So the LA Times reports on a CNN sponsoed poll something bad about a Republican.

Does make me wonder if the LA Times has quit cheating on its postage and lieing to its advertisers about circulation.

Read the whole thing. The guy posting this is Andrew Malcom who once served as Laura Bush's press sec. He's a snarky writer to be sure (love the Hillary/sexism reference at the top) but he also realizes this poll is BS. From the last paragraph:

In the last sentence we also learn that the margin of error for the smaller Republican poll sample is +/- 6.5 points. Which means, statistically speaking, that Palin could actually be just about as popular right now as she was in May, despite all the ensuing ethics/resignation/quitting kerfluffle.

Pfft! Pish posh.

LA Times you wish it were true. A CNN poll? Yeah, there are a lot of Palinites hanging out at CNN.

This poll didn't even bother to check if the respondents were actual voters. That's how desperate they are.

Rasmussen and PPP will have polls on Palin next week. PPP has already stated they don't believe these CNN numbers. They're a Dem-leaning pollster but a serious, professional outfit.

"statistically speaking,... Palin could actually be just about as popular right now as she was in May, despite all the ensuing ethics/resignation/quitting kerfluffle."

Considering the constant battering that Sarah's had to withstand, this is astonishing.

And, I'm sure, very distressing to the slugs in the media, who have accused her of everything except molesting the Mr. Softee man.

Even the article gets it more accurately than you do, chief.

She did well to go because she knew jolly well to stay would have cost the state of Alaska millions until the loophole could be fixed in the ethics law. This wasn’t just a “partisan” problem drawing abuse (there were no hits on the Republican Lt. Governor once he took her former seat); it was personal hatred at her.

15 minutes? Methinks not.

She writes a Facebook entry on obamacare “death panels” and the White house and MSM jumps.

This piece is just bizarre. I gather it’s supposed to be humor. Or maybe just the effects of some of that good California Medical Marijuana we keep hearing so much about?

Sarah Palin, the wife of a popular Arctic snowmachine racer who also once served as Alaska's first female governor, seems to find her own popularity plummeting.

Sarah is introduced in the article as a wife of a popular Arctic snowmachine racer?

She went from 46% favorable down to 39% a few days after she experienced premature resignation and left office 17 months early to save Alaska from more partisan attacks on her.

Her resignation is suggestively described using words that suggests a comparison to a sexual inadequacy problem.

And, who knows, maybe plan some future political activity in other states.

Is that even correct grammar

Is this article for real?

This LA Times article reads like some vindictive 9 year-old wrote it.

Unbelievable.

Really.

It's more like Palin popularity places pustules on MSM polls.

Palin, who plucked Sen. John McCain from political obscurity in Arizona as her GOP presidential ticket running mate last summer

Bwahahaha!
