Nearly half of the Republican Primary voters who support Sarah Palin say they are at least somewhat likely to vote for a third-party candidate if she does not win the GOP presidential nomination.

What, because we don't happen to support your particular choice for the GOP nomination?
That is seriously immature.
I’m not sure that you will be rewarded for throwing logical arguments into the fray, but your point deserves serious consideration. The conservative tide is ascendant and can prevail in 2012. But, the candidate must be a genuine conservative and must be palatable to the independent swing voters who will decide the winner in the next election. The field is wide open at this stage, but the candidate who can score on both points will be revealed as the play unfolds upon the stage.
If you don’t believe in polling take it up with the pollsters, but keep the silly comments to yourself. Before someone thinks you have gone over the deep end, which is very possible, from your comment.
Don't worry about it. If posting long posts was a crime, I'd have been take out behind the police station and shot long ago.

No, because of the extent to which you would go to defeat a candidate. You are the things that you do.
You're missing the point though. Polls are not true or false based on their actual validity. Polls are true when they say the things we want them to say, and they are dirty, MSM-driven falsehoods when they say things we don't want them to say.
You can hope that its ‘silly,’ but it’ll be just like it was in Alaska; count on it.
Every night you need to stand in front of the mirror and thrust your left hand and arm forward while saying in your most authoritative voice: Heil Obama. Practice often until it conveys the voice of sincerity and commitment. You will need this skill in the new America that you will help to bring us.
Polls are limited to preordained choices; they are not ‘essay’ questions.
Polls always say exactly what the pollster designed them to say.
Any portion of any poll that fails to achieve that end is always discarded.
And exactly what is the "extent" to which you think I "would go" to "defeat a candidate"?
Especially odd since I'm not actually against Sarah Palin. I'd be fine with it if she were the GOP nominee. Nevertheless, she also has negative points, and it is unhealthy to just gloss over and pretend like these don't exist, just to maintain her personality cult. I think she ought to get the same shake as any of the rest of the potential nominees who will most assuredly be cropping up between not and June 2012. Part of that "getting the same shake," however, means that her record should be combed over as part of the vetting process, too, just like anyone else's will be.
If you think this is "doing anything to defeat a candidate," then you do NOT have the maturity level necessary to be involved in politics.
too bad that you threw your credibility in the fire, huh?
Okay. So what is your proof of that? I mean, can you show us an example of poll results being discarded because they didn’t say what a pollster wanted them to say?
too bad that you threw your credibility in the fire, huh?
You are one sharp cookie Mr. Titus!!!!! Excellent, That is a complement!!!
One who lies is called a liar.
And when did I do that?
And why do you think you get to be an arbiter of "credibility"?
How old are you again?
When you throw a rock over the fence, the dog that yelps...
Are you afraid of a conservative party displacing the GOP and actually representing those that elect them? I would think that the vast majority on this board would prefer that to our current alternatives, and if the Republican party cannot be saved from the RINO’s and establishment elites, they deserve to be replaced by a conservative party and then the GOP can be absorbed by the dem party as it rightfully should be.
Anyone that votes for the "lesser of two evils" is only perpetuating the slide towards marxism/communism/totalitarianism and should be preparing for the consequences of their voting habits.
Again, I hope I'm wrong, but looking at history, I'm afraid I'm not.
Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama. All dedicated leftists who were elevated to the Presidency of a conservative leaning country in large part because a number of conservatives refused to accept the reality of our two party system, especially as it applies to Presidential politics.
