Well, since you are somehow personaly offended about a benign comment I made about palin, I will say this to back up what I said. Harcore liberals, soft liberals, and RINO’s won’t vote for her, so that leaves true conservatives. The best guestimate is that there are 40% of all voting aged people to be conservative, so where do you plan on getting all these winning votes for palin? It ain’t happening and being offended by it and being snarky does not change the facts. No fortune telling needed.

Another uninformed, unprovable biased opinion posted by a PDS sufferer as fact.

Here are some facts for you to chew on, historical facts.

Harris Poll January 29, 1980:

CARTER NOW FAR AHEAD OF BOTH REAGAN AND BUSH

"President Carter so dominates the American political scene now that his margin over Ronald Reagan in a post-Iowa trial heat has risen to an overwhelming 65-31 percent."

Also, Time magazine ran a big story in March of that year basically saying Reagan was unelectable. Gallup had a poll in that time frame with Reagan down 25 points.

Here's another blast from the past, March 10, 1980. The GOP establishment had decided they needed another candidate besides Bush to stop Reagan and started recruiting Gerald Ford:

ABC News - Harris poll: FORD LEADS BOTH CARTER AND REAGAN, ALTHOUGH STILL UNDECLARED CANDIDATE

"Former President Gerald Ford is the first choice of Republican and independent voters to head the GOP ticket, even though he has not yet declared himself a candidate for the Republican nomination.

Ford also leads President Carter among the general electorate."

Here's another one for your collection:

Historic Whispers: Ronald Reagan Had Little Chance of Winning the Primary

White House political strategists have concluded—regretfully—that Ronald Reagan is fading and will have little chance of winning the Republican presidential nomination in 1980. Why the regrets? Because Carter's aides are convinced that the conservative, 68-year-old former California governor is an easy target. (April 2, 1979)

This so called “PDS Sufferer” had voted for Palin more times than you ever will. You are acting just like a frothing liberal yelling that someone must be a racist if they are against Obama. Just stop with your labels. I love Sarah Palin, but I also love my wife, who I know could never win the Miss America contest. This isn’t a war, I am not either for her or against her. She is the only true conservative out there right now so she is my ‘team’, but so is the KC Chiefs and I know they won’t make it to the super bowl.
