Why is it that they are still attacking her 24/7 almost three years after the 2008 election? Is anyone still going after Joe Liebermann, John Edwards or Jeraldine Ferraro? Why?
Because Joe Liebermann, John Edwards or Jeraldine Ferraro never developed high Unfavorable ratings while in politics. You can't use them against anybody.
Why are we still attacking Jimmy Carter when he left office 30 years ago? Why are Democrats still attacking Bush when he is constitutionally ineligible to run for President again?
Because it is one of the oldest political tactics in the books.
The tactic is to pick a politician that a large number of people think is or was unqualified and then associate him with everybody else in the opposing Party.
Like this:
Or this:
The Democrats want to paint Sarah Palin as the face of the Republican Party and all Republicans. So, they keep ridiculing her every blunder just as Dan Quayle was ridiculed and still is ridiculed 24 years after he left office.
"The Republican Party. The Party that gave us Dan Quayle! Ha-ha-ha!"
And look... there's Spiro Agnew! Now that's a blast from the past but, even after 37 years, people still associate Spiro with "Definitely Not Good".
How many voters do not think that Sarah Palin would make a good President?
According to the latest FOX News poll, 72% of all voters.
FOX News Poll (February 7-9, 2011)
Question 3: I am going to read you a list of names. Tell me if you think that person would make a good President or not.
Sarah Palin:
...............YES.........NO.......DK.....Never heard of
All .............23%.......72%.......4%.......1%
Dem ............7%.......87%........5%.......1%
Rep ...........40%.......56%.......3%.......1%
Ind ...........25%........69%.......3%.......1%
so those polled thought Palin would make a better president than:
Jeb Bush 21 39
Donald Trump 19 23
Chris Christie 18 29
Tim Pawlenty 13 21
Haley Barbour 11 16
Michele Bachmann 10 16
Rick Santorum 9 15
Mitch Daniels 8 13
John Thune 6 12
Jon Huntsman
and as good a president as Newt tied at 23%
since Huck isn't running that Means of ALL the candidates in the race those polled thought only Mitt would make a better POTUS than Palin.
so much for the unelectable argument. Since Palin will wipe the floor with Mitt in the primary. It looks like Palin is the best choice of those polled....
Also important to remember that Fox Opinion Dynamics has a terrible record.
The people that do the polling for Fox, OPINION DYNAMICS are partisan Democrats. When it comes to crunch time they can not help themselves, such as a terrible poll they released just prior to the 2004 election.
Poll was taken on a weekend that included Halloween, bad enough that they polled on a weekend, but that they polled on Halloween.
They had a sheepish Opinion Dynamics guy on after the election talking about that very poll, he said yes we were suspicious of it but we released it anyway.
These same people totally hate Sarah Palin! Now why do Fox allow these people to continue to poll for them? I have asked them this very question for years, they have no answer.
The pollsters are dishonest! Polling has lost it`s science because of this fact.
