The Public Pulse
I can't open up my desktop these days without getting the results of yet another political poll. I just read on Yahoo!News that polls indicate Sarah Palin is a drag on John McCain's ticket, big time. Public opinion seems to be shooting up that Palin is unqualified to serve as president. Was it the Saturday Night Live rap that did her in? Please note: if it weren't for the Wonderful Web World, I wouldn't have seen the Saturday Night Live segment here in Abu Dhabi. And I'm getting the poll results not from a traditional news source like The New York Times but from The Yahoo!Newsroom with the tag "Blog of the #1 News Site." Can international news junkies trust the polls is another question. Maybe Saturday Night Live has a better finger on the public pulse.

I think that the skits done on Saturday Night Live are really funny and according to the show's high ratings they definitely have an impact on public opinion but the fact that Sarah Palin actually joined them as well shows the public her sense of humor and would make her likable again even though many people doubt that she is a good choice for vice-president. Also, appearances make a huge difference in election politics as far as I'm concerned and what I have observed and the people can get easily influenced by that therefore her appearance on SNL is definately an advantage to her.
