Palin’s a walk-in if she runs, in politics winning is what counts. T. Kennedy and algorejr. were both half-wits, but most of that was kept from the public so long as they counted on to hold a seat etc. Imagine if Palin were a democrat,,the MSM etc. would be bombarding us promoting her qualifications or sweeping the subject aside, and never mind cause she’ll have ‘’handlers’’, aids etc.so she’s OK.
I think this is something we assume because WE like her. I've yet to see a single poll that indicates anything like this.
Of course polls in themselves don't tell us much, but polls over time do indicate direction. I've never seen any poll that shows this, which is the main reason I'm thinking we need to get going on a vigorous debate with more choices. (And I still don't think she'll run. She may have found her spot right where she is now.)

You've perfectly articulated why I think she has such an uphill struggle. Gore and Kennedy had the support of the very people who loathe Palin--that's why we respect her BUT it's also the reality we've been complaining about for decades. And now some of us seem to think that just doesn't matter cuz we feel so passionately about her.
People have to step back, look at the facts, and see what's really up. Because if we don't, we end up with " "conservatives" splitting the primaries, Rockefeller Republicans and McCain nominations.
