Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as VP of the US?
It's at 52% yes, 47% no. Apparently there's an email campaign to tilt the poll towards yes. So, you know, take a sec and go vote.

But from my informal polling of my (admittedly conservative Southern) family the majority don't even know her stance. My sister, for example, is an adamant and vocal Palin supporter. But she didn't know she was a creationist. She didn't know she was pro-life. She didn't know about the library censorship. Not that any of that would matter to her as my sister is a pro-life creationist who is home-schooling her children to keep them from being exposed to "inappropriate" material... but the point still stands that even before she knew that Palin was her long-lost older twin she was going to vote for her. And it's got nothing to do with the fact that she's a conservative Republican and everything to do with the fact that she's a chick.
Sad but true.
