Majority of Republicans don't think Palin's qualified for prez
(July 14)
(CNN) — A majority of Americans think Sarah Palin is stepping down as Alaska's governor for political reasons, according to a new national poll, with a majority of Republicans now saying that they do not believe that Palin would be an effective president.
Only 33 percent of Republicans questioned in a CBS News survey released Monday night say that Palin would have the ability to serve effectively as president. Last fall, 71 percent of registered Republicans felt that way.

After she bizarrely quit her job as governor of Alaska, two-thirds of registered Republicans said they'd still vote for her for president. " --Margaret Wente, The Globe and Mail
