So I take it you want Palin to step down so Romney can step in, eh?
This is the first weekend poll after the DNC Convention. Same results every Election year.

If McCain wanted to gamble (a good idea, imo - since he is lost otherwise), it was either Lieberman or Palin. He rolled the dice with Palin, but he needed to get some breaks and he is not getting it. She will have to stay on the ticket, and we have to hope that she is indeed very, very good on the trail and in the debates.
Then there is still a chance to turn it around.
Say what you want about Romney, but the man is squeaky clean.... having been vetted multiple times by the national media, and through scrutiny of the leftist nutjobs.
It's too early to tell if this pregnancy thing will hurt the McCain/Palin ticket, but I am not among those who think it will help. (despite claims by pundits that it will create sympathy)
All the good will and female support that would have come to the GOP because of Palin will, in my opinion, be negated by the daughter pregnancy thing.
Millions of moms across America are saying to themselves right now, "Gee, my daughter might think it OK to get pregnant at 17 if the daughter of the Vice President did.
I am an ardent conservative, and I LOVE Sarah Palin.... but I fear this could hurt.
Then again, I've been wrong about almost everything up until now, including Obama not picking Hillary, and McCain not picking Romney.
Roger that...
If McCain had chosen a guy with as thin a CV as Palin, we'd have thought he was nuts.
Romney was, and is my choice for VP.
O.K. start flamming...
