Palin returns to Iowa as GOP frontrunner; UPDATE: Palin's favorables up, Obama's approval down
The Examiner ^ | 12/7/2009 | Kevin Hall

Two weeks ago, an Iowa poll showed Palin trailing Huckabee by just two points, 70% to 68%, in favorability ratings among Iowa Republicans. She easily outdistanced Mitt Romney, who garnered only 58 percent. Despite a media onslaught attempting to spin the Clemmons story, Huckabee's credibility has taken a serious hit. Even those who boosted him to victory in the 2008 Iowa Caucus are questioning the former Arkansas governor's judgment.

Never read past the first lie!

There are no polls to prove it yet, end of story!

Sarah has a lot of appeal, and this book tour has been an unqualified success for her on every level: personal, business, political etc.

Without poling results to confirm this, this is pure speculation. I’d love to see it, but it needs confirmation.

It’s called using common sense. Try it.

Sarah Palin is the assured Republican nominee in 2012 the same way Hillary Clinton was the assured democrat nominee in 2008.

Actually, there are. Just read the story and apply a little reasoning.

Palin was ahead of Romney, and trailed Huckabee slightly. When Huckabee now says "less than likely to run" that sounds a lot like a dropout to me.

This leaves Sarah ahead of the only other serious contender. Why isn't this lead dog position?

Everyday and in every way Sarah keeps looking better to me. I’m not alone.

Except that people genuinely like Sarah Palin.

Hillary had all the warmth of a reptile.

LOL, There are no polls to prove it yet, end of story!

The next election is more important than wishful thinking in some quarters. One of the things that is so sicking in the Republican party is that meaningless BS that the people of Iowa and New Hampshire should carry more weight than anyone else in this country.

“It also means many more vicious attacks from the lefties, who despise Palin and everything she represents.”

Basically she represents Truth, Justice and the American Way. You know, everything the other side hates with a passion. ;-)

GOP 2010! Palin 2012!

Right. I don’t think she runs until the end of O’s second term . By then she and most of America will be ready . Mitt will not escape his health care disaster . All the explaining and charts and graphs will not change public opinion. Ask Huck or the CW freaks how that works.

:::::::
There are MANY differences.

1. Palin does not have to lie constantly.
2. Palin has self-respect.
3. Palin does not have a fake, lying husband.
4. Palin has morals, ethics, and principles.
5. Palin does not have Chinagate crime hanging around her neck.
6. Palin has a TRACK RECORD of POSITIVE accomplishment.
7. http://www.lizmichael.com/clintond.htm

The list goes on. There is no comparison between the two.

You are confusing something, Palin is the grass roots candidate, her support is from the bottom up, the Kool-aid drinkers are those that share the establishments (of both parties) view and are against Palin.

You are on the side of the media and the rino, Romney/Rockefeller party establishment, that makes you the kool aid drinker.
