What does Palin need to do to lower her unfavoribles ?

Posted on 02/11/2010 4:11:59 PM PST by se_ohio_young_conservative

Do a majority of Americans honestly believe she is stupid ? I mean, seriously ?

How can her unfavoribles be so high ? What did she do wrong ? What is she not doing right ?

What does she need to do ? Take a nationally televised IQ test ?

I don't understand why so many regular people think the way they do about her. What happened ?

I saw a poll posted that showed that only 22 percent thought Ronald Reagan was qualified to be President and guess what..he WON..these idiotic polls mean nothing to me

The press is doing to Her what they did To George Bush For 8 years ,they are Blasting her at every oppurtunity and eventually it becomes Fact to the Morons in our society.
You can tell this when anyone is asked about Palin they Mimic the standard line ,she is not qualified,everyone just mouths the words like the Lemmings they are.

What she said was, “...and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.”

Palin is a force that has been on a continuous upswing since August of 2008. I can’t imagine her momentum slowing at this point.

The question should be, what are liberals going to do? What can they do?

The more they attack her, the more popular she becomes.

Her voice is just fine, you need a hearing coach.

I echo everything you’ve written. You’ve given her some sage advice, let’s hope she takes it.

I love it, Gitmo.
I still don’t understand why Sarah is expected to win the imaginary contest for most updated speaker on world affairs, history, and everything else.
Don’t people realize that before the First Failure goes before his carefully loaded teleprompter, he is given pronunciations of countries, leaders, and tons of other facts that he might need for whatever group or topic he is addressing?
I’m sure Sar Bear would pick it all up very quickly when she is supposed to be informed. Otherwise, what about Plugs One Heartbeat Away comment that Patreus is “dead, flat wrong on Iraq”? Hmmmm.

It’s not what’s in the head, it’s the fire in the heart.
We have had enough “smart”, spineless leaders.

They deceived America into thinking Oboma was the awaited Messiah, and then compared Sara to the first black son of God.
But don't let your heart be troubled. Now that America has met the real Oboma (who turned out to be more like the first black son of Satan) Sara Palin looks like the saint.
Remember, the left wing media is 80% socialist/communist. Don't believe everything they tell you. They may... you know.... have their own agenda.

Frankly I’m not into a trivia test for my political leaders. Trivia, by definition, is interesting but unimportant information.

Rather, I want my political leaders to think on a grand scale, to analyze and form useful conclusions.

Also, you say she is deficient in history, geo-politics, international relations, economics etc. Please explain. Be specific if you can.

US presidents have never been masters of even one of the things you mentioned. That is why they have advisors and cabinets.

One thing that Palin does have in abundance is the ability to express herself in a way that gets her listeners fired up and ready to crusade for her. I think people believe she is talking to them about things they value—not talking at them.

Perhaps you envy her that ability as you put high value on trivia.

Stop hanging out with GOPers.

Gravitas, gravitas, gravitas.

Lose the “mom at a football game” energy. This is a seminal moment in our history—I don’t get that she really understands the gravity of the situation—but this reflects Americans at large, I guess. A touch of solemnity would help. I mean, it’s only freedom, right?

Fewer platitudes and cliches, more thought.

Voice coaching. She needs to lower her voice a bit. Stop with the nasally inflections. (Study Meg Whitman)

Lose “You betcha!” forever.

I also need her to forget she’s beautiful and go to work in these interviews. Stop talking AT the interviewer, and start talking TO the interviewer. She too often looks like she’s nervous at a job interview.

With a side of “un-endorsing” Perry. ‘Twould be nice. ;)

"What she shouldn't do is try to appeal to everyone or she'll end up like any RINO "

Well, she doesn't have to appeal to "everyone", but in this country, she's probably going to have to appeal to the majority (or plurality) of voters to get elected, barring some crazy electoral college phenomenon. It's tough to do that when your negatives are approach 70%.

Winston Churchill may of had higher unfavorable ratings a couple of years before he became Prime Minister.

If it meant to be then it will happen, if not it wasn’t meant to be.

Oh, and stop taking “petty” shots at her haters. It would be funny in person, but it looks petty on camera. It also gives them influence they don’t deserve.

you and I seem to be on the same page, or view the situation in a similar way.

EEE and his posse are the first to call out anyone at the slightest variance from his orthodoxy....hence, the name - EEE. He’s been at it for years - don’t worry about it.

Oh, I get it, you think only elites can rule. Because Palin speaks like an ordinary Alaskan you must condescend.

Sorry to be the one to point this out to you, but millions of genuinely conservative Americans think Palin is just what this country needs—not more elitism. I guess they’re all wrong and you, the trivial (I mean trivia) expert is right.

Sheesh.

Those of us who love the content look past it. She preaches just fine for the choir but it’s a problem for her with the general voting population.
