“If you are moderates or centrists who despise Sarah Palin...”
I’m tired of hearing the notion of a lot of Palin haters. I don’t believe it. The media puts that into their discussions of Palin.
Wonder why Palin is surging in Iowa. Are there other states where she’s surging? I wouldn’t be surprised if there were.
I don’t know, they could vote for Barack Hussein Obama or Barry Soetero, or that Steve Dunham guy. They do have choices. LOL
Perhaps I should added the word “elitists” but I did not because there a many pro-choicers or Republicans who favor gay marriage or those who favor gun control who hold Sarah Palin in contempt
I’m sorry if I have offended your sensibilities but polls do show this and that there is NO way they want Palin as the nominee.
And these folks are not dummies. Polls have consistently shown many of these folks are highly educated or high income earners. And they understand vote splitting.
As I mentioned many of these folks given different circumstances in the poll might be compelled to support other candidates like Huntsman or Pawlenty but they now see the lay of the land and realize the simple truth that either Romney or Palin will be the GOP nominee next year. In turn they have made the decision to support Romney to stop Palin. Have you noticed how much Romney has surged in the polls recently and how Pawlenty has plummeted?
Thank you. I don’t have any issues with Sarah Palin and would happily vote for her IF she wins the nomination. I may even end up voting for her in the primary but I won’t accept any anointed candidate. Its that simple.
The people clinging to the dumbass Rollins comment need to get over it and concentrate on loading the field with conservatives. Its the only way we’re going to overcome the RINO brigade which is growing daily.
Last year one of the candidates for my district’s primary race had the backing of both Palin and Romney. I disagreed with Palin but understood her reasons and didn’t use it to connect her to Romney.
I am not averse to supporting Palin IF she gets in the race AND IF she proves to be the only conservative that can deny Mitt the nomination.
I support Cain, but his performance last night was lukewarm. I thought Bachmann did well but it’s not untrue that Mitt did himself no damage.
RON PAUL/s

PALIN RISES 52% ACROSS 7 MAJOR POLLS—THE TRENDING GRAPH MEDIA KEEPS HIDDEN
In 2008, the stalking horse was supposedly Fred Thompson, holding off the voters until McCain could put his campaign back together — in other words, the “candidate” everybody wanted but who hadn’t actually joined the race.
Thompson finally joined in September, just as some people claim Palin is waiting until September.
Thompson was a strong second in polls, just as Palin is a strong second in polls.
Thompson didn’t pan out once he joined the campaign. We ended up with John McCain.
Conservatives also imho have to realize that Palin performs an incredible service for our side. The media hates Sarah so much that they are now promoting Bachmann. So we have the media praising a tea party candidate, that’s great!
That's how McCain sneaked in at the last moment last time. I thought the Rep. party had some rule changes to fix it?
I wish Ron Paul would wise up and realize that he can be a kingmaker but he won’t be king.
Thompson was a strong second in polls, just as Palin is a strong second in polls.

Hmmm, the analogy is good, except, I think Governor Palin has just a little more energy then Fred Thompson.
The key difference between Thompson and Palin:
Thompson: stalking-horse
Palin: major player
Thompson blocked for Mccain in SC (got 15% of the vote) and allowed McCain to edge Huckabee out although Huck got 43% of the evangelical vote.
This time Bachmann is the stalking-horse and she is blocking for Romney by attempting to bleed conservative votes away from Palin.
Thus the analogy is NOT comparable. Palin is running neck and neck with Romney and she has not declared yet; Thompson was never challenging Rudy for first place either before he declared or after he threw his hat into the ring.
Michele cannot, and will not get the nomination. She cannot raise the money needed to beat Romney, and assuming that she somehow can win the nomination she cannot raise the money needed to be Obama. I don’t know why Freepers won’t flow chart this whole scenario for a few minutes.
Is that true? The way I remember it Hillary and Baraq fought to the bitter end. Indiana has a very late primary and they were both here campaigning and running zillions of commercials.
I don’t think hardly any Dems crossed over in 2008.
Yep.
It is possible that third party will go by the name "GOP" and will be spending all of their hundreds of dollars in donations on their nominee Mitwitt.
.
Anybody can beat Obama. I intend to vote for the person I wish to vote for. You do whatever you want.
We could look at who has high negatives if you want to, eh?
Simple premise:
If Palin does not run, welcome to Romneyland.
If Palin does run, do anyone really believe she will sink in the polls?
Why is the MSM absolutely terrified of Palin. They know the truth.
Omg... When Palin announces this race begins. I would admonish you to wait for that, and then you will realize why Michele had to use a gimmick like making the debate her platform for entering the race. Palin will announce in the midst of thousands, Michele couldn’t muster a platoon. I love Michele, I am just speaking the plain truth.
If you live in Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina, you might somehow make a difference with your vote. It will more than likely be over by then, so vote early and often.
