WASHINGTON — President Obama is the man Americans admired most in 2009, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, while Secretary of State Hillary RodhamClinton and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are virtually tied as the most-admired woman.
The close finish by Clinton, named by 16% in the open-ended survey, and Palin, named by 15%, reflects the nation's partisan divide. Clinton was cited by nearly 3 in 10 Democrats but only 6% of Republicans, Palin by a third of Republicans but less than 1% of Democrats.
Obama dominates the field among men at 30%, though his support also shows a partisan split. He was named by more than half of Democrats but just 7% of Republicans.
What were those 7% of Pubs smoking when they took this poll?

Go Hillary and Sarah!
I don't know but I don't want it lol
I am so happy and damn straight go Sarah and Hillary I don't see a match up but those two women deserve it.
Hillary and Sarah talk about the ultimate victory over the media that spent years in Hillary's case and Sarah since John McCain announced her as VP. Yet nothing stops these two women. The American people have spoken media you best to heed what we say because without us you will not have jobs.
I voted, campaigned, worked overtime to earn $$ to donate to Hillary, and without a doubt in my mind it was STOLEN from her!
If its Sarah vs Hillary in 2012, I would support Sarah, even as a pro-choice voter, I have realised I am a pro-choice conservative(not social) Independent.
But I would be 10000% rooting for them both, and 100000% defend them both against any freaking sexism and mysogeny!
Its doubtful Sarah would ever get my vote unless she picks up some experience. She did not serve as Governor long enough to get my vote at this time so in a Hillary/Sarah matchup it of course will be Hillary. Sarah/Obama I stay home UNLESS she runs for some sort of office.
Two years as Governor does not make a President. However, I would defend Sarah from any kind of sexism.

I would also pick Hillary in a Hillary/Sarah matchup, mainly because of the experience issue but also because my beliefs are more in line with Hillary's. Ideally, it would be great to have Hillary as POTUS and Sarah as veep, but that's not gonna happen. They're too far apart on too many issues.

Likewise. The experience issue is quite significant and not something Sarah Palin can overcome given her current status. I would recommend that Palin run for a Senate term first.
