When asked about a Beck/Palin ticket, Glenn Beck said he wasn't electable and "there are far too many people that are far smarter than me to be president."

According to a new poll from Vanity Fair and CBS News' 60 Minutes, the former Alaska governor might not be electable either.

The poll asks, "Do you think SARAH PALIN would have the ability to be an EFFECTIVE PRESIDENT?"

59 percent of respondents agree that the former Alaska governor would not be effective while 26 percent think she would.

A press release sent to RAW STORY announced:

Sarah Palin would not be an effective president say 6 in 10 Americans. Seventy-five percent of Democrats, 40 percent of Republicans, and 63 percent of independents all agreed that Sarah Palin would not be an effective president. Twenty-six percent overall did think she could navigate the Oval Office, including 47 percent of Republicans, 12 percent of Democrats, and 21 percent of independents.

Most notably, self-described conservatives were almost evenly split on the question. 40 percent said that Palin would not be effective while 41 percent said she would.

1. Bear in mind...

About 20% think the sun revolves around the earth and 10% think the earth is flat with the oceans held in by a gigantic ice wall at the edge.

2. Close to the same number approved of Bush at the end of his term

That seems to be the average percentage for people who like morons in control.
