I didn't bother to transcribe the non-essentials. Over 5,000 FaceBook users participated in the poll. Tends to make a joke of all the recent polls except the one that showed Palin and Obama tied at 47% about a week ago.

I think her dodge on Greta's show last night was just a "head-fake" to throw the wolves off the scent. I believe she will announce her decision to run in 2012 within the next 10 days.

Fire away.

I hope she doesn’t. Cain has the better qualifications.

And, yes, I count “no previous political experience” as a PLUS for Cain.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

“I hope she doesn’t. Cain has the better qualifications.”

That’s so crazy. People get fixated so easily.

Both on the same ticket would be good for me.

See this thread posted by RonDog that discusses some of the reasons why she is waiting and my comment at #41 that explains her trip to South Korea and how important that speech before a world audience is.

[Lazlo in PA]

Ah. A Facebook poll. Well cinches it.

[jennychase]

She will announce after her return from South Korea.

[Gargantua]

It cinches nothing. It's just interesting that almost 70% of Facebook participants (most of the population by now) feel she is qualified and can beat Obama.

Just interesting, that's all. As proven by your need to read and respond.

Cain/Rubio would be a stronger ticket. Palin would only drag Cain down with all the baggage she brings.

And if you try to deny that Palin brings baggage, you aren’t seeing things clearly at all.

[CedarDave]

She will announce after her return from South Korea.

That's my guess. As I said in my response at the other thread, she is giving an hour-long speech before a world economic forum (most of the other speakers only have 30 to 40 minutes), she is at the top of the list after the introduction, and (unlike Obama) she does not want it seen as a political campaign speech (though after she announces it will be considered as such).

[Gargantua]

"Cain has the better qualifications."

LMAO!!! For selling pizza?

[Gargantua]

<<< PING >>>

The 30% who respond that their opinion of Palin has recently improved is quite encouraging. Seems "The Undefeated" is having the expected effect.

;^)

You see??!! It is only ‘sometimes’ when polls are for strippers and skiers. And what could be more accurate than a Facebook poll??!!

Goalposts moved. New location: After she returns from S. Korea.

No way. Palin would ruin Cain's chances.

[Gargantua]

"And what could be more accurate than a Facebook poll??!!"

Oh, let's see... the prediction that you'll show up acting like a petulant, sour-grapes jackanape? How about the wager that your keyboard is moistened with your ignorant drool?

Either of those more accurate than a Facebook poll?

8^D

[pgkdan]

Ah. A Facebook poll. Well cinches it.

Yeah...let's just skip the election and inaugurate her next week. It's a done deal. Why wait on formalities like elections? ;-)

[Windflier]

Cain has the better qualifications.

I'd say that's a matter of opinion.

[Gargantua]

Nice to see all the Perianal-Cainiacs are out in your usual hyena-pack, sniffing for Palin threads to urinate on. I'm going to laugh until my sides hurt when she walks away with the nomination, just envisioning you nine imbeciles buying all the Maalox and Pepto Bismol in a three-State area.

Goalposts moved.

Oh? By who?
