Maybe instead of cherry picking single point polling data and bashing Palin, who is not in office nor running for office, you might consider how the country is looking at incumbents in Congress and the White House and where those poll numbers are and are trending...

Congressional Job Approval

President Obama Job Approval

POLITICO - Biden popularity fades

2010 is not that far off and the Congress is up for grabs. Care to take a guess what the landscape will look like a year from now?

I?m watching you from a scenic
View taking in your every move
Who you tried so hard to be full of
Wishes and dreams
That did not come true for you
I can read you like a book
Sad stories everywhere I look
Faded pictures remind you when
What could have been
Did not come true for you

[chorus]
I?ll be the one who makes you laugh
Make up for the memories
That made you sad
Me and you together forever
We could be someday
You will find me in all your
Wishes and dreams

Is it so hard to believe what
Your eyes cannot see
Your dream come true
A love to fall into
I?m waiting to show you

:laugh:

A Theocrat, a Dogmatic Lightweight, or a Northeastern Liberal Republican turned Faux Conservative.

Brilliant prospects for the GOP.

Palin was a member of the Wasilla, Alaska, city council from 1992 to 1996
Of which any mouth-breathing, half-sentient, former meth addict could accomplish. So, yeah, win! Am I right?
....and the city's mayor from 1996 to 2002.
Upon leaving office, she'd racked up nearly $20 million in long-term debt, or nearly $3k in debt per resident. Fiscal conservatism FTW!
After an unsuccessful campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Alaska in 2002
FAIL!
she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 until her resignation in 2004.
She resigned. A natural-born quitter! But oh! Quitting is so admirable, right PJabber?
She was elected Governor of Alaska in November 2006. Palin became the first female governor of Alaska and the youngest person ever elected governor of that state.
That's strikingly similar to: "First black President of the United States." And so the F what?
Those are the facts, but what impresses me is that in each job she tried to do the right thing and without some overreaching self-serving ulterior motive. How unlike the Obama, who hardly ever went to work and voted "present" so many times when it came to making a stand and showing his true character.
Lame talking point already debunked. Next!
BTW, do you really still believe there was any merit to any of the ethics accusations that were brought in as political harassment the midst of the election? Haven't they all been dismissed as frivolous?
Yes, I believe Palin abused her power at every turn as did her first dude, Todd. Who used her office to pursue family vengeance on those who would oppose them.
The harassments were effective in costing the State of Alaska and the Palins some time and money, though. Isn't to-the-death politics grand? It must make you proud!
Again, PJabber, as you polish the turd, the rest of us wonder why you're bothering. Except that your nose is so far up Palin's ass, you cannot possibly see straight. But I understand. You live in your own conservative version of reality, where Palin is a folk hero and can do no wrong. We understand. We know your simple mind cannot bear to hold Palin to the same standards as you hold Obama. You're a partisan hack. You can't help yourself.

Did you actually read the ethics complaints? out of 18 (most of which were silly) only 1 had some meat to it and that was the troopergate.

Its still strikes me that this thread is 1964 Barry Goldwater all over again. Ole Barry did not lack a plethora of conservative supporters, but it still did not stop Barry Goldwater from losing by one of the biggest landslides in US history.

We can still note that the end of the GOP was then over hyped, and Nixon won in 1968. But in the 1968 win, Nixon was largely the beneficiary of the fragmentation of the democratic party over the Vietnam war.

Given the fact that if anything, the democrats will be more united over GOP obstructionism, with the American people likewise disgusted at the GOP, its hard to see the GOP resurrecting itself when they stand for the idiotic policies of GWB and Palin.

And maybe at this point its time to ask, who were more delusion, the Paulbots of 2008 or the PJABBER ilk in late 2009? We can fault neither group for their cohesiveness, but at the end of the day, both vastly over rate their degree of electoral support.

Is Palin qualified to be president? NO - 71%

Using your own poll, and recalling that Palin was by far the most vilified candidate in the 2008 election cycle and remains the prime target of Democrat attack politics -

With favorability ratings double or triple that of incumbent politicians and unmatched in her rating as not being a "business as usual" politician it remains to be seen if Palin will go for another political office or capitalize on the opinion influence she might have. If the political winds blow strongly in the direction of anti-incumbency she is going to remain highly influential running for office or not.

BTW, based on the lightest resume of any candidate at the time, no one though BO was presidential material and he got in on HOPE for CHANGE. I can see Palin playing that same game, don't you? :laugh:

Oh yay! More PBlabber Palin spin and fluff. You could open a laundromat with your skills!

7 out of 10 Americans don't think she's qualified to be President. 'Nuff said.

BTW, I'd bet that most people would answer in the affirmative if you switched "Palin" with "your mom." So I guess that makes Palin qualified to be a ... MILF?
