Yeah this polls smells like BS. Every candidate that she has endorsed ends up winning. So if she is so unpopular, why do candidates beg for her endorsement.
Every candidate that she has endorsed ends up winning.

You said it before I did. And, I think the Dems are scared to death of her, that’s why they hate her so.
It’s not surprising that the majority of FReepers love and adore Sarah Palin. But we do not sway elections. Yes, Democrats fear her .. but so do Independents. Without the latter, you don’t win elections.
“Every candidate she has endorsed ends up winning” a Republican primary. Who, exactly, votes in Republican primaries? ta da .. conservatives! I don’t recall her being involved in either VA or NJ last year for the general, statewide elections, and can’t recall her endorsing either man at the top of the ticket. IIRC, the VA candidate asked her to stay out of the race, so that scenario is more likely in bluer NJ.
We won’t even know for sure after the ‘10 elections how her Right endorsements played because of the historically high anti-incumbent sentiment.
Right now there is no one on the GOP horizon that *I* would rather see carry the GOP banner in ‘12, but, frankly, I don’t think she can win. Not without a seachange in attitudes across the USA. I fear she’s been successfully Borked or Quayled. And I think she knows that but will use her influence where it can do some good.
My tagline use to read: "if you are getting heavy flak you know you are over the target"...and that was in reference to Sarah...'nuff said. :o)
