Just for the record

John Dickerson: "[Sarah] Palin ... has hurdles on the question of fitness for office. Some 67 percent of the country does not think she is qualified to be president, according to a Washington Post poll from last year. Seventy percent of independent voters hold that view. Even among Republicans, 46 percent hold that view. Those findings are consistent with a Gallup poll from a year ago." Those numbers are not likely to change between now and Election Day 2012 -- except, perhaps, get worst.
