I had heard Palin is having a bigger effect on male voters than female interestingly. I guess it kind of makes sense....

The polls I've seen have Palin generating interest from entirely within the Republican party. Her sole purpose was to energize the base. She's done that but nothing else. Overall, she now has the highest negatives and lowest positives of any of the four candidates.

its like I said 2 weeks ago. Palin has an inevitable backlach coming, there was no avoiding it. They rode her surprise for a while but people will get over her. In the coming weeks will be the decider of her future. Obama went through this stuff last winter and prevailed, well see if Palin will.
