With a favorable rating of 58%, she beats both of the frontrunners.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, this is good news for Team McCain, who are now enjoying a post-convention bounce in the polls. The bad news is that political common wisdom holds true &#8212; people don&#8217;t vote for things, they vote against things, so high favorables don&#8217;t mean a lot. Add to this that people don&#8217;t tend to be very influenced by the second slot &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2008\/09\/05\/AR2008090503932.html?hpid=topnews\" target=\"_BLANK\">55%<\/a> say it won&#8217;t influence their decision &#8212; and she&#8217;s pretty much a wash. In fact, polls show that if there&#8217;s any effect, it&#8217;s a negative one. Support for the ticket has gone down among women, thanks mostly to Palin&#8217;s extremist views on abortion.<\/p>\n<p>But popular is popular. The reason for that popularity is easy to explain; the only thing most people know about her is what the McCain camp is telling them. Sarah Palin isn&#8217;t a candidate, she&#8217;s a projection cast by the Republican propaganda machine. The words she spoke at the RNC weren&#8217;t hers, but those of former Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully. All Palin really did was read it well from a teleprompter &#8212; not much of a challenge for a former TV sportscaster. We have yet to see Sarah Palin as Sarah Palin, Governor of a state with a population the size of Baltimore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Terry Canaan September 8, 2008 New polling shows that John McCain&#8217;s running mate, Sarah Palin, is pretty popular.
