Interesting poll by Rasmussen:
Over half of U.S. voters (51%) think reporters are trying to hurt Sarah Palin with their news coverage, and 24% say those stories make them more likely to vote for Republican presidential candidate John McCain in November.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) also believe the GOP vice presidential nominee has better experience to be president of the United States than Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
But 49% give Obama the edge on experience, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken before Palin's historic speech Wednesday night to the Republican National Convention.

I think a lot of this is because she was so poorly vetted by McCain. She's an unknown quantity. So the media is frantically digging into everything. Like the time she tried to fire the town librarian, because she didn't support Palin's wishes to ban books. Crazy shit.
