Poll says Palin is More Popular than Obama and McCain

folks, this is all because she is new and fresh ... and attractive and sassy.

in a month .. hell, a week ... she'll be lumped in with everoyne else ... too many folks in this country have such A.D.D., she'll be forgotten soon enough.

her warts will show ... patience poeple ... patience.

I'm wrong? So the officials we elect and are shown on the news across the world making decisions for us don't represent us to a lot of people who otherwise do not come into contact with americans. You expect travelers to offset that?

I did. I'm saying the so-called "laughingstock" will be proven to be a stereotype. But judging by your reply where it comes across like your answer is the only way I'd guess you wouldn't change that.

Example conversation.
European, "Bush bad, Americans arrogant"
Me, explaining the case
European, Oh you aren't the typical American,
Me, what's the typical American?

Maybe when she's finally allowed to talk to the press, people will like her less.

I think it's just the "fresh new face", in all honesty, for the reason that her numbers are so high. When the convention hype settles down, people will see her for who she is.

I, personally, don't have anything against her. I just think it's incredibly hypocritical for McCain to attack Obama for his inexperience than turn around and pick her. You can't justify that.

My only problem with her is how she mocked and made fun of a working-class American occupation. When she claimed that, unlike Obama as a community organizer, she actually had responsibilities is one of the most offensive things I have ever heard at a convention. First off, while he was a community organizer she was a sports news broadcaster. When she was mayor, he was a state senator. So she simply seems like an idiot for comparing the two.

As I said before, people who do not have very much contact with americans are going to develop their opinion from the officials we have elected. I do not think random travelers are going to be able to change the minds of the billions of people who see the actions of the Bush administration and assume that those actions are supported by us. You do. Perhaps we should let more iranians, pakistanis, iraqis, and afghans into our country to off set the stereotype we have developed because of our media.

popular or not ... is she ready to lead?

America says no ....

In the latest ABC News poll, fewer than half, 42 percent, think Palin has the kind of experience it takes to serve effectively as president.

That's okay... maybe if this V.p. gig don't pan out... she can go on 'Dancing With The Stars' or something.

Actually many Iranian youth prefer Western ideals, it is the nutjob radical leaders that don't like us.

They may prefer Westrn Ideals.. but, they still hate our Foriegn policy as it applies to the Middle East. That's the fuel that keeps those nutjob radical leaders in place.

Who votes on polls?
