Haley Barbour and Newt Gingrich both showed stronger rises in this pol that did Palin.
I have no idea who will be campaigning for the nomination, but once they are all in, I will be settling on the most conservative electable candidate. I hope that person is Sarah Palin but at this point if this were the field, she simply would not be.

I disagree with the NJ's rankings, and don't know where they gets his information that Palin won't run. However, I do agree that she will become the focus of the media in the primary race, and will "big foot" the other candidates out of the race. I also agree with the Journal's staff that she will likely win the GOP nomination if she runs.
And BTW, in before the PDSers. I am going to try and be nicer this time.
Those pictures of Myth laughing it up over Romneycare haunt me every time. This guy is just like Obama: a thoroughgoing statist.
Haley Barbour is my size. Do you really see the voters wanting a Deep South, Foghorn Leghorn sounding lobbyist to replace the first black president in 2012? Newt Gingrich? A serial philanderer is a non-starter with most Republican voters.
To everyone's surprise, he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.
Finally, he composed himself and asked, "Just how many is a brazilian?"
Good one!
(FL voice) "I say, I say, BOY! What kind of ferin' policy ya tryin' ta run heah? The chicken hawks have pecked away at yer brain, boy!"
Umm, yeah, I can't see that workin'.
During January 17, 1993 pre-Inaugural tour of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home, shown live by C-SPAN, Al Gore asks of busts of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Marquis de Lafayette: “Who are these people?” Also along on the tour: wife Tipper as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Ya talk so much yo tongues gonna get sunburned. I’m over here, boy! Pay ‘tention!
They know that if she runs, they're just wasting their time and money. So they're waiting to see if she's in before they pull the trigger. It is fairly well known among the GOP pollsters (who have actual poll results, not results from polls "weighted" for the "larger number of Democrats than Republicans."
The accurate polls are weighted for the fact that GOP and Independent voters outweigh the Donkeys this time around by more than 2-to-1. Use those numbers when polling, and you see Palin right about mid-way between the polls form ABC/Gallup/Reuters/etc., and the 86% she drew here in the FreeRepublic poll.
Best estiamte, Sarah's at roughly 58% right now without yet having announced. Which is why nobody wants to be first in the GOP Pool. First one in is an absolute imbecile.

The National Journal (which is now under the direction of the far left HuffPo) ranks GOP favorites. LOL!
The big secret is that everyone else is running for vice president.
Yep, Barbour's going to be a disaster.
And Mitt Romney didn’t rise at all!!!
Since there are no percentages given I will assume the rankings are actually extremely close and that no candidate has a clear statistical lead. Palin is the one to beat since she is getting more publicity than the rest. And the field is made up of has-beens, never-wills and those with no chance. Mitt, Newt, are in the first; Huck, Trump and Santorum in the second, Rudi, Huntsman and Ron the third.
There are no more than four or five serious candidates: Sarah, Haley, Pawlenty, and maybe Bachman and Daniels. And Sarah has the most charisma. I wish she didn’t sound so whiny though.
Palin is looking good for this stage of the game. She’s really scaring off the competition.
“I wish she didnt sound so whiny though.”
Not a problem. Obama is way more whiny than she is. LOL
