In these sort of polls, it’s the trends that matter. We’ve watched these straw polls for a year now, and the one take-away is Sarah Palin wins these more often than not, and has a solid base of support that never wavers. We see other candidates get hot and then come crashing down. Sarah Palin stays strong and steady. Her support is real and stable.

52.4%? Holy flippin’ crap!

[meadsjn]

I wish you people would quit joking about Perry and Romney, our 10th and 12th place frontrunners. It is embarrassing.

Well, well. The top two were exactly what I voted for in that poll:

1. Sarah Palin

2. Herman Cain

I’m glad to see that many others agree.

Diogenesis, nice to see you as a Palin friendly.

Erickson must have pooped his pants when he saw those results. He is a such a jerk, an arrogant ass. Never liked the guy and he never liked Sarah Palin so who gives a flip what that idiot thinks of her

[federal__reserve]

How were the votes recorded?

1. Internet
2. Paper ballots
3. Phone calls
4. Electronic voting machines

If it was Internet, it is easy to pile on votes. Paul supporters are experts at this, we can Freep polls, the
DUmmies can DU any internet poll. It is even very easy to
vote multiple times from the same computer. In this category
Sarah can wait it out for months to jump in.
If it was paper ballots, Sarah can jump in now.
If it was phone calls, Sarah can jump in within a month.
If it was electronic machines, who was the vendor?

ROTFL.

Thank you for saving me a whole lot of typing.

Why do you keep posting that? It’s rather offensive, why would you want to insult freepers who are understandably impatient for a Palin announcement? It advances nothing to compare her advocates to whining toddlers.

I post it because it's true. The fact that it offends you proves it's true.

The only way Sarah Palin can snatch the nomination from the GOP ruling class is to not play by their rules.

You want her to play by their rules so she goes away.

She's playing chess. You're playing fifty-two pickup. And you're still losing.

Ruling class, chess, 52-pickup...You sound positively delusional, but, ok! :)

I've noticed this too, and have brought it up often when debating with her detractors. And that's not the only unofficial measure of her support. There are loads of others, and they all point to the fact that Palin has deeper, wider support for her presidential run, than any other candidate, declared or otherwise.

I'm not into serving up crow pie, but after she declares and shoots to the top of the heap, the tone among some around here is going to change dramatically.

BUMP. You guys are right.

[BfloGuy]

Sarah won the poll in my local Penny Saver, too!

And Fox refused to cover it!

She's gonna win! For sure!

Folks, this stuff is pitiful.

Cain and Palin are in many ways cut from the same cloth. Both have the heart and soul of true God fearing America loving Patriots. And both have unquestionable Conservative credentials. And I would be delighted to vote for either. As for them competing against each other for the #1 position, I look at that as being a dream come true. No matter who wins a conservative does not have to say I’ll hold my nose and vote.

[SamAdams76]

52.4% of the vote and she's not even "officially" a candidate yet!

This is very impressive and a real kick in the groin to those who would write Palin off. BTW, love the oil painting image, would like to get that framed and hanging on the wall in my den.

[prisoner6]

Not directed at you personally...

Here is what is pitiful.

Let's say Sarah doesn't get into the primary race. In fact let's say whomever you are supporting - besides Cain - wins the nomination.

Let's say it comes down to Obama vs Romney.

I and many like me will sit out the presidential race and focus on local and regional elections.

No more RINOS. Deal with it.

OTOH if Sarah gets in at the VERY last minute will you NOT vote for her because she waited, "too long?"
