Sarah Palin was introduced to the public over night. One day no one knew who Palin was, and the next day she was running for Vice President alongside John McCain. Many people found McCain's ideas too similar to President Bush's and American's wanted a fresh face with fresh ideas. Americans wanted to bounce back from years of depression and job loss. Palin was a breath of fresh air for republicans. She was new and interesting to them and her popularity grew even after McCain lost the election. However, now her inexperience has more than shown in many of her speeches, like her response about her ties to the Tuscon event and her calling the accusations a "blood libel". She seems more interested in being popular than a successful politician because now she even has a reality tv show. Gloria Borger states, "In GOP circles, she's beginning to be seen as toxic in any presidential race". Even those who once supported her open up about the "public exhaustion" with Palin, and her unfavorable rating with women has gone up 10 points, which totals to 14 points in the past few months. A rating like this will be hard to recover from and win a presidential election.
