Does Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin have that elusive “Teflon” quality?
The two most successful politicians in recent political history — former presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton — had one very important thing in common: negative stories rarely stuck to them.
This so-called “Teflon” quality allowed both men to weather political storms that would have destroyed most politicians and to emerge at the end of their political lives beloved by large swaths of the American public.
In the three weeks since Sarah Palin was introduced by John McCain as his vice presidential running mate, the little-known Alaska governor’s ability to remain popular with voters even while being pilloried in the press over a series of missteps large and small has baffled and mystified Democratic strategists who have wondered privately whether she has that Teflon quality all politicians covet.
A series of national polls conducted since the Palin pick in late August have revealed sterling favorabilty ratings that have — by and large — held up through her public vetting.
Go Sarah Go!!!
