Palin = Feylin'


CAB - This post is just for you!

From fivethirtyeight.com:

McCain's other problem is that Sarah Palin may no longer be an asset to the ticket; in fact, she may be a liability. Averaging the candidates' favorability scores across four recent polls -- as one should always try and do when looking at favorability numbers since they can vary greatly depending on question wording -- Palin now has the worst net scores among the four principals in the race:



Palin's average favorability score is now a +7 -- about 10 points behind Joe Biden's numbers. Perhaps more importantly, these numbers are 10-15 points behind where Palin's numbers were just a week or so ago. If voters come in not knowing very much about a candidate -- and the more they see of the candidate, the less they like of the candidate -- this is a major concern.
The queen of moose stew may not by McCain's golden girl after all

Thanks for the shout-out!

Yeah, I'd liken Palin to Livan Hernandez; capable of providing a short-term boost early in the season but certainly not the person you'd want in the campaign for the playoffs (presidency).
