Is Palin still relevant? (Cafferty -- read for the responses!)

[eppur_se_muova]

FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

As Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gets ready to quit Sunday and become former Alaska governor — a new poll might put a damper on her future political plans.

The Washington Post/ABC News Poll shows 53-percent of Americans view Palin negatively, while only 40-percent see her in positive terms — the lowest level in this poll since she was tapped as the Republican vice presidential nominee.

Palin is one of the most polarizing figures in modern politics. She is still quite popular among members of her own party: 70-percent of Republicans view her in a positive light — but that number is down from pre-election levels. More importantly she has also lost ground among white evangelicals — the base of the Republican party.

Only as an entertainer. She is quite amusing in her efforts to remain relevant politically, and it seems to me to be a comic excersize in futility. But no matter what, I will continue to read about her…and try to understand why any single American recognizes her as anything other than a fluke…which is QUITE entertaining.

I sure hope so! The woman is Christmas in July to late night comedians and, as a left leaning person, the best advertisement for voting Democratic available. Palin/Bachmann 2012!

(At a quick guess, running 10:1 against Palin)

1. Well the tide has turned on her. 11 months ago there was much

more support - even on Cafferty's blog.

2. Of course not--she's just another community organizer now.

She can STILL be popped for any outstanding ethics complaint, though, can't she?

3. Asking if she's still relevant...

assumes that she was ever relevant in the first place.
