She is a very polarizing figure.

I don't know which "poll" provides those numbers, but I question its weighting and sampling content.

True, 75% of Democrats will never for vote for any Republican, period.
Of the Independents I know, its probably 4:1 in favor of Ms. Palin.

So far, the 'negativity' has been a continuous negative tactic by the pro-Obama media which has gone after her family and religion while maintaining a 'hands off' the Obama family and downplaying the Rev. Wright matter. Most even-thinking folk have seen through the blatant media bias.

And of the Republicans I know, its about 2:1 against Palin. Many (Republican ) friends last election voted for McCain very reluctantly because Palin was on the ticket. As far as media attention, she and her family do things that trigger it. Misuse of state funds, pregnant daughter, husband's ties to rabidly anti-American secessionist group, her poor public speaking ability (the infamous Couric interview), she quits the Governorship because she can't take the heat.....the list goes on and on. Even McCain's campaign people talk about what a whack job she is. Most even-thinking folk have seen through the blatant Republican political bias and they're not buying the hype any more.

Yea, I'm sure going to get baited into a conversation with that kind of dialogue.

Well said Taj. Imagine if she were President and decided she no longer wanted to play President and hopped on her snowmachine and went home. I think it is all money she is after now.

Wow. Your insights are extraordinary. I feel like I really really know her. I hope she serves two terms as President, too.

You may be right about the money. As the only one on either ticket with a net worth less than $1Million and actually living on the paycheck, perhaps making a living and paying the bills is indeed important.

One thing was for sure, no matter whether Sen. Obama or Sen. McCain won the election, the new occupant in the White House was going to be a millionaire.

Funny, but when someone takes the job as President or Vice President and lives off the paycheck, they are indeed working the job. If the person's real income comes from blind trusts set up from one's portfolio and the person does not need the paycheck that comes with the job, isn't that "playing President?" And that holds true for the current, previous and several other Presidents.

Gee. The people I know, including myself, only voted for McPain because Palin was on the ticket.

You go girl!!

I had my trepidations about voting for McCain until he selected Palin. After that.. it was a no-brainer.

For the record, you don't know me personally , or my friends. After reading your comments about Palin, I suspect you do believe in Santa Claus.

I sure do - The way so many financial stockings are being filled, he's in the White House now, being helped by his elves heading the House and Senate.
