Is Palin's star dimming?

Ah Sarah, we still hardly know ye. But does familiarity breed less enthusiasm?

Some polls say so, reports Newsweek blogger Andrew Romano.

When I heard of this choice, my first reaction was to ask what her positions on national and international issues are. And her record on those areas. When I found out that she had neither, I made my decision.

IMO, only voters who have no interest in making vise choices in their voting will find her worth considering. McCain directly insulted every voter who wants to have qualified people to choose from for President when he picked her to run with.

Well, if Palin is unqualified, what about Obama? They have pretty much the same amount of elected experience.

Maybe not I see where a professor in Colorado made his class write stories on how bad Palin! Nice to see how our tax dollars used to support colleges, is used to brain wash students. Wonder if the media will report this?
I also see were some journalist report that white trashy people will vote for Palin. Kinda doubt we will see this either.

Ratings for Hannity interviews with Pain, 4,921,00 people. Rating for Cris Matthews, 1,145,000 people. Check the ratings of cable stations. Fox kicks butts. Seems fair and balanced beats the heck out of liberal and slanted. Try it your readers might like it.

Actually, I watch Fox fairly regularly but missed Hannity's interview.
I am a big fan of Chris Wallace, by the way.

The incomprehensible visceral reaction to Sarah Palin, a person more like, and more represents people like you and me than almost any elected official, proves conclusively my long stated view that liberalism is merely a mental illness! Of all of the vile attacks, the most telling was from a South Carolina DNC official who said that Palins’ only qualification is that she hasn’t had an abortion.

That’s the real issue, abortion. The deranged liberals have perverted a naturally benign word, choice, by calling the killing of innocent unborn children “a woman’s right to choose!” This is truly a product of damaged minds. More disturbing is the fact that the major tenant of one political party is abortion. Above all else, they battle to keep a woman’s right to kill her unborn child, at any time, for any reason. Their presidential candidate is so extreme, and so callous that he voted against legislation that would have required medical attention for survivors of botched late term abortions!

If Obama had his way, Gianna Jessen, one of those survivors, now 30, would have not run the two 26 mile marathons that she completed, disregarding her Cerebral Palsy caused by the botched attempt! She can be seen on You Tube delivering a poignant, but not angry, message to Obama!

The deranged left calls Palin an “extremist?” These sick people believe killing unborn children is normal, and their opponents are “extremists.” If not mental illness, what! For those (most people) who believe in Heaven and Hell, how many slave owners and traders do you think reside in Heaven? It was Constitutional! How many do you think mocked their neighbors as “extremists” who believed “owning” another human being to be an abomination? How are those people viewed today? When we become enlightened how will today’s abortionists be viewed?
