Polls Show Palin Is Starting to Drag Down McCain
By Markos Moulitsas, Daily Kos. Posted September 19, 2008.
The intense focus to reveal the truth about Sarah Palin's credentials
has taken its toll on her numbers.
No one can doubt that McCain's choice of Palin rejuvenated a listless,
dying campaign. She excited the Theocon Right and brought them home,
and being a fresh new face with an interesting bio, she captivated the
nation's attention. Her initial numbers were sky high, and she packed
them in for McCain. Suddenly, what had been a large Obama post-DNCC
bounce turned on a dime, and Palin delivered a huge surge for her
ticket.
Bloggers and tradmed reporters took a hard look at Sarah Palin and
began raking her over the coals for myriad transgressions. She is a
liar with theocratic tendencies, sports an intellect that makes Bush
look like a Mensa member, and features an obvious fondness for
Cheney-style abuses of power. And that's not even the worst of it.
