There are some people posting incomplete turnout information in an effort to make a case for Palin. There isn’t one. While completely unfair, at this point Palin is just too divisive - too many women dislike her and the media has had too long to turn her into something of a joke outside of GOP circles.

Palin is not going to join some dopey 3rd party and she isn’t likely to run for President. Folks should really let that bit of silliness go right now. She is doing a good job as an analyst on Fox News, and I suspect that is what she will continue doing.

Well the idea is that this mythical “base” of millions of people that hasn’t voted in a Presidential election since 1988 because all of our candidates are RINOs (and lets be honest, GWB was a RINO to a lot of people) would turn out for Palin or a Palin-alike.

Even if that’s true, the likely effect would be to turn out 5% more Republicans in Mississippi or Texas, which would increase EV totals by....nada.

And you’d certainly lose more moderate votes than base votes you’d gain in places like Ohio and Virginia.

No they are not posting to make a case for Palin. They are posting to show the utter stupidity of the GOPe.
Obama, so far has received nearly 10 million fewer votes than 2008 Romney fell short of 2008 by nearly 2 1/2 million from what McCain received.The numbers are easily verifiable I don’t know where this poster came up with his percentage points but they don’t pass the smell test, sorry
