Agreed. We used to call it substance over form. Palin could and should have been more prepared, but, the MSM (Couric & Gibson) did a good job of setting her up and positioning her in those interviews.

She should have had a better catch phrase. Change, good lord, we are all digging in couch cushions for it now.

I'm sorry, I just can't imagine any way in hell palin would win, much less turn this country around. You want a decent candidate? Adam Kokesh. Good luck getting him onboard your current "conservative" platform.

Default Palin is the MAN.....

Don't know about this dippy poll, probably polled 95 Libtards to 5 Repugs.

I get so irked when someone opens their mouth and shouts "she is unelectable". Then they never finish up saying WHY. It's the Moveon, Kos, and Democrat Underground talking points. They got it down, they hate her, say they hope she runs, then ....... crickets chirping.

She was super in her prepared speeches, like at the convention and on the road. She stumbled when she had to speak unprepared. There was no teleprompter for her there? Gee, like someone else we know????? At least she didn't say we had 57 states, but that was never held against him. The "Ahh kin see Russia from ma house" thing was said on SNL by that impostor, never by her. But the dweebe libs have run with it too.

There is NO other complete conservative candidate anywhere. She is the most PRO-GUN person in America.

The next big event is her appearance on Opera World in November. That will be a big key. Will Opera whizz on her, or treat her decent? Opera cannot risk alienating her women audience, but she can't offend her lib buddies either. At any rate, it should be the top rated show she has ever had.

I am confident in one thing. By early 2012, Palin will be totally, totally, prepared to make mince meat of Katie baby and Chucky Gibson. Odds are they won't want to touch her.

Monday morning quarterbacking here .... I would not go on those networks, especially since they were in the tank for DOHbama. No telling how the interview would be edited.

I would not call her unelectable. I would call her, as of today, not ready for prime time. She has time to finish painting the picture.

In the end, and in my mind, she is 100x more qualified than DOHbama.

What is the advantage of electing of electing career politicians? Who decides the definition of qualified? You don't have to be real smart to see most of what is wrong with our governmental management of a great country. Find me a US born high school grad that can tackle just these problems in 8 years and we would have the best president ever:

Too high taxes
Too little manufacturing
Too many government paid employees
Too many government paid non working
Too little border security enforcement
Too much court interference with the will of the voter
Too little American pride in our politicians

Make it law that no American owned and operated manufacturer pays tax for the first 25 years of business and watch plants re-open all over our country. Our wages didn't chase them away, our taxes did.

You nailed it,for me the above and I want honesty,values,love of country, it's citizens, workers of all class, color, this must be first, while that does not mean hating other countries it simply means our interest first.Right now we have people in government who are anti-Christian,anti-American, anti-capitalism. I've long stated to my Representatives drop taxes on companies if they remain in the USA it will change our economy in months,I won't hold my breath. Mean while we simply continue on building the economy of China and its military strength.

I'm just throwing this out and not trying to be difficult, but I take any poll with a grain of salt. For example, if you stand outside a Greenwich Village gay bar in New York City and ask the people leaving what they think of George Bush you're going to pretty much get a 99.9% "I hate his guts" rating. Pollsters virtually never specify when, where, how, and to whom they issued their questions. Polls are skewed by the pollster to reflect whatever their agenda is. Just some ....
