Sarah Palin has so much star power she is eclipsing Barack Obama’s celebrity spotlight. Women want change, and Sarah is the majority’s voice. In new polls out today, 58% of voters view Palin favorably, which is up from 52% less than a week ago. Even more surprising this morning is the fact that Obama and John McCain are each viewed favorably by 57% of voters, but Palin is viewed favorably by 58%, which is better than both Presidential candidates. Joe Biden is viewed favorably by 48%.

Not surprisingly, fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans believe that most biased reporters are trying to hurt Palin’s campaign. Martin Luther King, Jr. said correctly, don’t judge a person by the color of their skin, or gender, but by the content of their character. Palin doesn’t have associations with criminals, America hating racists, or terrorists, but Obama does. Palin has family issues that are shared by most of America, and she’s managing those issues effectively, which is more than most of us can hope for.

The Palin Vice President pick has also improved perceptions of John McCain. A week ago, just before he introduced his running mate, just 42% of Republicans had a Very Favorable opinion of their party’s nominee. That figure jumped to 54% by this Friday morning. Among unaffiliated voters, favorable opinions of McCain have increased by eleven percentage points in a week-from 54% before the Palin announcement to 65% today.

It seems everyone, including Obama, are comparing Obama and Palin’s experience to be President, when she is only running as the Vice Presidential candidate, and he is running for the Presidential spot. It seems, McCain has risen above both as most qualified, and Palin has captured more attention from those in America who want her brand of change.

TEAM PALIN!!!

A note of clarification. Earlier in the week we ran a story about alleged pictures of Bristol Palin caught drinking underage. Readers in Alaska have helped us determine the girl in the pictures is in fact Sadie Johnston, Levi Johnston’s sister, and not Bristol Palin as we mistakenly reported.

Joe Biden has been picked by Barack Obama to run as his vice presidential running mate.

When Biden was running for president against Obama, Biden said he did not believe Obama had enough experience to be president. Biden when asked about his comment said he stands by his statement. If Obama gets elected, does that mean Biden will really be making all the policy decisions for Obama? Biden also said the country would be better off with John McCain. We can’t just say now that Biden didn’t mean what he said, because that would make Biden a liar.
