1. She is a rock.

[FrenchieCat]

3. Tied with a cord around McCain's ankle.

[1Hippiechick]

23. Or an albatross around his neck. n/t

[Poiuyt]

5. Dumber than a rock

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

12. Like a Rock, Only Dumber

My favorite Bush Bumper Sticker.

[KathieG]

44. lol...one of my favs too

[saltpoint]

2. If they polled wolves, her numbers would sink even lower.

I don't care for her politics one iota.

Her political style is at least as bad or worse.

I don't care for her voice or her eyeglasses or her damn church either.

[lyonn]

10. She's a Hard Hearted Hanna

She sees taking over the reigns in Alaska as a way to get rid of people that don't agree with her and replace with her crony friends who are Yes people and then calls it getting rid of corruption??

Palin has a smartass mouth but is real short on honor and smarts.

[saltpoint]

11. Yes. She's quick with the sarcastic pre-written put-down

but the record up there in Alaska doesn't support her as a very nice person.

[PatriotGames]

37. Donate to the Defenders of Wildlife (if you haven't already)...

We have been fighting aerial wolf killing for a while now.

38. If I have to "Thanks, but no thanks..." again...

I will kill myself.

[Arugula Latte]

4. Good to know people are catching on.

[bluestateguy]

6. Bubbles always burst

Just ask our DUers for Howard Dean in 2004.

[dkf]

7. I can't wait to see what the SNL gig does to her.

:)

[HysteryDiagnosis]

8. She's never wrong, just ask her. Hooooey, an Alaskan albatross,

what a rare creature indeed.

[HughMoran]

9. Good trend here

Can't fool all of the people all of the time.

[Waiting For Everyman]

13. Pushing her lies (and McC's) is working!

That's a hopeful sign. But it needs constant push until they're tanked.

People need to see they're 100% lying about being reformers. McC cleaned up his image after the Keating 5 with McCain-Feingold etc., but he has reverted right back to his Keating-self again now. He's the Lobbyist Express, and blatantly lying about it.

The only thing he knows how to reform is his image.

Btw, I'm in the DC/VA market and I just saw on tv a short ad about McCain's temperament and "the red button" (from some 527-ish group which I didn't catch the name of). Good!

[donco6]

14. She's a brick and he's drowning slowly. . .

off the coast and they're headed nowhere.

[obamacon]

45. Nice Ben Folds reference

I hear they're reuniting for the first time in 10 years.

[donco6]

46. I was getting all emo . . .

. . . and who else do you turn to but BFF?

[Phx_Dem]

15. Sinking like a stone. n/t

[L. Coyote]

16. Biden is the unknown in these numbers.

[Libby2]

17. Like a rock, only dumber.

[Tutonic]

18. that Hannity interview is going to be a stake in the heart!

[Imagevision]

21. Hannity interview will work back-asswords for Palin because of Hannity's Palin impression

[applegrove]

19. Good news.

[Hippo_Tron]

20. Problem is that people don't vote for the VP

I think Palin's biggest impact is that she got the base in line and moved the undecideds in the base firmly into the McCain camp. Hence we're seeing McCain pull ahead in a lot of red states where Obama and McCain were both previously about even but generally both under 45%.

22. If people don't vote for the VP...

how did she get the base in line?

[Hippo_Tron]

24. I should've said undecided voters or swing voters don't vote for the VP

Having a right wing nutjob in the number 2 spot is the kind of thing that the GOP base would turn out to vote for.

[Teaser]

25. Yeah, but here's how it coud work

really old about to die cancer dude presidential candidate + young crazy corrupt inexperienced weirdo vice presidential candidate = LOSE

[Forkboy]

43. Maybe not, but they don't ignore it either.

[Dawgs]

26. I've noticed that she is either extremely liked or extremely hated.

The extreme dislike for her will work in our favor.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

27. O highest favs. B lowest negs.

Gotta be worth something.

[me b zola]

34. Hopefully the presidency

:)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

35. I'm relatively unworried about it. I hardly bite my nails anymore.

[PermanentRevolution]

36. Ewwww, that creeps me out!

*shudder*

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

39. Sorry.

[PermanentRevolution]

40. Oh, God! That's even WORSE!!!

:evilgrin:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

41. Lol.

[NC_Nurse]

28. I have sent out several emails about her record. I just got one back about

aerial hunting. :puke: The person didn't realize I had originated the email. I noticed that she sent it to over 50 other people. :bounce:

[freespirit5]

29. An anchor on McSame

nt

[Canuckistanian]

30. "rock" - as in "dumber than a bag of...."

With apologies to bags of rocks everywhere.

[midnight armadillo]

31. McCain's timing was off

He should have announced she was the running mate on Nov 1 to take advantage of her bounce.

[jillan]

32. Go Obama and Joe! Obama highest favorable and Biden lowest unfavorable.

Yay for us!

[apnu]

33. Some very interesting info looking back at the history of the data.

http://www.dailykos.com/dailypoll/2008/09/14 <-- subtract 1 from that last number for each day you want to see until "11"

DailyKos is using Research 2000's tracking data.

In the interest of fairness and clarity, here are McCain, Obama and
Biden's numbers from the same source.

Everybody but Palin has suffered a 2 point drop in favorablity. Palin has taken a 5 point drop over the same period with the same demographics. Ouch! McCain's unfavorablity is more or less unchanged. Obama has improved slightly, and Biden is the best but trending up which is not good. Still, even with the trend, Biden seems to be the best liked when you gage Fav vs Unfav.
