[Click to Enlarge]Once perceptions are formed, they are difficult to break. And we all know how Quayle 2000 turned out. He didn't make it to Iowa. Will Palin?
Incidentally, Jonathan Bernstein over at A Plain Blog About Politics has an interesting take on how Palin fits into the 2012 field; like an issue candidate (a la Kucinich or Paul) but with a much bigger following. I aptly, in my opinion, draws a parallel between her and Jesse Jackson's run in 1984. It's an good read; check it out.

part of palin's problem is she is not on the airwaves defending herself.
ReplyDeleteher book tour will give her a huge boost imho.
Agreed. Rob mentioned this in the 2012 post earlier in the week. I think the book release will have a positive impact on her polling numbers (ie: 2012 primaries or trial heats against Obama).
ReplyDeleteHowever, I don't know that it will necessarily change views on this particular question; her qualifications to be president.
I need to stop responding and forgetting to link to the things I'm referencing. Here's the link to Rob's comment.

ReplyDeletethe first 3 republican debates will answer this question.
Those words are from the poll question.
ReplyDeleteDebates may go a long way toward changing those numbers, but I don't know that the book will.
