Poll: Confidence in Palin low
The Gallup Organization, in a survey Friday, also reveals Palin has low name recognition, with a majority of those polled saying they had never heard of her.
Only 39 percent said they believe Palin is qualified to serve as president, while 33 percent said she is unqualified and 29 percent were not sure. When Democratic nominee Barack Obama picked U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware last week, 57 percent said Biden could step into the top job.
Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, announced his selection of Palin at a rally in Dayton, Ohio, Friday. It was Palin's first real national appearance after two years as governor and several as mayor of Wasilla, a town of 8,000.
A majority of respondents said the vice presidential pick would not affect their vote, with 67 percent saying that of Palin and 72 percent of Biden. While 18 percent said the Palin choice makes them more likely to vote for McCain, 11 percent said they were less likely. Similar numbers for Biden were 14 percent and 7 percent.
Gallup polled 898 people by telephone. The poll has a margin of error of 4 percent either way.

50 Million cnildren
Pawdek: First, how can you friends reduce 50 million children to mere economics?
For what it's worth, our economy would be far BETTER if we hadn't legalized abortion. Only Democrats speak of human life as an expense. One, because democrats (who CLAIM to be compassionate) have hearts of stone and two, because democrats are totally ignorant of demographics & economics & don't understand that things would be far better if we had more (legal) citizens.
Well, you democrats won't get your social security because you murdered the people who would have been putting into it & thats why we have so many illegal aliens because we murdered the people who would be doing the work.
(It's nonsense to say Americans won't do the jobs. Illegal aliens plus minimum wage equals millions of unemployed teenagers.

Palin Poll
A question never asked----who would have fed, clothed, housed, educated those 40-50 million children? We cannot feed, clothe, house, and educate the ones already born----or, more precisely, have chosen not to feed, clothe, house, educate them.
The question is often put to me by friends. How can I best answer them?

To Kathie
When people make generalizations the way you did, it discredits them in my eyes. I had no intention of supporting Sen. Clinton just because she is a woman. I do not trust her and I believe her policies will be detrimental to America. Furthermore, I believe Obama's plans are traitorous to America and are designed to bring down America as a power nation. McCain might not be the best choice for America, but he's better than the other choices we have. But when I saw that Sarah Palin actually did something about corruption, I began to have hope for politics in America.

Obama & Hitler
Obama doesn't look like Hitler or talk like Hitler. He DOES talk like Karl Marx which should make any thoughtful person nervous about voting for him since SOCIALISM NEVER WORKS. NEVER!!
However Obama & the democratic party ARE DIRECTLY responsible for MURDERING some 50 MILLION unborn children since 1973.
So you see, Obama WILL "rush out and murder babies" by his political actions, because that is what democratic politicians do. But Kathie, he couldn't do it without you.
Don't think that just because you and Obama don't actually butcher the children with your own hands that you won't be held responsible; you will be. The entire nation will be.
Obama is being compared to Hitler because he supports the type of actions (unwittingly perhaps) that Hitler did.
Kathie, maybe in God's eyes the United States is WORSE than Nazi Germany. At least the Germans had the excuse, pathetic though it was, that it was their evil government that murdered all tose millions of people.
Here in America, we MURDERED 50 million of our own children by "choice", one child at a time. That is a million times worse than anything you can invent to justify the way you vote. The end of our nation is at hand. No country that wages war on it's own children can survive.
It won't be long now. You (and I) will have to account to God soon. I hope to persuade you to reconsider at least a little.
