It just keeps pouring in [via NYTimes<\/a>]:<\/p>\n

A growing number of voters have concluded that Senator John McCain\u2019s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, is not qualified to be vice president, weighing down the Republican ticket in the last days of the campaign, according to the latest New York Times\/CBS News poll.<\/p>\n

All told, 59 percent of voters surveyed said Ms. Palin was not prepared for the job, up nine percentage points since the beginning of the month. Nearly a third of voters polled said the vice-presidential selection would be a major factor influencing their vote for president, and those voters broadly favor Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee.<\/p>\n

And in a possible indication that the choice of Ms. Palin has hurt Mr. McCain\u2019s image, voters said they had much more confidence in Mr. Obama to pick qualified people for his administration than they did in Mr. McCain…<\/p>\n

The increase in the number of voters who said Ms. Palin was not prepared was driven almost entirely by Republicans and independents.. Over all, views of Ms. Palin were apparently shaped more by ideology and party than by gender. Ms. Palin was viewed as unprepared for the job by about 6 in 10 men and women alike. But 8 in 10 Democrats viewed her as unprepared, as well as more than 6 in 10 independents and 3 in 10 Republicans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And she’s supposed to be the new vision of the Republican Party? Are they trying to pick up on the Democratic tradition of losing all major national elections? Regardless, the national ticket for the Republican party is a sinking like a stone.<\/p>\n
