When it comes to whether she's fit to be President though, 55% of voters in the country say no with just 37% in the affirmative.

She needs to devote her time now to changing that number. I think she can do it - this is a woman with enormous personal magnetism. Once people see her and hear her directly instead of through the MSM's filter, I suspect a lot of people are going to find Palin a lot more likable and admirable than her crazed detractors.

"She needs to devote her time now to changing that number. I think she can do it - this is a woman with enormous personal magnetism. Once people see her and hear her directly instead of through the MSM's filter,"

I think she can do it as well. The question becomes, will she do it. I've seen several pundits give some very quality advice to her the last several days. Unfortunately, some of this advice would result in Palin changing or altering some things that her most fervent supporters love.

You'll frequently see comments like, "don't change a thing Sarah". Unfortunately, if she doesn't improve some aspects of her viability, she'll never begin to reduce her negative numbers. Contrary to what the Palinphiles think, she does need some professional coaching, she does need to improve her vocabulary and she needs to stop speaking in bumper sticker - essentially she needs to become a little more conventional. That's not going to be well received by her base.
