When Did Sarah Palin declare her candidacy for POTUS?
That's because she isn't a candidate. At some point, she may decide to run, but so far, she hasn't.
I just pray to God Palin runs...
I have no idea the real reason that Rasmussen left Sarah out of the poll but I get annoyed when they include non-declared candidates in these polls anyway. I don’t believe that it is helpful to include any non-declared candidates in these polls. It really ticks me off when they include Wrong Paul in any polls.
I wouldn’t take it personally w/o more info to go on vis a vis Rasmussens’ feelings towards Palin.
No, no, we must have Romney or Pawlenty or Huntsman or Christie or Pataki or Jeb Bush or Perry or Rubio or some other RINO no one has ever heard of yet...
“Do you really believe Romney will be able to maximize the turnout of WHITE CONSERVATIVES especially in Southern states?”
Not as much as a conservative. But it would still be better than McCain did and I believe the reason is that the election is going to be a referendum on Obama; the GOP candidate isn’t going to matter (as much) as he or she would have in another year.
There is no chance whatsoever that any candidate in the second-tier will be able to beat both Romney and Palin in the same election cycle.”
Almost true.
Perry could win the nomination.
Bottom line, the GOP nominee will be: Romney, Palin or Perry.
(The weird thing is that as of TODAY, neither Palin nor Perry are running....that only means as of TODAY....I am confident that one or the other will run, and likely win the nomination....but as of TODAY....well)

Please excuse me now while I go throw up.
The conspiracies on Sarah Palin are getting old. If she wants to get into the race, she should get in. Nobody is stopping her.
Because of how the Electoral College Math is set up for 2012, just about any of the GOP hopefuls has a good shot at winning (including Palin). No “McCain” states are going to be in serious jeopardy (though MO would be close) and the Democrats are almost certain to abandon IN and NC once it becomes obvious those states are unwinable and to spend money elsewhere. VA should return red, and I thought Allen running for his old seat would give a boost to the nominee, but maybe not as much as I thought. I’ve already covered the voting demographics from FL and how while some might think it ironic, is actually a pretty easy states for the conservative nominee to hold (especially since our convention is in Tampa).
That leaves OH and one other state. OH is going to be very tough. It’s possible (though very difficult) for the nominee to win the election and lose OH (they could take IA, NV, CO, and NM), but CO will be just as tough, if not the “ground zero” state for 2012.
If this is a 3 horse race, Obama wins easily....I love Sarah but do NOT want to see Perot pt2....we MUST vote out the only President in History to openly hate this country.
The next election can’t come soon enough! Like Ronaldus Magnus, Sarah Palin is the best prospective Republican candidate to inspire & energize the country. I work my precinct during every election cycle and I can tell you no white folks will be staying home on Election Day!
When did Marco Rubio join the ranks of the RINOs?
Amnesty
Thanks techno! This is a most awesome post!
Palin 2012
same here. When I see and hear this fool speak all I can think is, "this idiot is totally delusional."
We need someone with a Warrior mindset, not someone with a technocrat's mindset. This guy and most of the RINOs running are very weak men who deserve only our contempt. They deserve our utter contempt because they want to be seen as "civil" while the left continues destroying our Republic.
The institutions the evil left have infested for the past 70 years need to be cleansed of the evil anti-capitalist, anti-individual indoctrination. The only way our Republic can be saved is if the left is politically destroyed.
Can anyone honestly see Huntsman, Romney, or Palwenty leading such an undertaking?
“No, no, we must have Romney or Pawlenty or Huntsman or Christie or Pataki or Jeb Bush or Perry or Rubio or some other RINO no one has ever heard of yet...”
ROFL! Yeah, if we want to lose to BO big time. It’s Sarah for the win!
Well, Sarah hasn’t declared YET...........but she is still the only choice. Willard? Huntsman? Newt? NO WAY. Don’t even bother!
Right. Rasumssen did the only logical thing he could do, otherwise where do you end with potential candidates? If she runs, he’ll do another poll and we’ll see how it differs.
To me, Huntsman epitomizes the emasculated, cocktail circuit Republican. The type of spineless weasels we had all over the GOP in the 70’s and 80’s like Bob Michel and Nelson Rockefeller. They can all go to hell. There is a Conservative ascendancy in this country now and we have no time for professional losers.
