Voters Souring on Palin for President
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
The backlash against retiring Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has started. Palin was once the fave of Republicans for the 2012 GOP nomination, but a new Whispers poll finds that a large majority just want her to go home. [See photos of Sarah Palin.]
In our latest Whispers poll conducted by Synovate eNation after Palin announced her shocking plans to quit her job, 66 percent said that Palin should return home to care for her family when we asked what her next move should be. Just 13 percent said that Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, should run for the presidency in three years. Some 15 percent backed her plans for a national speaking tour, and a tiny 6 percent said that she should start a radio or TV talk show.

There's a false notion out there that Democrats are scared to death of Palin. Actually, her nomination would be a gift from God to the Democratic Party.
Sure, everybody likes a folksy gal who can gut her own fish and skin her own bears. But what we need in a President is brains, and that is where she comes up short.
Palin is great at throwing red meat to the radical right. But she hasn't shown a capacity for doing much else, and people are going to realize that when they actually have to pull the lever.
