The Boston Herald ^ | 2009-07-08 | Dave Wedge

Former Bay State Gov. Mitt Romney is locked in a statistical dead heat with Sarah Palin for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, despite the Alaska governor’s abrupt resignation last week, according to a new poll of Republican voters.

Romney leads all Republican presidential contenders, garnering 25 percent of the vote, edging out Palin (24 percent), former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (22) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (14 percent) in the Rasmussen poll released yesterday.

Palin comes off as ditz, and how much of the hype surrounding her is just because she's the first female VP candidate?

Geraldine Ferraro was a male?

Romney WILL get the Republican nomination. Of course, Sarah will win the Presidential election under the banner of her CONSERVATIVE party!

Palin is stronger than Jindal for sure, but republicans need new leaders to step it up and fast. Palin is a great party spokeswoman and has amazing fund-raising abilities. She would easily win about 16 red states too.

Yesterday a raging liberal was lauging and gleefully telling me “You’re going to have Romney in the next election...it looks like Romney for your side.”

Yes, I’ve lived in the only country where a Jew can’t make a living because of socialism (and will return).

I don’t want my current country ruined by socialists like Romney, either.

“Romney is a big fake boob.”

Palin complains about unfair attacks and her supporters call Romney “a big fake boob”. Nice.

Wow, Sarah’s one point behind and she never even campaigned in the primaries.

Wow, Sarah’s one point behind and despite being the VP nominee. Poor Sarah.

I've known Romney was a fake long before I ever heard of Sarah Palin.

Hey, why did Myth join the NRA two weeks before running for President? Does he REALLY think conservsatives are that stupid, or IS HE that stupid?

“And this is coming from a Taxachusetts paper. I’m sure they’re reputable though. :)”

fyi, the boston globe is liberal, owned by the NY times, the hearld is conservative, it is reputable, and even in “taxachusetts”, conservative papers are still there.

mitt did a better job in MA than Palin did in AK.

It is easy to do well in AK, when oil royalties allow you to have zero taxes, provide services and pass out checks, vs. MA where you have a bunch of liberals to try to herd and no natural resources to speak of.

I think the Repub nomination will be Romney, and I think if he is nominated,. he should take Palin as his VP. Romney/Palin? Isn’t that a dream ticket?

Mitt and his Romney Butts can go fudge themselves.

Hey, why don't you sent this joke in the Letterman show. I think the quality of it will fit right in.

Umm, Sarah Palin just endorsed Rick Perry as I’m sure you know.

Most conservatives think Bush should have stayed out of the toomey/spectre PA primary. But it is OK for an alaskan governor to interfere in a Texas primary. And Palin complains about the media's double standard.

The daily Palin versus Romney piss fest. Let's sink both candidates and keep it up until the date Obama is re-elected. Yah, that's the best strategy.

Yep, you got that right.

Romney couldn’t carry the Cuda’s jockstrap.

Not a big deal since I doubt sarah has the need for one, but can Sarah carry Romney's jockstrap ?

Oh and people complain about the media double standard too.
