		<description><![CDATA[Rasmussen&#8217;s first Palin poll suggests that while many Americans still need more information to make a judgment, she&#8217;s already made a superior impression to Biden on the day of his selection by Obama. Of enormous significance is the finding that &#8230; <a href="http://asecondhandconjecture.com/index.php/2008/08/30/palin-poll/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
