If you can't "Meet the Press," how can you meet Putin?

Why muzzle the self-proclaimed pit bull in lipstick? It's just odd.

The survey found that 50 percent of adults polled on Sept. 4, the last day of the Republican National Convention, said Palin lacks the right experience to be president if she succeeded to the office.

A person not selected by the people... but presented unto the people by a small committee.

How deaf, dumb, and/or STUPID does that sound at face value???

If there was NO PHOTOGRAPH or squishy FAMILY BIO attached to the question,
how does that even sound like an intelligent question to respond "YES" to???
I'd likely bet the likely reason would be:

... "I'll vote for ANYONE but the black guy."

Or maybe it's "I'll vote for anybody but the flaming liberal."

The new data also shows significant increases in the number who say McCain made the right choice and the number who say Palin is ready to be President. Generally, John McCain's choice of Palin earns slightly better reviews than Barack Obama's choice of Joe Biden.

Perhaps most stunning is the fact that Palin's favorable ratings are now a point higher than either man at the top of the Presidential tickets this year. As of Friday morning, Obama and McCain are each viewed favorably by 57% of voters. Biden is viewed favorably by 48%.

Fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans believe that most reporters are trying to hurt Palin's campaign, Not in America! We have a free press

Among unaffiliated voters, 52% said that McCain made the right choice for his running mate and 45% said the same about Obama. Lightning Bolt, go get'em. You have more work to do

She earns positive reviews from 65% of men and 52% of women. DUH

However, following the Wednesday night speech, voters are fairly evenly divided as to whether Palin or Obama has the better experience to be President. Forty-four percent (44%) of voters say Palin has the better experience while 48% say Obama has the edge. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 90% of George Bush votes....errrrrrrrr............. Sarah Palin voted 90% of the time with Barack Obama.......wait a second........ OK, you can't get 90% into this equation any way you try to spin it...... I'll wait for some BN help

I'm not sure if that was the ABC poll since you didn't post where the poll numbers came from, but if it was the ABC poll, here are some things you left out:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... refer=home

The survey found that 50 percent of adults polled on Sept. 4, the last day of the Republican National Convention, said Palin lacks the right experience to be president if she succeeded to the office.

The poll found that 66 percent of voters said Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, has the right experience to be an effective president. Twenty-one percent believed Biden, presidential candidate Barack Obama's running mate, lacks the right experience to be president.

The poll found that Obama benefited more from his selection of Biden than McCain did by picking Palin. While 25 percent said they were more likely to vote for McCain because he picked Palin, 19 percent said they were less likely to support his candidacy. A majority, 55 percent, said the choice won't affect their vote.

By contrast, 22 percent of voters said Biden's selection for the Democratic ticket made them more likely to vote for Obama, while just 10 percent said they were less likely to support the Illinois senator's presidential candidacy. Again, a majority -- 67 percent -- said the choice won't matter in their vote.

And then there's this:

A Rasmussen poll found that the Palin pick made 31% of undecided voters less likely to plump for Mr McCain and only 6% more likely.

That's not good considering John McCain already has the Republican base shored up. He enjoys more support among Republicans than Obama does among Democrats.

Or maybe it's "I'll vote for anybody but the flaming liberal."

I base my "black guy" assertion on my own "unofficial" questioning of a good number of persons in my area, a not so liberal region known as East County, where Rep. Duncan Hunter has represented us for over 24 years.
More than a few have told me, "Yes we need change, but I'm not voting for a n*****"
