Huckabee is the enemy, he’s to the left of Obama on fiscal and nanny state issues. Social Conservatives can’t win on their own.

Palin - Could have rebuilt her image, but then she quit forever ruining her chances. Independents will never support her.

How about no more 2008 retreads,
Maybe Mitch Daniels maybe Paul Ryan.

Poor sport, and GOP inner-enemy, Romney deserves the loyalty he gave Gov. Palin -- NONE.

If the GOP picks the backstabber, and poor sport, Mitt RomneyCARE
after his attacks on Gov. Palin (through Team Romney) to throw the Election
to Obama, then the GOP simply does not deserve to survive.

Romney - For When the GOP Really, Really Must Lose

RESULTS – Feb. 2010 Early Freerepublic.com straw vote FOR GOP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION
Governor Palin was the overwhelming choice of freepers who voted!

Palin - 102 votes - THE WINNER

Demint - 7 votes
Pence - 3 votes

Jeb Bush - 2 votes
Liz Cheney - 2 votes

Palin simply doesn’t have leadership qualities. Infact, she has shown the exact opposite.

Her lack of ability to soak up knowledge is quite troubling as well.

No Palin, No Romney, No Huck..

No sitting President of the United States in the 60 year history of the Gallup poll has failed to be re-elected going into the fall campaign if his job approval number was above 51% and no president with below 47% has been re-elected.”

0bama would lose if the elections were held today, but hey, we have another 3 years to go.
However, given that 0bama is a hard line, left wing radical and a Marxist ideologue, who is still trying to force through a highly unpopular 0bamacare bill, even after heavy Democratic losses in NJ, VA and MA, its pretty safe to say that his poll numbers will be lower than 47% in 2012.
0bama is a one termer.

Rasmussen:
“Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.”

CNN:
“CNN poll: 52% say Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012
52 percent of Americans said President Barack Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012, according to a new poll.

44 percent of all Americans said they would vote to reelect the president in two and a half years, less than the slight majority who said they would prefer to elect someone else.

Obama faces a 44-52 deficit among both all Americans and registered voters, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Tuesday. Four percent had no opinion.”

It certainly helps that she was a mayor and a governor.

However, quitting her job as governor before the end of her first term was a fatal mistake if she had any presidential ambitions. She should have remained governor and gotten reelected, if she wanted to be president.

She’s no longer a serious presidential contender.

I’m not sure she was ever fit to be president regardless. Sure she’s more fit than Hussein was when he was running, but if that’s the baseline of qualifications we are to hold as a standard from now on, we’re finished as a nation.

I know I’ll catch hell from many on here for saying so. Her supporters tend to be as fanatical as Hussein’s most die hard followers.

With a clown like obama IN OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, There should be NO QUESTION of Sarah Palin’s ‘qualifications’. She’ll be just fine. Probably much much better than the idiots that people see as ‘qualified’. -Corrupted Washington insiders.

Could be. But Bush was pretty much in that neighborhood in 2004. Voters have been known to give spikes of approval to Presidents at re-election time and then go on hating them as before (Truman, Nixon, Bush).

Palin's more qualified in terms of experience than Obama was when he took office. It's temperament that's the problem. As bad as Obama is, the media and enough voters were able to overlook or not see his faults to get him elected. Palin will face a lot more scrutiny if she runs. She may not be able to overcome that.

Hell. What were Ubama's qualifications? 155 days in the Senate?

And most of those days he just showed up to vote "present".

And I am not only talking here to Palinistas which I am one but to everyone on our side ...

I just have an objection to one term used in your article.

'Palinistas' comes across as a derogatory term. By attaching the Spanish suffix “ista” to the name it changes the name from English to Spanish.  We don't say, 'Reaganistas,' or 'comunistas,' or 'facistas,' do we?  It evokes words like 'Sandinistas,' the leftists in Nicaragua.

It should say 'Palin supporters' or 'Palin followers' or 'Palinists', but 'Palinistas' would be a better fit if she was a political figure in in Spain, South America, or Central America.
