The time for the US presidential election nears, and numerous polls are posted daily on Polls Boutique regarding the latest development in the presidential political race. This past week, the political polls centered on the latest development in the McCain campaign: the nomination of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as Vice President. Here’s a selection of Sarah Palin polls:

Officeshrew asks on August 29, right after the anouncement: “Sarah Palin - Good choice or bad?”

Grumpz expands on the point and asks: “Whose VP would you be most comfortable with as President?”

Gigi posts a video interview with Sarah Palin and polls to see what people thought of her answers.

Modelchaser mockingly asks whether Sarah Palin is a VPilf (and most people believe she is.)

Fiona chose to include Diddy’s video blog on her poll, and ask whether people agreed with Diddy (who’s an Obama supporter.)

Modelchaser found some old black and white photo and claims it was Sarah Palin naked. He asks whether we believe him.

Philgtaylor catches the news (on Sept. 2) that Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant, and wonders if that says anything about Satah Palin’s vocal support of abstinence education programs (poll here).

With Bristol Palin in the spotlight, Officeshrew quotes Obama who says candidates’ families are off-limits, especially their children. She asks whether Polls Boutique users can find it in themselves to leave Palin’s family out of the discussion.

Bmccue7 polls on Sarah Palin’s opinions: Pro-life, Stem-cell research ban, and Creationism.

Johnson asks whether Troopergate, a recent controversy in Alaska involving Gov. Palin, will hurt the Republican effort.

Politicass brings a political theory to the table predicting Sarah Palin will withdraw her VP nomination in order to clear the way for McCain’s real candidate.

The most recent Sarah Palin poll, posted today, includes a video of her RNC speech, and asks the voters to evaluate her public speaking ability.

We’re seriously considering starting a new program that will turn a few prolific Polls Boutique users into our editorial team. Those selected will be emailed with news stories (in topics they’re interested in) and will be invited to post relevant polls.

As a first step, we’re interested to know which of you will be interested in joining such a program. We posted a poll about it.

And then, there was the Polls Boutique blog.

It took us a while to post this blog. Too long, if I may say so. It’s not like we didn’t see the need to start one: blogs are such central pillars in today’s web development process. The truth is, we were so busy creating Polls Boutique, that we didn’t get around to doing it. And here we are, 9 months since we launched our Alpha, starting our own blog! Wooohoooo!

Polls Boutique is a tiny company. Seven people all in all, front to back. You can see almost all of us here (note the funny hats):

Our vision for Polls Boutique is to create a social destination that revolves around people’s opinions. A way to meet people who have the same (or the opposite) opinions as yours, a way to learn about your friends, make new friends and even discover your own opinions, through voting.

We also want to let people use our poll tool everywhere on the web: on blogs, social networks, websites, and message boards. And we want to let people be able to make poll any way they want: with full customization and the ability to embed any rich media (video, audio, links etc). More on that in the next post, where we’ll be discussing our new poll widget.
