Poll question: Palin has lost ALL credibility today. She's now unelectable. True or not?

Posted on TMZ:

Palin has lost ALL credibility today. The one 'good' thing of this tragedy will be that she is now unelectable for ANY office.

1. she has ALWAYS been unelectable. nt

[yourout]

2. +1....

this just makes it moreso.

[jannyk]

5. You stole my answer! :)

[Amaril]

8. Big + 1 n/t

[onehandle]

12. Yep. nt

[Richard Steele]

14. Yes. But she's very INSTALLABLE, and this doesn't change that. nm

[readmoreoften]

30. +1

[Zax2me]

3. Was she ever electable? n/a

[Seen the light]

4. I thought she was always unelectable

She'll remain loved by Republicans and probably win the nomination and then get destroyed by Obama. Nothing has changed, that was true yesterday and it will be true tomorrow.

11. good point. Sometimes the media behaves as if she's on a pre-victory lap for the white house

[NYC Liberal]

6. In a saner country, she never would have had credibility to begin with.

In this country? Look around.

[villager]

20. +1

n/t

[eleny]

7. True - And said it a bit ago

9. The public has a short memory

[somone]

10. Garbage in, garbage out

she was trash then, and she is still trash

[Amerigo Vespucci]

13. She's Teflon with her base...they're not budging an inch, they're all defending her today

Everyone else, maybe not so much.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

21. Exactly right. Her base will support her regardless

[Warpy]

15. She's never been electable except in Alaska

However, what we all fear is that she'll be cheated into office like another unelectable dry drunk half wit we all remember all to well.

[tallahasseedem]

16. I sure in the hell hope so...

I'm so sick of her damn rhetoric...it is time that this madness STOP!

[apocalypsehow]

17. No matter how this turns out - and let's hope the Congresswoman fully recovers - Palin is now in

George Wallace status, politically.

After the horrific Church bombing that killed four young African-American girls while he was governor - and after some of his extremist rhetoric - there was not a chance he was ever going to be President of the United States. I would wager that this incident has done the same for Palin's political future.

[indy legend]

I think you underestimate the stupidity of right wing morons and

the ability of talk radio and Fox Noise to manipulate these fucking morons into voting for shit stains like Palin. Throw in the citizens United ruling and the continued consolidation of media in this country it is very much still within the realm of possibility for this fucking p.o.s to be elected. Be afraid, be very afraid

[chill_wind]

22. Intractibly stupid, they are. She was never electable, but they've never understood that,

and they won't understand it any better, now. They absolutely won't.

[GSLevel9]

18. she was ELECTABLE before?

[Lost-in-FL]

19. False... violence towards a liberal pushed Kansas voters towards supporting Rand Paul.

[indy legend]

26. Rand Paul was voted in by morons in Kentucky but your point is well taken

[Lost-in-FL]

31. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. True, Kentucky and NOT Kansas.

:hi:

[Drale]

23. If there can be anything taken away from this tragedy

it has to be that people might start to realize that the tea party don't want anything but hate and violence in this country.

[Riftaxe]

24. Other: she was never electable nationally in the first place (nt)

[Art_from_Ark]

25. Oh, my gosh

SarahPAC and her "gun sights" map, with one of the "sights" a reference to Giffords. Damn.

[Initech]

27. Palin is done.

[MattBaggins]

28. Other. This guy might very well hate her as well

People here might not be happy if this guy turns out just to be a nutjob who is neither left nor right.

He might just be crazy.

[krawhitham]

29. She never was electable, her only use was to

Split the GOP. she would lose the GOP the nomination and run as a 3rd party tea party candidate.


The GOP vote would be split and Obama could phone it in

[flvegan]

32. I LOVE that TMZ has this up with the info on the dem "targets"

Seriously, TMZ. They get what, a bazillion hits each day by every side of the political spectrum. If TMZ is helping it stick, I think it will stick.

[Bonobo]

33. This will HELP her. nt

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

34. She NEVER had credibility!!! n/t

[FreeState]

35. I remember a dead man being re-elected in MO - so who knows n/t

[lpbk2713]

36. Her facade has finally been shattered.

I hope she goes broke in a vain and futile effort to repair her image.
