As Winky Rides Into The Sunset. . .


A new ABC News/Washington Post poll indicates that a majority of Americans have an unfavorable view of soon-to-be-former Alaska Gov. Winky You Betcha, with a wide majority doubting that she has leadership skills and policy knowledge for higher office. According to the poll, fifty-three percent view Winky unfavorably, 57 percent say that she does not grasp complex issues, and 54 percent say she is not a strong leader.

Given her antics during and since the campaign, and her weird resignation in the middle of her undistinguished term as Governor, we're frankly surprised the negative figures haven't gone much higher.
