Historically High Negative Polling for a Vice Presidential Candidate - (Sarah Palin)
Hi, Thanks for catching the POV wording error on my contribution! How should we rephrase this?
 * Here's the original:

"Palin has forged a whole new territory for negative polling for the Vice Presidential slot. According to a US national poll by Washington Post-ABC News on Octber 25 2008, 58% said she is insufficiently experienced to be US president."
 * — Revised Version —

"Palin forged new territory in a poll for a Vice Presidential candidate. The poll taken by Washington Post-ABC News on October 25 2008, 58% said she is too inexperienced to be a US president, an historic number." Better? See what you think. Feel free to reword if you think it is fixable. VictorC (talk) 09:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but neither of those versions is acceptable. The source article now asks readers to register with the web site, but when I was able to access it before I noted that the whole "forged a whole new territory" and "historic" thing didn't appear in the article. Any wording like that would be original commentary which, especially in a biography article, is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. »S0CO ( talk 00:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I have to agree. I heard about this poll on TV, and that's how it was described by one of the announcers. You are correct, the poll says nothing about historical context, and the article cites no comparisons to prior vice presidential candidates. Additionally there are no citations (that I have found) to corroborate that assessment. Thanks for saving me from a big screw up! Good Wikipedigation on your part.
