A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech viewed live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% hold an unfavorable view of the self-described hockey mom.
The figures include 40% with a Very Favorable opinion of Palin and 18% with a Very Unfavorable view (full demographic crosstabs are available for Premium Members). Before her acceptance speech, Palin was viewed favorably by 52%. A week ago, 67% had never heard of her.
The new data also shows significant increases in the number who say McCain made the right choice and the number who say Palin is ready to be President. Generally, John McCain’s choice of Palin earns slightly better reviews than Barack Obama’s choice of Joe Biden.
Perhaps most stunning is the fact that Palin’s favorable ratings are now a point higher than either man at the top of the Presidential tickets this year. As of Friday morning, Obama and McCain are each viewed favorably by 57% of voters. Biden is viewed favorably by 48%.
JFK was introduced by the speaker, came to the podium, and said with wry amusement, "I'm John Kennedy. You all know me. I'm the guy that came to Paris with Jackie."
;)
LOL! That it is weird, isn't it. I checked wiki's source for that info and found this: "With Nancy Wilson's addition following completion of College in 1974, the band was re-christened Heart and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia after manager Mike Fisher [actually 'Flicker', not Fisher] found out he was to be drafted by the United States Army."

Also, someone, around the time of your reply, made a correction/clarification to the wiki article (I highlighted new addition in bold type). It now reads:
"By the mid-1970s the male band members were eligible to be drafted to Vietnam (The United States Left Vietnam in 1973 - Conscription ended in December 1972), so the band relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3]

Even my husband is excited about Palin and he hasn’t been very excited about politics since Jefferson Davis.
“Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.”
LOL!!! That's great! Now you have to put it to music and post it on YouTube.
BWAHHAAA....coffee all over my keyboard!
A person just sent me an insulting private message accusing me of reducing Sarah to a sex object by saying what I said.
Here is the reality. She is hot. There is no way around it. But most of what makes her beautiful is her intellect, cool and confidence. I do not look at her in a narrow shallow way. I see her as so much more. She was born to be a leader. I look to her as a leader.
I am protective of Sarah too.
Hot is NOT a bad thing.
By the mid ‘70s, the Vietnam War was over!
Just wait until his debate with Palin. Then we’ll see where his numbers go.
"By the mid-1970s the male band members were eligible to be drafted to Vietnam, so the band relocated to Vancouver, Canada.[No one was "drafted to Viet Nam". In fact not everyone drafted was drafted into the Army. And not everyone who was drafted went to Viet Nam. And not everyone who was drafted then went to Viet Nam saw combat.
Wiki just changed it again! I give up.
That 37% consists of people who see their own lives and beliefs being condemned by Sarah’s example.
Look up John 3:20.
Write to wiki and help them straighten this out. Apparently some others are doing it right now. It's changed several times in the past hour or so.
Thanks.
They have been around before Jesus and after Jesus.
Agreed, HOT is not a bad thing at all. Especially for a 44 yr. old CLASSY, SMART, HOT MAMA. She’s got the total package. ;) Just like me, LOL
