A growing number of voters have concluded that Senator John McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, is not qualified to be vice president, weighing down the Republican ticket in the last days of the campaign, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
All told, 59 percent of voters surveyed said Ms. Palin was not prepared for the job, up nine percentage points since the beginning of the month. Nearly a third of voters polled said the vice-presidential selection would be a major factor influencing their vote for president, and those voters broadly favor Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee.
And in a possible indication that the choice of Ms. Palin has hurt Mr. McCain’s image, voters said they had much more confidence in Mr. Obama to pick qualified people for his administration than they did in Mr. McCain....
Over all, views of Ms. Palin were apparently shaped more by ideology and party than by gender. Ms. Palin was viewed as unprepared for the job by about 6 in 10 men and women alike. But 8 in 10 Democrats viewed her as unprepared, as well as more than 6 in 10 independents and 3 in 10 Republicans.

She doesn't even wear sensible shoes!
Sarah Palin just isn't right for America.
(Do I really need a < /sarc> on this?)
I guess he didn’t get the message this forum supports McCain/Palin... his posts pretty much indicate he doesn’t like Palin at all...
“growing doubts”? Maybe by the editorial page of the Times and Pinch. All I see are larger crowds turning out for Palin than any other candidate.
The ever shrinking stock price of the Times reveals a growing doubt of the Times credibility by former readers, advertisers and investors. If the Times doesn’t fire Pinch and the editorial board by the end of the year I wouldn’t be surprised to see them fall into bankrupcy.
And really, what self respecting conservative would continue a conversation with a caller after hearing NYT/CBS? click....
Shy Tory Factor, comin’ on.
I actually feel sorry for you, Steve.
You have never known the joy of “loving” a strong woman, who gives you her heart, soul, and body.
My husband knows the joy you have missed, and he feels so sorry for you.

Look at my post #22 Katherine Jean Lopez came up with the bottom line and this headline is a big joke, simply designed to affect the idiots out there.
Yes and they’ll keep trying but I have to admit events are on our side right now and they lost the bid to de-motivate us. Hope there is no financial surprises or anything before Wed the 5th. With the Mason/Dixon PA poll out today we know we have a good chance overall, not like it felt like even last week.
Where’s the BARF ALERT?
Sample way too heavy with Dems. Next bogus NYT hit piece.
she didn’t rape as many women as governor Clinton but I count that as a positive.
