http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/07/10/america-to-sarah-palin-enough/?hpt=hp_t2(CNN) - A majority of voters say they've heard enough from Sarah Palin, according to a new national poll.
The NBC/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania survey indicates that 54% of voters say they've heard enough from Palin and would prefer that the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate be less outspoken in political discourse. That includes nearly two-thirds of Democrats, a majority of independents, and nearly four in 10 Republicans.
What other former politicians would voters like to keep quiet?
Fifty-one percent of those questioned said they've heard enough from former Democratic presidential candidate and civil rights leader Jesse Jackson. Forty-five percent said the same thing about former Vice President Dick Cheney, who's been a vocal critic of President Barack Obama.
The poll indicates that 43% said they've heard enough from former House speaker and 2012 GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, a co-host of CNN's "Crossfire," with four in 10 saying the same thing about former Vice President Al Gore, and 32% saying they've heard enough from Gore's old boss Bill Clinton.

and pay her to speak. Just saying.
Her pleading to be on The View is not undeceived by Barbara Walters - built in ratings especially if Rosie comes back and Whoopie is still there.

Also, she is a moron.

so she can sound smart dontcha know!
It probably took her a while because she reads the dictionary about as often as she reads all those newspapers Katie Couric asked her about
