PPP: Obama leads Palin by eight … in South Dakota?
hotair.com ^ | 2-1-11 | Allahpundit

Posted on 02/01/2011 7:43:18 PM PST by Justaham

I’m highly skeptical — this is a state the GOP’s won in every election since 1964 — but their sample doesn’t seem obviously skewed to me. The partisan breakdown is 48R/38D/14I; the sample in the state’s 2008 exit poll on election day was 42R/36D/22I. If anything, PPP skewed too heavily towards Republicans. The ideological sample is similarly in line. For PPP, it’s 43 percent conservative, 44 percent moderate, and 13 percent liberal. In 2008 on election day, the exit poll had it 35 percent conservative, 50 percent moderate, and 15 percent liberal. Again, PPP’s numbers tilt against Obama. And their polling of hypothetical Romney/Obama and Huckabee/Obama races seems credible. Mitt leads 46/40 and Huck leads 47/41 in a state McCain won by eight points.

It's disgusting how much you bash her.

Pissant and I have had our disagreements in the past, but this time I agree with him. BTW, you seem to be quite the drama queen for a newbie.

This is much ado about nothing.

Of course. Sarah will crush him in a Reagan-style landslide.

Once the public sees her in the Republican debates, without the media filter, they'll love her, just like they loved Reagan.

Compare her warmth and humor to his monotonous drone. Huge charisma gap.

Good luck with your Palin bashing and lasting on freerepublic.com . She will be the 2012 Nominee.

Libs will do everything in their power to stop it, but they won’t be able to. Haaaaa You are becoming known as the #1 Palin basher on FR... keep the putting the spotlight on yourself. Obama is already in full campaign mode because that’s all he knows, campaign mode. He knows he’s toast in the next election, cuz Sarah won’t be intimidated and won’t back down.

Don't worry PA, they're doing the same thing to Bachmann as we speak.

I guess we had better get used to Liberals picking our Candidates, right? Time to send a Thank You note to Governor Palin for all her wasted time and energy.

Gee, I wonder who they will “Quayle” next. I guess FR should just be a place to discuss Recipes and the Weather now that we don't have to worry about who will be our Candidate in 2012.

"She’s been Quayled. That’s why she’s tanking. Which is a good thing because she is more valuable as a barnstormer/fundraiser for candidates this coming election."

Very unfortunate, but true. You're gonna catch hell for saying so(and I'm gonna get flamed for agreeing with you lol). She was like lightening in a bottle when she was first introduced to the country with her convention speech. It was all downhill after that, with the McCain campaign totally mismanaging her/eventually backstabbing her, a media campaign against her unlike anything I've ever seen, and she didn't do herself any favors by stepping down as governor. She would have been far better served to finish out her term, and then take one of the Senate seats up there. She could have easily unseated RINO MurCOWski. She continues to be VERY valuable to our side though. She can rally the conservative base like no one else, and she has a way of making leftist heads explode.

For Bachmann, it’s water off a duck. She’s had their hatred and arrows since she arrived, and she keeps on truckin’. She’s too well spoken for anyone to Quayle.

Let’s just keep in mind that Allahpundit hates Sarah Palin.

You agree with what? That Palin isn’t qualified to be the Republican nominee? This website is Pro-Palin, in that the founder of the website is encouraging her to run for President.

So in other words, you Disagree with the founder of this website. That means you are in the minority.

It's a PPP poll, not exactly known for their accuracy. Also, what a stunner that Allahpundit, a known anti-Palin guy, would post this. Put it this way. There is no chance that Obama would carry SD over any of the known Republican candidates.

Such a Palin hater. Stop bashing Palin on freerepublic. She’s a Conservative and she has the support of the founder of this website. He likes her, he is encouraging her to run for President. Too bad for you, you won’t get your way on freerepublic. She is one of us. Palin is Conservative. Your true colors are showing with each and every post.

No, I saw it on Youtube. It could have been alot funnier. They need better writers. But getting lampooned on SNL means you’ve arrived. No president or major politico is spared. Thinking of Dana Carvey as GWHB still cracks me up.

Since this can’t be true, it follows that agents of Romney or Huckabee are responsible for the fraud. The tipoff for me is in the grammar used.

Maybe South Dakota doesn't like those who resign their office halfway through their term when the pressure got too much.

For the record, I think Huck and Romney are worse for different reasons. No 2008 retreads.

She might be one of you, she ain’t one of me. Have your read the Title IX legislation before?

Excellent points. I remember ‘92 well, no one thought Clinton would get anywhere near the WH. Look at McCain in December and January 2008, would anyone have thought he would be the nominee?

Hope fr bans the in-your-face Palin basher sooner rather than later. Concern trolls are becoming more and more obvious and shouldn't be tolerated on fr. Even if they donate money to this website...which is their attempt to stay even with their anti-conservative posts.

Anti-Palin creeps need to scram. Hope it's sooner rather than later. They are so obvious in their agenda.
