A precipitous drop in Sarah Palin’s approval may be helping to fuel Obama’s gains. Immediately after the convention 41% of Colorado voters said that her selection made them more likely to vote for John McCain, compared to 38% who said it made them less likely to do so. Since then there’s been a 12 point drop in her net favorability. Now just 38% say that she makes them more likely to vote for the Republican, with 47% saying they’re less likely to do so.
“Barack Obama has greatly increased his lead with independents since we last polled Colorado,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “It seems like the more voters have learned about Sarah Palin the less they’ve liked her, and that’s allowed Obama to open up the largest lead he’s shown in a PPP poll of Colorado.”
More than half (56%) of polled Colorado voters now say they are LESS likely to vote for McCain because of Palin.
Damn elitists.
More on this..... CNN apparently told McCain-Palin that if they weren't allowed to have an actual reporter there, they wouldn't broadcast it at all:
It infuriates me that people think she's being unfairly treated and then shit like this goes on.
It's hard to make a gaffe when the few media appearances you do make consist of hedging questions by robotically reciting Republican talking points that have little to do with what was specifically asked.
This whole thing is going to blow up for McCain, and I can't wait.
on a serious note:
all you Palin fans. are you at all bothered by the fact that she has never held a press conference since she was selected as the VP? do you want to know more about her? are you concerned by the fact that we know so little about what she thinks about various issues when she could become president of the country in 6 weeks?
i really mean this. are you okay with having her be seen, and scripted, but never heard?
I think this is a legitimate concern. I do not think it can be ignored. But I am not voting on the bottom of the ticket.
Politically it was a good move for what his advisors feel they needed. It may not be the move for the country, but he is running an election. Plenty of others have made political decisions for the vp positions.
Would you honestly feel comfortable with Sarah Palin as President of the United States?
Please.
Don't give me any of this "she has more executive experience" garbage. It simply isn't an answer to the question.
All McCain-Palin supporters.
Yes or no.

Your party winning trumps any concerns you may have with the ticket. There is no room for dissent when you're trying to win the White House. Dissent makes you look weak.
The "Road to Nowhere"
Looks like even though she said "Thanks but no thanks" to the Bridge (after she fought for it, of course), she decided to go ahead and continue building the $26million road that leads to the bridge site!!! That's right---$26million of YOUR TAXES paid for a 3-mile road that no one uses, not even the people on the island(!!!) because it doesn't go ANYWHERE!

Sarah Palin said yes, thanks, to a road to nowhere in Alaska - Los Angeles Times
The problem isn't that it's there---the whole thing with pork barrel projects is that they seem useless (even though this one really is!). The REAL problem is that she had the opportunity to cancel it, but didn't! What judgement!
Man, $26million would've looked great in schools, real roads, back in my pocket.......
The Bridge was 400 million
that is what she said "No thanks to."
Were you here when Dennis Kucinich won the FYM primary?
Anyway, pose this question again after the VP debate. But, I like what I've heard so far and I agree with her positions on issues more than any of the other 3 candidates on the tickets.
She has positions?
then she kept the money anyway.
Good thing too. Imagine how boring and uninspiring the view would be if her porch in Juneau faced to the east?From her position on the front porch she can see Moscow.
