About LinkBacksVirtually Unelectable
Public Policy Polling has done 2012 presidential polls in seven states and finds a significant number of Republicans who would not vote for Sarah Palin if she were the GOP nominee.
"Republicans may hate Barack Obama but there look to be a pretty meaningful percentage of them who don't hate him enough to vote to put Sarah Palin in the White House. When you combine that with her complete lack of appeal to Democrats and independents she looks virtually unelectable for 2012."
Virtually Unelectable
*shiver* .... I don't even want to THINK about a possible President Palin.

Yeah, and I thought Bush was going to be an easy defeat in '04. Let's just say I'm preparing myself for President Palin so I'll be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't happen Originally Posted by Devil505

Call me a dreamer, but I'm still hoping people will wake up from their sensationalist stupor and nominate Ron Paul for the Republican nomination.
"While I am a great believer in the free competitive enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment. To this end, it is my belief that when pollution is found, it should be halted at the source, even if this requires stringent government action against important segments of our national economy."

Don't worry about it. She's too polarizing to even get the nomination much less a general election. Heck, even if she did win, we'd only have to suffer her for two and a half years. Originally Posted by jackalope
