6. When people start saying "Sarah, who?"

Then maybe we will be a little better off.

11. 40% favorable?

Bush the Stupider would have killed for a stratospheric approval rating like that.

12. Or it could read, "American's don't like Palin, BECAUSE the media keeps forcing her on them."

Sure, I know she's an idiot and there's no liking her really, but I'm sure that her exposure makes people like her less.

14. She'll win the nomination and then Bloomberg will enter the 2012 race as a independant and win.

15. The hard truth is Palin "still sells papers".

The media has yet to pass on even an innocuous story concerning her.
