Palin’s Search Traffic 6x Greater than Top 4 2012 Hopefuls Combined
US For Palin ^ | November 20, 2010 | Ron Devito

Conservatives4Palin(C4P) today reported that Gov. Palin’s internet search traffic is six times greater than the traffic for Romney, Gingrich, Huckabee, and Pawlenty. C4P’s story is based on Nate Silver’s “The 800-Pound Mama Grizzly Problem” published last night in the New York Times.

The numbers are even more staggering when each candidate’s search traffic is analyzed. Silver wrote:

Ms. Palin’s search traffic, since the start of 2010, is roughly 16 times that of Mitt Romney, 14 times that of Newt Gingrich, 38 times that of Mike Huckabee, and 87 times that of Mr. Pawlenty. (It is about six times greater than these other four candidates combined.)

Ms. Palin, in fact, draws almost as much search traffic worldwide as the man she would face if she wins the Republican nomination: Barack Obama. And her name is searched for about 30 percent more often than the President’s among Google users in the United States.

Bristol Palin, who is not running for any office receives several times more traffic than the Top Four GOP hopefuls, according to Silver!

This harkens back to what I had said long ago and is not surprising. People spend thousands of dollars and travel thousands of miles just to see her, often with no chance of having any bonding time with her. Anyone of hundreds of thousands of people can express the Reagan Conservative message, but that does not mean they can or should run for office. The other 2012 GOP hopefuls probably could do a reasonable job of discharging the duties of the Office of President. But, they are not Transformational Leaders, and not statesmen. That kind of leadership comes once in a lifetime. That is the leadership we yearn for, and that our party so desperately needs.

For such a time as this, it is Gov. Palin who has been summoned to carry Reagan’s torch.

You have to admit: It's amazing the interest she garners. Polls, schmolls, President Carter was beating then Governor Ronald Reagan in all the polls in 1980, and we know how that turned out, don't we?

Backstabber and spoiler Mitt Romney is ineligible and unelectable.
However, Gov. Palin is ineluctable.

Oh but to hear the pundints talk she has zero chance.*eyeroll* You can manipulate polls by only calling into cities by picking areas codes that are primarily located in those places.Online polls we know often are voted on many times by the left or even by people who can’t vote or are not old enough to vote.I know I’d feel a heck of a lot better right now if Sarah was up there standing behind the Presidential seal than who is up there now!

The Sarahphobes will use anything they can get their hands on to defeat her. Especially Alinsky tactics.

Saul Alinsky was ultimately quite shallow minded. This can be seen throughout his thinking.

But the particular idea of attacking his enemy by holding them to their own standard is highly flawed.

Alinsky based this tactic on his misunderstanding of Christianity. Alinsky thought the Christian’s weakness was in the fact that the Christian cannot live up to Gods’ laws. Yes, the Christian is a sinner to his core. But Alinsky never grasped the concept that the Christian has been justified by faith, since Christ defeated sin on the cross.

In the secular (political) world, a person’s allegiance to truth corresponds with the Christian’s faith in Christ.

This explains how the Alinskyite can never really defeat his “enemy” by “holding him to his own standard,” if in doing so the Alinskyite bears false witness. In his own lies, he defeats himself.

Honesty brings absolute victory. Sarah Palin’s greatest strength is her allegiance to the truth.

Well, a small part of it could be her "enemies" searching for "dirt", but for the most part it makes goofballs out of people like Rove...it's the PEOPLE who are searching for her on the web, who are turning out in droves to see and hear her speeches, and to watch everything she does on TV.

It's the PEOPLE who are supporting her daughter on DWTS.

While Google returns 5 times as many results for "Obama rules" as "Palin Rules", the gap is nearly 50 times (the right way) for "XXX sucks".

Goolge hits (in millions)
Palin Obama
Sucks 1.1 53
Rules 15 76

All it takes is a Palin, any age, to set off the liberals. This is awesome.

Beautiful Palin will win DWTS because she is not a star, unlike Jennifer Gray, who is a star and acts out her pain every week.

folks like me, who have never seen, nor ever will see, DWTS, will find out how, and then will vote for her, as many times as is allowed.

I'm gonna do it just to see how many liberal heads, wrapped in duct tape, will explode.

Way to go—I love your plan.
Everything the Palins touch turns to success, the liberals cannot stand it.
I do hope Bristol gets offers for a TV show, something with class—that would make heads roll.

I have never heard such hoppa-la because of a dance contest. People vote for the one they like best, does not have to be the best. For example I do like Jennifer Gray, not because of the way she dances, because I think she whines. I would guess others vote for the Disney star, he is fun to watch. That Is OK too. They should not make a federal case because Bristol Palin wins. When Emmet Smith won, we did not hear all this bickering. I hope you vote. It is fun to vote, especially when you pick a winner.
