she's really smart & prepared, then why wouldn't McCain's campaign want to flaunt that fact, not hide it?

Maybe they're afraid she'll refer to the "Palin-McCain" ticket again. ;-)

JohnWinNC — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:16:19 GMT

Not only is Biden more qualified (i.e., experience in government) than Palin, but also he is vastly more knowledgable in both domestic and foreign affairs. As for McCain, his "Judgement" is seriously in question:

1) His foreign policy views are dangerous.
2) His economic understanding is inadequate.
3) His VP choice is marginal, at best.

Given Obama's demonstrated superior judgement on these same issues, the choice could not be more clear. Obama is the best choice to be President and Commander in Chief!

No real surprises here. Palin is a newcomer who has very thin credentials and Biden is -- despite being a gaffe-machine -- a seasoned veteran of the Senate, particularly in the arena of foreign affairs.

JCar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:19:21 GMT

94% of the people I know think Palin is unqualified to be President, Vice President or even Governor. Why is she in seclusion? It's like applying for a job and never having to take an interview for it. Why is McCain trying to derail and delay her Troopergate investigation? Why did she get a field trip to the UN instead of talking to the people? Why are there suddenly conditions for the VP debate? She obviously is hiding something and it sure smells fishy. She is nothing more than an election spoiler..McCain doesn't care about the country he only cares about the election!
When McCain and her speak I feel scared and when Obama and Biden speak I'm calmed.. My gut tells me to vote for Obama, my heart tells me to vote for Obama and my head tells me to vote for Obama.
Obama/Biden is our only way out of this mess!

Until the Bubble Girl is off the ballot it doesn't matter...and I'd bet against them dumping her at this point. She's there and there are enough simple minds and those whose self-interests the McCain/Palin ticket will help (the very wealthy and oil industry) that unless Obama supporters really get the vote out these two people could win. Dan Quayle was VP for four years, remember. RNC tactics work! I'd like to see a poll asking if McCain learned anything from his involvement with Chas. Keating, or does anyone really believe he's ever supported regulation.

Even if 40 percent of them think she is qualified, the American people are way too stupid. A small town hockey mom and former mayor and sitting governor of Alaska who traveled outside of the US last year for the first time and is meeting with world leaders this week to bulk up on her foreign policy experience by simply shaking hands, appearing for photo ops and chatting with them is as qualified to be president as everyone else who has been met with world leaders. Chelsea Clinton is far more qualified to be predent than palin, and she is smarter than Palin.

This should come as no surprise given her background as the mayor of a town of 6000 people and governor of a state with only 600,000 population (1/2 that of tiny Hawaii). She simply hasn't paid her dues like other women politicians who do have background experience and credentials. McCain's campaign know this too, thats why they are trying to hide her in a "cocoon of silence" from probing questioning from the media.
