Looks like Sarah's glass ceiling is still intact:

Evidence so far shows that Palin is not drawing a lot of support from voters outside the Republican base.

An ABC News poll released Friday found the selection of Palin makes people likelier to vote for McCain by just 6 percentage points - half the 12-point margin by which Sen. Joe Biden makes them more likely to support Obama.

And as for Clinton supporters, eight in 10 said they'd vote for Obama in November, according to a Gallup Poll conducted last weekend after McCain announced his selection of Palin.

But (there's always a "but"):

And what about all the issues on which Palin differs so sharply from Clinton? "Principle trumps issues for this group," [a Clinton supporter leaning toward Palin] says of her and others like her.

In that case, Obama should win hands down.

To Gloria Steinem, the nation's most recognizable feminist, that logic is mystifying. [...] "Palin shares nothing but a chromosome with Clinton."

Ohhh, nice one, Gloria.

[A] Florida voter who's shifted to Obama [will] work to convince fellow Clintonites that they shouldn't be swayed by the woman on the Republican ticket.
