Good Grief! I'm a supporter and I don't even do Facebook. I wonder how many of us there are! Lots, probably! Too damned old and stuck in our ways to fool around with Facebook and Twitter stuff.

Sarah Palin: new chapter, same challenges
If Sarah Palin's book tour is an opening salvo in a run for the presidency in 2012, she faces a steep uphill climb: a majority of Americans in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll say they would "definitely not vote for her."
Most - 60 percent - in the new poll say the former Alaska governor is not qualified to serve as president, and her favorability rating remains stuck well below what it was when she first emerged on the national scene at last year's Republican convention.
But she continues to have strident supporters, particularly among the Republican base, lifting her political influence. Overall, 52 percent of those polled say they see Palin in unfavorable terms, but among Republicans, her positive rating soars to 76 percent. Nearly two-thirds of all white evangelical Protestants hold favorable views of her.
Put together, a majority of Americans have "strongly" positive or negative views of her, more than enough to propel her new memoir onto the bestseller lists.
However, if the goal is the White House, public opinion is now tilted against the idea: asked if they would consider voting for Palin in 2012, 53 percent say they would not. Just 9 percent say they would definitely vote for her; another 37 percent say they would consider it. The 53 percent who say they would definitely not vote for Palin now is nearly twice the percentage who said so of her 2008 running mate John McCain in the spring of 2006 (28 percent). Back then, 42 percent said they would definitely not support Hillary Clinton for the presidency.
Women tend to be more critical of Palin than are men, with female Democrats and independents more apt than their male counterparts to view her unfavorably, see her as not qualified for the presidency and say they would not support her candidacy.
More from this new poll later today and this week in the Washington Post.

So why all the hype from you Skip? You wouldn't know it ( presidential polls being 3 years out) listening to all the Palin hype, you would think she was in campaign mode. Seriously though, writing a book doesn't make her presidential material. It's great she made a bunch of money. After all she let the very people down who elected her into office. She will never get around that.

Putting on a jump suit and standing by some troops or national guard getting her picture taken is a photo op, or holding a rifle,or riding a atv,etc.etc. You should know better than that. It still doesn't make her presidential material or the book. Sorry but too many can see thru the facade.

So your married to her right? NOT!! Quit all the BS Skip. Wanna bet she never even served in the military. It's just in her blood .... right? She's a quitter. Not such a great trait for a "leader". Palins not so much of a thinker either IMHO.She's an opportunist.
The pictures are PHOTO OP's ... designed to direct people towards a certain opinion of her. Some get it .... some don't.
