Who was it, remind me, who was ahead of the curve on this? Who was it who called on her to gently appeal to the legalization crowd weeks before she ended up dropping that mini-bombshell on Napolitano’s show about marijuana laws being overenforced?
C’mon. I have, like, three good ideas a year. Give a man some props.
Among Republicans who say they’ve smoked Marijuana:
Palin 25
Gingrich 22
Huckabee 17
Romney 17
Paul 8Among Republicans who say they have not smoked Marijuana:
Huckabee 24
Romney 23
Gingrich 21
Palin 21
Paul 3
The sample size was only, er, 83 people, but even so, I’m intrigued to see her so far ahead of Ron Paul, whom you might think would have this particular market cornered. Either her brand as a western libertarian-ish type is stronger than we realized or pot-smoking is so mainstream even among Republicans that there’s no “fringe effect” when polling this particular demographic. When you sample a group of conservatives who’ve smoked weed, you end up with … a group of conservatives, not the pilots of the next “rEVOLution” blimp or whatever. Exit question: Which formerly lefty issue will a majority of the right embrace first, marijuana legalization or gay marriage?
Uh...the only problem? most of the Presidential candidates are less than the kingmaker...if some are too afraid to wade in the water of controversy surrounding the Obama admin now then why should they be worthy of being the anointed one later...if they weren’t down there with the people in AZ or at the very least strongly voicing opposition to Obama’s ideas.. then why should the people follow them later on ?
It's a BS Smear from the Romney crowd.
Honestly, I doubt 1pct of the electorate even cares...and THAT's how out of touch the Rommey crowd is.
To quote PPP itself.
"Granted it's a sample size of just 83 and her lead is within the margin of error but it's still kind of amusing.
Hey Piss boy, STFU, every Palin post there finds the piss boy stroken his little piss toy.
LOL! Thanks.
Is this a “do you still beat your wife” type poll?
Well said !
cough cough PALIN cough cough
What a coincidence—this comes out within days of the interview with Judge Napolitano where Palin states she has a libertarian streak.
Surely this has nothing to do with anti-Palin activists running out of ideas.
Me too...My Gosh what on Earth kind of stupid poll is this.
Not really. She was just gum flapping.
I find it interesting that 49% (89 out of 181) of this sample group says they have smoked pot at some point. That to me is the bigger story, not that Palin is the over all winner in the poll when combined.
Palin 46
Gingrich 43
Huckabee 41
Romney 40
Paul 11
Among Green, Working Families Party, The New Party, Labor Party, Socialist Party USA, Communist Party USA, Socialist Labor Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, Progressive Labor Party, Communist
Socialist Equality Party, Trotskyist
Socialist Workers Party, Workers Party, Workers World Party, Falcon and UFO Party members, it’s Romney or bust!!
Well, dammit it all! You made me lose the pool on who would post this poll!
YOU let me down, pissant!
I guess the point of this poll is that libertarian leaning GOPers will favor Palin.
Or if you put it another way, Allahpundit ( who has never been a Palin fan ) wants to imply that people with loose morals tend to support Sarah Palin.
Haha. That Allahpundit is such a clever boy.
If CA makes pot legal, Palin takes CA in 2012! WOO-HOO!!!!!!
