Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama: The approval gap silently shrinks to a few points

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Palin will never be President. I doubt that she'll even be able to get close to clinching the GOP nomination though I sure hope she would. But hey, maybe Carrie Prejean will decide to run for the GOP nomination, too. A cat fight. That would entertaining.

Why are you sexist?

Sexist? Me?

She's more qualified than the community agitator. And he's proving it on a daily basis.

Your partisan bias is showing. Like or dislike President Obama most observers felt he out debated John McCain, who is 100X more experienced than Palin & thus a much more worthy opponent. Granted Obama didn't have much experience either, but he appeared much more knowledgeable on the issues than Palin.

Palin is a novelty & a gimmick, with little substance. The GOP knows this & they will promote someone else for 2012. Look for Romney or Huckabee, with maybe Gingrich as the VP.

Once again though you prove my point. That "experience" doesn't necessarily make one qualified as one can be experienced at being wrong 90% of the time. McCain was a populist through most of his career and only tried to be something he was not during the campaign. He had plenty of experience at being a populist, but that does not qualify someone to be president. Just as experience at agitating does not make Obama qualified for president either. But since people want to say that he has more experience than Palin, they are full of BS. She held elected office longer than he did, and had more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined.

Now you can disagree with the issues, but that never works for the left. All they do is portray the republican as "stupid" "uneducated" and it doesn't win people over to their side. If it were a republican ONLY reading from a teleprompter wherever he went, they'd have something to say about it. But since its Obama, they have no problem with it.

What do you have against intelligence and education?

I ask myself that each and every time I see a post from Joe. He exhibits neither an each of his posts. Joe's posts are like a form of Mad Libs. You've already got most of it right there, you just need to plug in a few adjectives, pronouns, proper names, and librul here and there.

I actually agree with you about experience not necessarily equating success (or lack thereof not neccessarily equating failure). Beyond that you resorted to your usual partisan rhetoric. My dislike of Palin is not based on her gender or even political affliation, but rather she just doesn't come across as being knowledgeable or articulate about the issues. I also can't stand her constant attempts to portray herself as a victim of media bias (saying or doing something stupid & then blaming the media isn't bias, it's whining).

I have praised Newt Gingrich many times on VJ because he is what Palin isn't... articulate, knowledgeable & intelligent. He is a true conservative (one of the few, as most today are pretenders or blowhards) so you can't play the "lib" card here.

Joe is simply playing the "insincere outrage" card, which is a very weak card. Most people disapprove of Palin for the reasons I just mentioned; very few dislike her because she is a woman or because they are intimidated by her intelligence & education.

Gingritch is not a true conservative. He is a party loyalist first and foremost. He endorsed a RINO instead of the conservative (although thats not the only reason). I think he's a nice guy, just as I think McCain is a nice guy, but neither are conservatives.

So you say she "doesn't come across as", but how well of a job did she do in Alaska as its executive? Her constituents (70%) approved of her job. You can't say the same of Obama. Obama plays the victim card whenever Fox news gets mentioned, so whats the difference, other than the fact that she's more qualified? Obama is articulate when he's reading the teleprompter, but take him off and its all "uhhhhh.... ummmmm.... and... uhhhh.. respirators and my muslim faith.... uhhhhhh". If you don't see that, then I can't help you.

Her approval rating in her short tenure as governor had a lot more to do with the price of oil during that time than anything else. Residents of Alaska get an annual stipend from the state that flucutates according to oil prices. They received their highest payouts ever the last two years, hence a higher approval rating. But I suppose you'll find some way to say that she stimulated the price of crude oil.

Joe, do a bit of reading and learn about a topic before you decide to post on it.

What's the problem? Joe and the real conservatives can work hard to get Palin on the ticket for 2012. It's possible. If they think she would be a good president, good for them. 'Nuff said.
