Palin is stuck on "me"

..............................
Why America is growing tired of Palin

By Gloria Borger, CNN Senior Political Analyst
January 20, 2011 


Washington (CNN) -- OK, you've got Palin fatigue. Not to worry. So does much of the country: The latest CNN poll shows that 56 percent of Americans view her unfavorably.

More damaging, though, is this: Sarah Palin's unfavorable rating among women has gone up 10 points. And 59 percent of those all-important independent voters don't like her -- and that's up a stunning 14 points in just a few months.

You might argue it's because of the debate surrounding the Tucson shootings -- specifically, Palin's tone-deaf response to the unfair charges that she was somehow responsible for a deranged shooter's state of mind. And that could well be part of it. But there's more: She's completely overstayed her welcome.

We've watched her morph from the hockey mom into a multi-media extravaganza that knocks on our door every day to sell something, without any invitation.

... Palin, alas, is still stuck on the "me" part.

I'm still hoping for a Palin/Bachman ticket in 2012. The Republican loss would be of McGovernesque proportions.
