Palin being number 2 (there's a joke in there somewhere) doesn't surprise me either. I work with some very conservative guys and they LOVE Sarah Palin. She hunts, she goes fishing and she is pleasant to look at. They also tell me that Sarah isn't as dumb as people make her out to be. Well, most people think she's an idiot so I guess they might be right. She did finish a four year degree in only 7 years at five different colleges. She came out of nowhere and was the VP selection for the republican ticket. I'm still laughing over that one. I firmly support Sarah for the republican nomination in 2012. I'm also hoping Joe the Plumber is the VP nod that year. If they run and do win the election...I can only pray that the Mayans are right and that the world does end on December 21st, 2012. Having Sarah as our president would just be too humiliating. Obama being number one doesn't surprise me. Palin being number 2 (there's a joke in there somewhere) doesn't surprise me either.

She has accomplished a lot more in 43 years than most of the airheads that post here will dream of. Naive is a better adjective. And the vicious onslaught by the media against her and H C will not be soon forgotten by many of us. Clearly so, given these results. I take comfort in the hope, with this poll, that strong, confident women of conviction will continue to be recognized for their achievements in spite of the Neanderthals who resort to any deviant resolve to push them down. Congrats as well to the President-Elect. Although she did lack the experience to be catapulted into the VP/USA position, Palin is neither an airhead nor stupid.

Sarah Palin on the other hand demonstrated her lack of knowledge on subjects. As a politician you should always be ready to answer any questions that people ask. From domestic issues, foreign issues, sports, current affairs and so on. You should be a well rounded person especially this time because children are very smart and articulate.

At 12:00 there is a story saying that 3 out of 4 Americans are glad to see Bush go. Then 2 1/2 hrs later, he is the second most admired person in the world? How Bizarre.

He's a mixed-race child of a single mother. He basically started life at a disadvantage right there. Despite that, he rose to the top, graduating from Columbia, from Harvard, and was the first "black" editor of the Harvard Law Review. Do you know how challenging that was??? Then move on to the fact that he received the most votes ever cast for President of the United States, despite his relative inexperience and his mixed-race status, and the fact that a very large percentage of our country is racist. He emanates intelligence and pragmatism with every speech he gives and every decision he makes. He has the potential to be one of the best presidents we've ever had. He may turn out to be a dud, but at least with Obama, Biden and his supporting cast, we have a chance at turning this country around. Can you imagine McCain, Palin, Gramm, Rove, etc? We'd be royally scr*wed. Greg, please let me answer your question.

If either of you can read something other than the comics and the sports page, read "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama. You just might get some insight. By the way, Richard, Hussien means something very positive in arabic, so I am glad you are using his wonderful middle name. It sure is better than "Dick".
