Default Palin's star fading

The more people get to know Palin the less they like her.

Quote:
Earlier this month, an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll showed more people viewing Palin favorably than unfavorably, 47 percent to 28 percent. But an ABC News-Washington Post poll released Wednesday showed that in a two-week period, the number seeing Palin positively dropped 6 percentage points while 10 points more see her unfavorably. On Monday, a CNN-Opinion Research Corp. poll said her favorable rating dropped 4 points and her unfavorable rating rose 8 points over two weeks.

Palin's star was ill-fated to begin with.

Did any of you guys catch her interview with Katie Couric? Just down right pathetic still dancing around the questions..you could even see the frustration in Katie's face with her answers.

The star is not falling but certainly after the HUGE media bias and bashing she has suffered for weeks now some poll numbers are gonna weaken. It's complete public brain washing.

We have Mr. Experience Joe Bidon out there not knowing who was President during the depression or if they had tv's back then and the media could care less.

Imagine if Palin said that?

Again, you don't know what the hell your talking about, Biden made the mistake of stating that Roosevelt went on tv during the great depression. So what are you talking about.

Palin only get's treated harshly by the media because she hides from them, there is practically no access to the woman that is suppose to be number 2 in charge of the free world. Maybe if she performed more interviews like the rest of the candidates then the media would back off..

Palin might have been OK if she had stay a governor or become a senator for about 10 more years before being tapped for the VP slot. By then, her kids would be mostly raised except for Trig who will forever be a child, she would actually have some serious experience under her belt and she hopefully would have started reading and following world events (something she clearly was not doing while mayor or governor in the past ).

By tapping Palin too early in her political career, McCain has extinguished her budding flame. I honestly believe she will not be re-elected as the governor in Alaska and am about 95% sure she isn't headed for DC in November. It would take a miracle for the GOP to win this election after all the lying by McCain and gaffes by Palin.

Excellent point, please remove the word Palin, and insert another name and then please remove VP and insert the word president

it cuts both ways this argument

Obama has not been ducking interviews - Plain has.
Obama debated Hillary in the primary - not an easy debate in anyone's eyes - and is insisting on debating McCain. Palin is scared to death of debating Biden.
Obama went on tour, met with a number of leaders and let the press follow him. Palin met with leaders in NY and the press got 40 seconds.

Palin does not equal Obama - not even close. Palin has failed to be available and what little bit we do know about has proven that she has almost no knowledge of the issues and no grasp of world affairs. Obama has been available and what he has said shows he does know what he is talking about.
