Should Palin Run? Powerful (Ruling-Class) Republicans In Iowa, Elsewhere, Say No, No, No
AnkenyPatch.com ^ | August 31, 2011

As Palin remains unannounced about whether she will run, powerful GOP members outside the beltway say they don't want her in the race.

The theatrics and confusion over Sarah Palin's upcoming schedule probably won't help her standing with Republican activists in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, who already overwhelmingly prefer that she not run for president in 2012, according to a survey conducted this past week by The Huffington Post and Patch in the early primary and caucus states.

Palin had previously announced plans to appear at a Tea Party rally in Indianola, Iowa, on Saturday, but that has been put "on hold," according to organizers. Separately, Palin announced new plans to speak to another Tea Party rally in New Hampshire on Labor Day.

Iowa's Tea Party of America announced later today that Palin had reconfirmed and will be in Indianola on Saturday.

Last week, our HuffPost-Patch Power Outsiders poll of influential Republicans in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina found two thirds satisfied with the current crop of candidates and only 8 percent offering Palin when asked who else they would like to see run in a follow-up question.

Power Outsiders is a Patch-Huffington Post project that surveys influential Republicans in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshir

He isn’t posting right now. But a look at his posting history says that he simply throws “verbal bombs”. I couldn’t find a single post where he linked to any info.

You know what I’ve noticed? All the PDSers have are insults. No facts. Just half truths and insults. Oh and Alinsky tactics.

Probably to remind him that you and Squid are trolls. ...but he already knows that.
