Yeah, but can she win? I agree with Palin almost right down the line on every issue. But I want to WIN in 2012. The last poll I saw showed her last among Pubs running against Obozo.

I would suggest you go back and find some old newspapers from 1978-1980. The parallels between what was said about Reagan then and Palin today are pretty remarkable.

The Democratic strategy in the 1980 primaries was to cross over and vote for Reagn in the GOP primaries, because they had determined (via lots of polling) that not only would Reagan be the easiest to beat, but that Reagan was unelectable.

And we know how that turned out.

Carter actually led in polls through most of the race. It was only as they got to election day that people decided “we can’t make it through four more years of Jimmy Carter” and then decided to pull the lever for Reagan. The 1980 election was less a pro-Reagan election as a rejection of Carter.

I think as we approach election day 2012, no matter who the GOP nominee is, people will come to the same conclusion about Obama—we can’t make it through another 4 years with him as president.

This is the first time in conservative history where we have the frontrunner, the leader, the top candidate predicted to win the primary, and guys like you want that conservative to drop out instead, and leave the field, there is clearly something wrong with that picture.

Exactly what they want you to think...

Ronald Reagan couldn't win, either.

But we need to go with Huckleberry McRomney again, because that works so well.
