Palin’s speech not well accepted by Clinton voters
I saw the results of an MSNBC text message poll this morning that asked what they thought of Palin after he speech. There were three options and they were something like:
1. Think better of Palin
2. Speech raised doubts about Palin
3. Speech raised doubts about Obama
About 70% responded with #2.
It was somewhat easy to dismiss that with the thought that MSNBC seems to be succeeding in drawing in liberals via the audience of Olbermann and soon Rachel Maddow. But in a story at the Huffington Post, two focus groups of former Clinton voters from Nevada finished the speech with a lower opinion of Palin after the speech than they had of her before.
I haven’t seen anything like this in the mainstream media reporting on her speech. By and large, she is reported to have received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
