THIS I did not expect. Palin? Sure. No one knew her, and lots wanted to find out who she is and what she has to say. But McCain? I suppose he’s fortunate that his lead-in was the opening game of the NFL season, non?
UPDATE: And here’s the reason the Democrats have legitimate reason to worry. According to Rasmussen in a poll out today…
Among unaffiliated voters, favorable opinions of McCain have increased by eleven percentage points in a week — from 54% before the Palin announcement to 65% today.
Cry and scream all you want about how unqualified she may be. From a strategic standpoint, this is a problem for you. Why? Because people not only seem to really like her, but the Democrats constant comparison of her to Obama has gotten people thinking. And that’s lead to this:
However, following the Wednesday night speech, voters are fairly evenly divided as to whether Palin or Obama has the better experience to be President. Forty-four percent (44%) of voters say Palin has the better experience while 48% say Obama has the edge. Among unaffiliated voters, 45% say Obama has better experience while 42% say Palin.
