Your math is a little more than weird. Total population minus supporters doesn't equal opponents or mostly opponents. It equals a mixed bag, a few of which are completely nutso opponents (probably a number pretty much equal to the hard left, of which there is, self-identified, just a little over 20%, that is, 20% of those in a poll asked to characterize their political beliefs, not necessarily 20% of the population at large). That leaves a big chunk of people who either know little to nothing about her or whose beliefs are shaped pretty much from what they happen to hear on the MSM. These folks are not deeply committed on the basis of such shallow recognition.

If you think that even 10% of the population think long and hard about political issues, you are mistaken. Most people know little or nothing that is true about our system, so we have every chance to influence them as well as the Communists do. One thing they DO know is that our economy is a disaster, and I believe that a majority will NOT vote to continue the Obama misery. Thus, a President Palin is a real possibility. She MUST win! Bob

Unfortunately, Palin opponents make up 60% of the US population... I daresay, most of those would NEVER vote for a Republican, anyway. But some are working on what they think is true, based on what they've read, and heard, since 2008. If Sarah decides to run, she'll have the chance to get out there on her own, not held back as she was by McCain's people. I believe many will change their minds when they get the chance to see and hear her, unfiltered by the MSM. The media elites can't stand her, and would happily do anything to make her look bad.
