ABC Poll: Biden has stronger favorables than Palin & is seen as more experienced

[King]

I saw the poll this morning.  It's interesting stuff, but major network polls can't be trusted.

With all the resources they have, if I were the President of NBC/CBS/ABC, I'd try to purchase a small, but respectable polling firm with good methodology like Rasmussen or SurveyUSA and put serious money into it during an election year.  Could you imagine the ratings boost an evening news broadcast would get if the CBS-Rasmussen polling division were to release a 50 state weekly tracking poll every Monday?

For president, change counts. For VP, experience. And why not the opposite ? the opposite is better. I prefer an experimented president with a young VP.

Actually, if you look historically, the Change/Experience ticket is much more traditional -- believe it or not.

LIES!!!

except for

Kennedy-Johnson
Reagan-Bush
Lincoln-Johnson


In fact, experience - change has produced some stinkers... Kerry - Edwards and Mondale - Ferraro come to mind.

It depends on what you define as Change and Experience.  By my definition, Carter-Mondale, Clinton-Gore, and Bush-Cheney were all of the "change-experience" design as well.

Also, "experience-change" is a completely different story from "change-experience."
