Bill is the consummate politician, so he knows what he's doing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nerdgirl 0 #6 September 23, 2008 Did he ever say he “prefers” Governor Palin or is that intentional misconstruction? Reminds me of when President Bush said “Well, Mandela is dead”. I'm giving him credit that he wasn’t actaully saying Mandela was actually dead … just as former President Clinton wasn’t saying he thought Governor Palin would be a better Vice President.

billvon 3,120 #8 September 23, 2008 Apparently Clinton likes her, but not too many other people do - especially in Colorado. From Public Policy Polling: ----------- A precipitous drop in Sarah Palin’s approval may be helping to fuel Obama’s gains. Immediately after the convention 41% of Colorado voters said that her selection made them more likely to vote for John McCain, compared to 38% who said it made them less likely to do so. Since then there’s been a 12 point drop in her net favorability. Now just 38% say that she makes them more likely to vote for the Republican, with 47% saying they’re less likely to do so. “Barack Obama has greatly increased his lead with independents since we last polled Colorado,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “It seems like the more voters have learned about Sarah Palin the less they’ve liked her, and that’s allowed Obama to open up the largest lead he’s shown in a PPP poll of Colorado.” . . . The movement over the last couple weeks has been particularly acute with independent voters. 56% of them say that the Palin choice makes them less likely to support McCain and what was a 49-38 lead for Obama with that group is now a 58-31 advantage. ---------- From WaPo: Those results are remarkably similar to data from July Quinnipiac polls in each of the four states and suggest that despite the massive media coverage surrounding the two parties' national nominating conventions as well as the vice presidential selections -- especially that of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, which many presumed would alter the campaign's dynamic -- little has changed in the race for the White House. -------- So what to do, what to do? The McCain campaign has come up with a fairly reasonable plan. If no one talks to her, then she can't get more unpopular. Thus they have been limiting her time with reporters to a few seconds at a time. From CNN: --------- CNN - McCain-Palin campaign officials shifted course Tuesday after being informed by television news organizations that they would not broadcast footage of Sarah Palin’s meeting with Afghan leader Hamid Karzai Tuesday in New York — the Republican VP nominee’s first with a foreign leader — if a reporter was not allowed in to observe the pair. . . . After 29 seconds observing the meeting, CNN and other photographers covering the meeting were escorted out of the room. Later, McCain-Palin press representatives chalked up the restrictions to a “mix-up, a miscommunication among staff.” The full pool — a print and wires reporter, along with a television producer — was then allowed in to observe Palin’s meeting with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe for 15-20 seconds. ---------- The debates will be interesting.
