That's all a matter of opinion. Saying that she is "totally undeserving" is a bit much. She's run a city. She's run a state. She does have more executive experience than the other 3 guys combined. She may not have a 20+ year history in Washington, but she is an experienced, proven politician.

Can't you see that's EXACTLY why she's popular with certain segments of the public...because she is "totally undesrving" - people love a come-from-nowhere story. They generally do not like long serving politicians like John McCain and Joe Biden. This is the year of the new comer - either Obama or Palin. They are the story. McCain and Biden are on the sidelines. Why can't most of you understand that?????
