Obviously there is no logical reason for her unfavorables in the polls to be what they are. Did she do anything like let an intern give her oral sex or get involved in some disasterous scandal ? absolutely not. There is NOTHING on her. They have looked and looked and looked. Nobody has found a thing. She seems to be the kind of leader that the American people are wanting to represent them.
They do. I contend to you that her unfavoribles mean NOTHING. It is useless polling data and should have no impact on who wins the nomination in 2012. If she gets the nomination, she would win electoral votes based on national and global events (the economy, ect)
I believe the number of Americans who hate her with a passion is very very small. The unfavoribles you see in the polls are a result of some very shallow group think left over from the 2012. Nobody has seen Saraj Palin run her own national campaign. It would not take much at all to turn those numbers inside out.
What we see here is that the anti palin people in this country are just very loud. Conservatives hear them and for some reason think the high volume of their voice mean they have huge numbers. Even some here on FR get their information from people who hate them and then they are ignorant enough to toss it around like it is fact !
no i used obviously because almost everyone here already agrees
She was serious before she was picked to be VP. I think that’s why we were so excited when she was picked because we knew her story. Then something got to her.
She will go the way of Huckabee.

Time-travelling group think?
I meant to say 2008 ..sorry
She has already, IMO. All she is missing is her own TV show. Oh ... wait...
It would be nice for the conservative base if she would just say she isn't running in 2012. All she is doing now is keeping the spotlight on her, and she is throwing foul chum into the GOP debate right now with her comments as a member of the media on FoxNews. Newt had to quit FoxNews. Santorum had to quit Foxnews. If Palin announces, I'll have to add "stringing FoxNews along to make money off of them" to a potential negative. I like her making money, but not if she is being coy about it.
if the reasons are that shallow, they can be changed in a hurry
Could it be that the reasons are shadow because people are shallow? How quick can you forget the vapid emptiness of the entire Obama Hope & Change Campaign?
Shallow emotionalism works great when you own the Enemedia and time things out so that these shallow things peak in early November.
It seems to me is that you want Sarah standing before Greek foam Pillars.
You're conveniently forgetting that she did, but that Obama sent his goons up to Alaska to coordinate with the local Rats to attack and destroy her. Everything you mentioned happened after the hit squad did it's dirty work, and she needed to make money fast to cover her legal bills and to fight back, which she did. In fact, in late 2009 and early 2010, she was the ONLY prominent National Republican who was fighting back and effectively, leading to even more attacks and 'overexposure' (as you put it).
Her only other choice was to let Team Obama win, and I'm thankful that she didn't.
I guess you haven't been reading her articles or listening to her speeches have you?
For example, if any mayor of a small town (less than 7,000 at the time) took office with the town owing $1 million in long term debt and left a few years later with the town owing nearly $23 million in long term debt - and saddled the town with over $2.5 million in un-necessary legal bills resulting from a grossly mis-managed real estate deal, that politician would be a laughing stock here --- except for Palin, who did exactly that in Wasilla.

Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, And The Cost Of Fighting Chicago Thug Politics
Unless she starts hitting the Pork Rinds, eating Rocky Road Ice Cream by the Gallon and can magically play guitar, not so much.....
Texas is a big place and I don’t consider where Perry is from to be the south. Southern is Georgia Miss Alabama and SC. (Louisiana and Florida are something else again). Perry is a west Texas guy. I consider West and north Texas to be more central US like OK and Kansas. But that’s just me.
If I may, the Alaska government “could no longer function properly” in part because of unintended consequences from an ethics law Sarah “championed”. She said so in her “I’m out” speech.
What amazes me is how clueless you PDS'ers are.
OK, help me out here. Palin runs, who would be in that list for her Sec State, Sec Def, Sec of EPA?
The GOP candidate is going to need large money to combat the unions and the Enemedia. The Demoncats relied heavily on foreign campaign contributions, union mega-bucks, trial lawyers, Hollywood and other deep pockets. What endears Sarah to us is her ability to piss off the Establishment. NEWS FLASH: That is where the GOP money is. Sure we can show up at rallies with a baby in one arm and a US flag waving in the other, but she will need plenty of loot to get whatever message out you think that she is needs to get out.
So far, the Sarah "campaign" is eerily similar to Barry's Hope & Change campaign where the Obamunists inserted whatever their felt needs were into the "Hope & Change" that Barry would provide them. In the case of the Palin fans, y'all are similarly projecting whatever your heart wants into her unstated campaign platform.
We love her because she is attractive and makes us feel that she is for all the things we are for and against all the things that we are against. And where Barry was sold to the public as a sinless Messiah, Sarah is also being sold by y'all as the sinless Holy Virgin Mary. EXACTLY the same recipe that won Barry the Presidency.
“can you show me were rank and file GOP voters ever jumped out on a limb to nominate someone like Palin?”
Reagan was that type of candidate. He was viewed as the weakest opponent by the Carter administration. The press tried to paint a picture of him that ranged from a tottering old fool to the inept Bedtime for Bonzo guy. Every time a conservative runs they will be attacked and a bunch of nervous Republicans will end up nominating a Democrat-light candidate in their place; Dole, Bush Sr, Dole, and McCain. These candidates end up losing because the base sits home and the Democrats paint them as having the same policies. Republicans need conservative Democrats to believe there is a true difference between the candidates before they will support a Republican. Nominating a RINO never ends up working out the way Rove and company tell us it will....
So it's Sarah Palin's fault that Obama's goons misused it to attack and try to destroy her after the 2008 election? Blame the victim, eh?
BTW, the law was passed in response to Murkowski's corruption and well before she had any idea that she would be McCain's running mate.
Sorry but that dog don't hunt.
