Interesting poll.
How can a RINO be “too extreme” ??
Yup. Let the stoopid media pick the candidates, as ususal. What a bunch of bs.
At the end of the long title, I’d change it to “RINOs Say Palin Should Stay Out of The Race”.
Hey everyone, you can see “The Undefeated” starting today, on Dish Network and other providers. Saw it tonight. It was awesome.
interesting pairings...
Perry/Guiliani? Guiliani will be 75 in 2020, leaving the path for another....Perry/Christie?
Interesting...
If we let the media pick the Republican nominee every year where there isn’t a Republican incumbent, let’s see:
It would have been McCain in 2000. It would have been Giuliani in 2008.

Several comments on this thread of the article if anyone is interested.
I have been very critical of all polling and particularly Fox News for years. I am on record here long before I ever heard of Sarah Palin, critiquing Fox News polls as well as the rest.
Fox news has a terrible track record with their polling, whether it`s Opinion Dynamics out of Manchester NH or other pollsters they have used.
Nobody else has Gov Palin as low as 8%, it`s a total lie!
Fox News Opinion Dynamics last poll prior to the 2004 election, had Kerry up with a pretty good margin. CNN, NBC etc etc all trumpeted the Fox News Poll from the rooftops.
Turns out they polled on Halloween weekend while parents,Republicans/voters were either out tricker treating or preparing to.
Fox had the pollster on after the election looking sheepish. He said we thought the poll suspicious but released it anyway. He said in hind site was probably not a good idea to poll over Halloween.
They tried to throw the election to Kerry, as simple as that.
Brit Hume once said of their polling, it`s not done by a bunch of Republicans, he was not kidding.
“National Review: Palin Will Blast ‘Compromised Political Class’ in Iowa”
FOX News polls are usually crap for divining anything useful. Out of a random sample of 911 registered voters they were able to tell Perry is too extreme and Palin should stay out. I don’t buy it from these guys even if it is true. They have no track record for knowing anything.
I say, Run Sarah, Run!
So what that it's six months before the primaries.
So what that a poll 6 months before a primary can't be proven to be correct.
They will lead and we all should follow.
The more I hear about how Sarah Palin should “stay out”...the more I become convinced that America needs her...and that the RinoCracy fears her.
The RinoCracy has abused their trust...treated their employers, We the People with remarkable contempt.
20% U-6 unemployed We the People have the time, and certainly the inclination to start issuing pink slips.
When are you going to change your handle? I made the mistake once of mixing up your name with the legit Sarah Baracuda here.
Gov Palin is going to wipe the floor with Perry!
Maybe your name could be changed to Perrycuda or something along those lines? Actually having cuda on the end would still not be right.
Perrybot or something along those lines would be more appropriate.
I suppose at some point you supported Sarah, but it is clear you no longer do, so it just seems improper to go by that handle, JMHO
When Sarah enters the race, you are supporting Perry right? I rest my case, just is not proper!
Yes I hear you, it is not my site, you are right, just offering my opinion
I hope she runs.
“It ain’t over until its over.” Nov 6 2012 is over a year away, a lot more can happen. Not that concerned about these polls, especially when I see low scores for Palin. I feel there is energy there just waiting to explode. Palin = Fire, Perry = Blaaah.
Not sure why so many Freepers keep getting their panties in a bunch over weather She is In or Out. It’s early in the game, and if she jumps in, all the better for our side, and if she doesn’t then Perry can count on her endorsement if he is the nominee. Whay a key note speaker at his convention she would be. Or the other way around.
I think everyone needs to chill out. Where are the optimist in our Party today? I’m sick of the infighting between people who have their favorites, and are too eager to help the left wing media destroy the competition. We should be glad of the candidates we have and those that may still jump in.
Go back to last year at this time when it looked like the field was going to be the same names as 2008 minus Fred Thompson and McCain. The names popping up then were Huntsman, Huckabee, Romney, Rudy, and Ron Paul. The ones we were hoping for like Bobby Jindal and Haley Barbour among others, were stating they will not run. At the time It looked very dismal and the talk on FR was depressing. It was nothing but RINOs on the list, and those who had zero chance of a nomination.
Move forward one year and we could soon have a debate stage field with people like, Palin, Bachmann, Perry, and Cain, and one or two more good names that are still possibilities. That would be a dream come true, if you were to ask us a year ago.
I think Sarah Palin will run. However, I also think that she’ll lose the nomination, either to Rick Perry or to Mitt Romeny (if her potential voters split the conservative votes). I’m hoping it’s to Rick Perry. There are many people who like Palin, but some of these same people are also considering Perry as the safer choice between the two. Like it or not, Sarah Palin has perception issue, that is, most people have heard about her, but her negative ratings are quite high. That’s of course, the results of MSM’s constant beating. Still, such perception is already there. Now that Perry is running, many conservatives or conservative-leaning voters see a safer alternative on him.
Did they ask if anybody else should ‘stay out of the race’ or was the question only asked about Palin. This is so transparently a ‘push ‘poll’ designed to deter Palin from entering.
They didn’t ask me! Perry may just be the anti-Mitt flavor of the month.
Rick Perry is a talented polician with a mixed record. Let’s wait and see how he does in the debates and on the National scene.
