This is really from the Onion, isn't it?

Editor's note: This is another in a series of "WND/WENZEL POLLS" conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.
Former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has said that the 2012 run for the Oval Office will be an out-of-the-box event. But just what did she mean?
Voters eventually will find out, presumably. But just in case her "out-of-the-box" reference means something as surprising as challenging Barack Obama in a Democratic Party primary, Fritz Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies included the scenario in his newest poll on the coming election.
The telephone survey was conducted Sept. 23-27 and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 2.91 percentage points.
The results were startling.
"Just 3 percent of Republicans and 17 percent of independents said they planned to vote in their state's Democratic Party primary or caucus," explained Wenzel, "but if you add Sarah Palin to the equation, something interesting occurs. Asked whether they would participate in the Democratic Party's primary or caucus in their state if Sarah Palin were to enter the Democratic Party's race for the presidential nomination against Obama, the numbers increased substantially. Republican participation jumped from 3 percent to 22 percent, and independent voter participation jumped from 17 percent to 31 percent."
He said in a head-to-head matchup among Democratic Party voters, Palin still draws support away from Obama.....

Sarah Palin has no business disregarding the polls.
She needs to obey them and stay out of the race.
LEAVE RICK PERRY ALONE, SARAH PALIN!!!
Thinking better of it, I bought lots of Orville Reddenbacher popcorn stock. That way, rather than get fat, I'll just get rich instead.
LOL!
8^D
LMAO!!!!! Yeah, that's what the Marist Poll said, too. And the CNN , and the Quinnipiac, and the... oh... wait:
No, they didn't say that... they said she was either tied with or leading Obama! Never mind.
This is really from the Onion, isn't it?
She’s not running! LOL!
She gets 30% of the vote in a head to head matchup with Zero in a DEM primary! That’s impressive.
Methinks more than “a few”. LOL!
Is the non-candidate girl beating up on the Texas tough guy? I guess she had better stop whatever it is she is doing (looking beautiful) before the Texas governor starts crying.
This sounds like a vicious campaign for high school prom royalty status.
It's "not fair" she is pretty and popular.
She needs to obey them and stay out of the race.
LEAVE RICK PERRY ALONE, SARAH PALIN!!!
What tea party did they ask, and who did the asking?
('Cause they never asked me!)
She needs to obey them and stay out of the race.
Since when would a candidate "obey" a poll?
Is that a sign of "Leadership"?
I believe Palin will run as an independent so she does not have to spend money and time defending her reputation which has already been dragged down the gutter by our wretchedly evil latte-sipping, entrenched mouthpieces and ass-kissing-monkeys to the political elites, like Rather, Couric,
Wolf, that tiny earwig of comedy central, Jon Stewart, Joe, the blow, McGinniss, that waste of carbon, the four post menopausal psychotic bow-wows who co-host “The View”, to mention a few of my favorite puke peddlers who malign Ms. Palin, who did nothing to them except be a beautiful, smart, accomplished, wife, mother, mayor, governor, vice-presidential candidate, and the favorite political figure of her times!
Mark Twain said, “No man can stand success; another’s that is.”
Palin is a winner!
There's gonna be a whole lotta sad liberals come November, 2012.
Bump for a good morning read.
I keep having that poll quoted at me by Perrywinkies.
I was illustrating its absurdity with absurdity.
I was making fun of the Perrywinkies who keep quoting that poll at me.
"No heart", indeed. I cast mine aside after Arizona kept open primaries and mccain won in them with votes from democrats carrying him well over the more conservative opponent.
I will never support an establishment rino again.
Palin would light up this race in a heartbeat if she entered. I think you'd see a release of aggressive support in her favor that would strike fear in the heart of the left.
High time if you ask me.
