Reuters/Ipsos Poll: Obama holds big 2012 lead over Republicans (Palin Leads GOP)
reuters ^ | June 08 2011 | John Whitesides

She’s up 22-20 on Romney according to Reuters/Ipsos. Paul and Cain are tied for third at 7%. Today’s Quinnipiac poll appears to be a pretty major outlier when you consider that the Governor and Romney have been within four of each other in every other credible poll.

I think it was hyperbole—which I suppose could be called a gimmick—but which serves to make a point, like sarcasm.

I hate that particular picture of Palin, it’s seriously the ONLY picture I have ever seen of her I don’t care for.

Rich Santorum is who I’m behind. He is articulate, he has lead before on issues within Gov’t, he has passion and he would match up extremely well Vs Obama on the National level.

There is NO one who will take black votes from BO. NO ONE. Not even Herman Cain. Blacks are owned by BO. He is their slave master and no one will change that.

I agree with you on Cain but the write Palin’s name in; even if she does not run; or stay home and don’t vote if she doesn’t run bots; will find something wrong with everybody but Palin. So don’t waste your breathe. I only hope this is a very small percentage in mindset.

Listen is she runs... she still has to WIN the nomination! No one is going to just hand her the Republican nomination.

SO....

IF she decides to run... one of two things will happen...

1. During the debates she will prove herself to be unfit and incompetent... in which case she will not get the nomination.

2. During the debates she will prove herself to be fit and competent... in which case she will get the nomination, and proceed to destroy Obama.

There is no scenario where Palin performs poorly in the primary debates and still gets the nomination. For better or worse she has to overcome the preconceptions about her or she will not win the primary.

If this weak poll were anybody else it would have been pinged off breaking news by now. Why don’t you save the breaking news for when it does happen?

“I like Sarah a lot, but to deny that the MSM has successfully demonized her is crazy talk.”

Nonsense. That’s why she’s leading today’s poll of Republicans, draws thousands of people wherever she appears, controls the dialogue with every tweet she makes, and has the media running around after her like Bill Clinton chasing interns.

And all THIS is before she announces, much less gets to make her case to the American people directly via television ads and debates.

Cain may be a good man, but his speeches tend to run to emulating a good time rock and roller, relapsing into rap.

When he said the 2012 race was his to lose, IMO, his ego far out weighs his actual standing.

There is another elephant in the living room. The way Obama is screwing up the country, by election time, he will have ruined any chance of another Black president for decades.

And it really doesn’t matter. Ocaca wasn’t elected by blacks. He was elected by IDIOT WHITE PEOPLE.

Knocking Palin will not elevate Cain. Please try again.

Exactly. Pay no attention to the Cain bashing because he is black he can’t win. I like Palin but the Palin worship is cultish round here.

A poll of potential candidates, many of whom aren't even running yet, posted on a blog is not Breaking News. It's not Front Page News. In fact, it's not News. It belongs in Bloggers.

That is all. Thank you.
