Last week there were a couple Rasmussen Polls which seemed to show Governor Palin losing support among Republican voters. One showed her in third place behind Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney. Another showed her losing in head to head matchups with Huckabee and Romney. At the time I argued, justifiably, that hypothetical polls, even scientific polls, this far from an election, are unreliable at best. I still believe that to be the case. For example, in March 2007 Rudy Giuliani was beating John McCain by 21 points in the Rasmussen Poll for the 2008 GOP nomination, yet less that none year later McCain won.

If she runs she will sweep the GOP primaries. She will dominate any debates. She would then go on to beat Zero in a Reagan-like electoral landslide.
Anyone disputing this is either very naïve, disingenuous, or perhaps both.

I think the overwhelming success of her book, the recent announcement of the creation of her own political issues PAC, the huge crowds that will be turning out in Milwaukee and the College of the Ozarks (where she has upcoming events) and her principled stand in endorsing Hoffman, all will work in her favor. I have a feeling that she may just steamroll anyone who gets in her way, including 0bama.

I dont know who I will vote for next time around, but I can tell you it wont be Huckabee or Romney.
