Stupid Character Assassination
Unnamed McCain staffers have been leaking vicious charges against Sarah Palin. I have not linked to their crap - as reported by the national media - because I am not a big fan of that sort of unsourced slander. But whoever is doing it better reconsider quickly. Rasmussen reports that Palin enjoys approval numbers that any politician would cheerfully kill for.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Republican voters say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin helped John McCain’s bid for the presidency, even as news reports surface that some McCain staffers think she was a liability.
Only 20% of GOP voters say Palin hurt the party’s ticket, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Six percent (6%) say she had no impact, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable. (Emphasis added.)
The would-be character assassin(s) might want to think about their future employment chances rather than trying to smear someone who may well play an enormous role in Republican politics for quite some time. This is precisely why the left and the media attempted to crush her. Let’s not allow it internally, shall we?
