I must say that I am quite surprised with the results of the poll so far. I know that a lot of Romney supporters were eager to have Romney on the ticket, but I didn’t realize it would be a deal-breaker for so many. Granted the sampling is not that large, but there already seems to be a pattern.
If the results were weighted +2 for ‘ecstatic’ to -2 for ‘Mac just lost my vote’, we would have a total of 41 positive points and 43 negative points for a net -2. (note: 60 total votes so far)
I believe (and hope) that most of those who have written off McCain because of his veep pick will come around. I think as we start seeing a lot more of Obama and his dangerous platforms that most will return.
Some post-primary polling in Utah comes to mind. I recall reports immediately after Romney dropped out of the primaries that showed McCain polling extremely low in Utah which was hugely supportive of Romney. The result in fact showed him just a fraction higher than Obama with most of the crowd in the ‘undecided’ category. Fortunately, primary bitterness has worn off in Utah and clearer heads are prevailing. The polls for Utah now show McCain up 62% to 23%, one of the largest pro-McCain gaps in the country.
Hopefully we’ll see some more of that as November nears.

I’m sorry… i don’t care what her ‘beliefs’ are… she hasn’t held public office for two full years yet…
Putting Granddad in office and a woman 1.. tentative heartbeat away from taking that office… who has about a year and halfs more experience than my mom…
I’m sorry this is irresponsible… it will appear desperate… and it IS pandaring… don’t kid yourselves… this was a huge mistake.

I apologize to two commentors. I was moderating comments from my iPhone and accidentally marked them as spam.
One was regarding Palin being the mother of a young special needs child and that she should be with him instead of office. The other was saying that Palin was inexperienced and a very poor choice of VP.
Again I’m so sorry. Not trying to censor or anything.
