I post on a large fitness site that has over 6 million registered users. At any given time there is 300-400k people viewing the site. There is a political forum and on a recent poll, I can't remember the exact figure, but maybe 15-20% of the people who said they would vote for Palin. FR is not America (sadly). Most Americans are middle of the road/leaning slightly right.
Among the Conservatives I know (most of my family and friends) and the Republicans I know (many) she is interesting but not at all POTUS material.
Among the dems I know (also many) she is poison. If any of them were to want not to vote for obama a second time they would never see Palin as an option. They would hold their nose and vote for the boy-king again.
A cackle of freepers will rise to condemn me personally for pointing this out but they are children so I couldn't care less.
