SARAH PALIN'S PING LIST
The surprised fall in the Zogby polls this week is Newt Gingrich. He has flamed out quickly and fallen to the bottom of the pack with 3% among likely Republican primary voters. That’s down more than 50% from his last poll showing. Pollster John Zogby has indicated in discussion about the poll that it would be nearly impossible for Newt Gingrich to make a comeback. Gingrich was tied with Rick Santorum at 3%, and ahead of only Fred Karger, John Huntsman Jr., and Gary Johnson. Gingrich also had the highest unfavorable number with 17% of Republicans saying they would never vote for Newt.
This assessment seems more realistic considering the disaster this toad is having just starting the campaign.
I believe Goldberg.
Does not include Ron Paul in the poll.
Wow.
Interesting because the CNN poll of NH had Ron Paul in 2nd place at 9%.
Some recent polls have had Palin in single digits, which does not seem at all right to me. 16% is a more reasonable number for someone who is not currently running. Romney’s numbers seem ok. Gingrich’s numbers have fallen. Ron Paul wasn’t included, no one else is that well known.
It’s facinating because intrade numbers have pawlenty at 23%
and huntsman at 17%. Palin is 8% Gingrich, Paul, Giuliani are all around 2%
You could get one Palin, one Cain, one Bachmann, one Gingrich, one Paul, one Giuliani, one Huckabee, for the cost of one Pawlenty. Which is saying that the market believes that it is as likely that Pawlenty will be the Republican nominee as any of the 7 others will be the nominee.
Romney will lose running against Zero....
That makes him LESS THAN ZERO...
What you have to remember is that Dick Morris:
1)Never wanted to show the world that Sarah Palin is a player
2)Wanted to show Bachmann surging
3)Wanted to show Romney in the lead
4)Wanted to show Newt holding his own
2 out 4 isn’t bad.
IF Romney gets the nomination, he will NOT receive my vote in the general election - period. I cast my last vote for a Republican just because they are not a Democrat (That was cast for John The Jerk McCain). I’m tired of holding my nose to vote. Won’t do that any more. A Republican candidate doesn’t have to be “perfect” for me to vote for him/her - but a Socialist wearing a Republican name tag will not get my vote.
Any poll dancer worth his salt would say the surprising thing of the poll is Palin being basically in the margin w/o being in the race. That is astonishing as hard as Mitt is running.
Pray for Israel
I don’t think Dick Morris knows what he’s talking about.
I’m interested in knowing who he polled because I don’t think many rank and file Republicans will vote for Romney. Nice try Morris.
I know many conservatives who believe Palin can’t win and are desperate for another conservative. But more than their fear of Palin is their disgust with Romney. They know that Romney is the media and GOP establishment candidate. And they know he cannot defeat Obama. In the end I believe these Anti-Palin conservatives will support Palin to stop Romney. As one said to me, “Hell, I’d rather lose with a true conservative like Palin than a wishy washy RINO like Romney!!”
Plus, her oft mentioned position that she is waiting to see what develops in the GOP before making a decision. What better plan than to enter the race NOT AS A SPOILER BUT AS A SAVIOR !!
And therein may lie the GREAT PALIN STRATEGY FOR 2012
