I have no way of knowing whether or not Palin is rejected by 71% of those taking the poll. I doubt that someone can be elected if 71% believe that she unqualified to be POTUS. I would have to see what other pollsters find. The election is not today, and maybe public opinion will change. I do not know how many of you remember Dan Quayle, but the MSM convinced the American voters that he was an idiot. The MSM is doing everything possible to convince the electorate that Palin is another Dan Quayle. The MSM just might have been successful. IF, and that is a big IF, they convince 50% of the voters that she is another Quayle, there is no way she will win an election.

Dan Quayle laid down and accepted his fate. Sarah Palin will not. She is instead, using the media exposure to her advantage. Take the “hand-writing” as an example. It was no secret that she wrote on her hands. She mentioned it in her book. She is not ashamed of it. She has no pretensions of elitism. She is using it to show that she is not showing you an image of her, carefully prepared for mass consumption, but rather the way she really is.
The media didn’t argue much about what she said, just about who she was, a silly woman who writes on her hand. They took the bait. The key points she was trying to convey have now been printed in every paper. They populate every left wing blog. The President’s press secretary reacted lamely to her. Attention will now be focused on her more than ever.
This is not a person who wears her University degree on her sleeve. She actually uses what she learned in those media classes to her advantage.
