A new CNN poll shows Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin leading potential 2012 GOP primary opponents.
The survey of 429 Republicans showed Palin at 29%, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 26 percent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 21 percent and Louisiana Gov. Gov. Bobby Jindal trailing the field with 9 percent.
The poll has a margin of error of 4.5 percent.

Gee! Starting early, huh? My tagline.
They just don’t know Jindal well enough yet.
Mitt still stuck at 20%....
Interesting, because at CPAC, Mitt won the straw poll.
Mitt needs a new set of principles. The last ones weren’t focus-grouped properly.
Best,

At this point, a Reaganite WOULD be considered a ‘maverick’, compared to most Republicans in office today.
Bank on it. Huckabee will be another pain in the a**.
He’s an evil POS.
It’s almost all based on name recognition at this point.
Mitt is such a loser.
Stuck with buying off straw votes like at CPAC.
Stuck with having to use surrogates to attack
... other GOP candidates.
She is a real Reagan woman.
Long way to go. I believe that at this time in 1969, losing 1968 VP candidate Muskie was also the front runner for the 1972 Democratic nomination. The good thing about today’s presidential process is if Palin is proven to be prone to implode like Muskie, the mad dog media will bring in out in plenty of time to look for an alternative conservative champion. And I suspect that by 2011-2012, strong conservatives are going to look a whole lot better to the general American public.
why are we assuming there will be elections in 2012?
The Seattle PI (which is going backrupt) are just marking her bullseye for the MSM to destroy for the next 2 years.
Once 2010 rolls around, she will be ridiculed in the MSM. That’s the intention of why the CNN poll came out.
When she disowns her support for Amnesty and TARP, I’ll take a 2nd look.
I thought there are no real elections in a rigged communistic one party system.
CPAC...east coast blue-bloods.
That staw poll is lame.
HANNITY: Well, you know, both you and Senator McCain supported the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. You both opposed the bailout of government intervention as it relates to Lehman or Merrill. But now we read this morning that AIG is going to get some type of government bailout.
Was that the right call?
PALIN: Well, you know, first, Fannie and Freddie, different because quasi-government agencies there where government had to step in because of the adverse impacts all across our nation, especially with homeowners. It’s just too impacting, we had to step in there.
I do not like the idea though of taxpayers being used to bailout these corporations. Today it was AIG, important call there, though, because of the construction bonds and the insurance carrier duties of AIG. But first and foremost, taxpayers cannot be looked to as the bailout, as the solution to the problems on Wall Street.
