Dems crowdsourcing to get Palin elected in primaries
Slashdot ^ | 30 DEC 10 | PVoce

Posted on 12/30/2010 7:02:00 PM PST by pvoce

"In what could be the most extreme and influential crowdsourcing project ever, Democrats are beginning to organize to purposely vote for Palin in the 2012 Republican primaries. Their theory is by having Palin as an opponent, Obama will have the best odds at winning reelection. Recent polls have shown that Obama comfortably leads Palin by 10-20 points, but Obama is statistically tied with Romney and barely ahead of Huckabee. They even have a state-by-state primary voting guide to help Democrats navigate various states' rules for voting Palin in Republican primaries."

“And winning that debate will convince voters to vote for her
NOT!”

With Palin’s history of supporting drilling for oil, gas at $5.00 a gal (see other FR threads),and Obama opposed to open up drilling; I do not think Obama would win.
But I also never win lotteries, door prizes, etc.

I’m with you.

First, I don’t believe this necessarily. Cause if true, it is the damn dumbest thing ever.

I tend to believe it’s yet another way to make Palin into a loser.

But hey, if they’re that dumb we appreciate the help. Also, if true, then the only ones we got to worry about are the Karl Rove types, the Ruling Class Blue Blood GOP, that will be working against Palin.

Sarah Palin’s woes in the polls stem from one thing and one thing only: a massive, unrelenting democrat smear campaign that began the instant McCain named her. The GOP has to push hard to correct the lies and this new ‘rat campaign will backfire big time. If the GOP doesn’t, she loses, America loses. Again.

The Dems are better organized. That’s how we got stuck with McCain as a nominee. The Tea Party should try to overturn those open primary statutes. The RINOs (Republican Party Establishment) are perfectly content with candidates like McCain and Bob Dole.

We’ll see if this story has and legs in the MSM. As far as I can tell, the media does not want her to run under any circumstance and have gone out of their way to discourage her and any of her supporters.

Another example of dems “hoping” to “change” the system.

Americans love being brainwashed in HD with their 40” plasma. A FR’er tonight said Megan Kelly on Al Waleed’s Fox News was making fun of birthers and fawning over Lord Obama.

Americans traded liberty for a clicker and ball games.

Oprah will spend endless time smearing Palin and white women drones who watch TV will take the hook. They helped elect the muslim in 2008.

If Palin is the nominee Obama will win the election.

I think we should file this in the drawer labeled “it seemed like a good idea at the time” in the folder labeled “things that can bite you on the ass”. LOL

This is the Dem version of “Operation Chaos”.

The torrent of mockery, belittlement, and demonization would be like nothing we've ever seen for a first time presidential candidate.

The dems are smart to try this.

No they are not!

It crooked, smarmy, a gaming of the system and shows absolutely no class nor respect for our system.

It is a shame that some dems would even consider openly supporting this, let alone someone here.

California voters (many of which are legal) voted in open primaries, so the overwhelming Dems can chose the Repub candidate.

So much for the concept of Republican Party members controlling their own Party.

Open primaries make elections a farce.

The USA is getting to have elections almost as honest as Hugo Chavez’s.

How can the USA stay a free nation when the corruption becomes overwhelming. Plus world class incompetence (Pelosi: “We must pass the bill so we can find out what is in it. — if that is not absolute proof she and Dems are corrupt or insane, what is?)

Not sure I believe they’re that stupid. But if true I’ll consider their arrogant blindness as a gift from God.

Palin’s best strategy, and the best strategy for all Republicans, is to begin attacking Obama’s energy policy. When the price of gas reaches $5, Obama will be toast and the candidate who’s been attacking his energy policy from the start will have the most credibility.

Do you blame Democrats for McCain getting the 2008 nomination?

Looks like the Rats have to steal one of our ideas.

Too bad they are too stupid to see how genuinely damaged Obummer is and by giving any GOP candidate a leg up will insure their success in '12.

I guess none of these dolts saw the anger at the ballot box last month. They will have helped install their personal boogy man in the WH.

I suppose not - given that nobody from the GOP could have beaten “the one.”
