A new CNN poll says that seven in 10 Americans including 47 percent of Republicans, believe Sarah Palin is not qualified to be president.
I think she knows she will never get close to the presidency, but unless she lands a lucrative alternative job - say, a three-year contract from Fox News - she's not going to say “I won't be a candidate” because she won't want to diminish her small, loyal band of rabid followers who will donate money to an alleged presidential campaign, buy her books and pay to hear her speak.
