The good news is that Obama is only at 42%. A solid conservative candidate will crush the boy marxist.

Pissant trolling Politico for Palin hit pieces...

[calex59]

A person can always tell a pissant article simply by reading the headlines. If it trashes Sarah it is posted by Pissant. This poll, and all others showing Bozo ahead of Sarah, are simply BS.

[LegendHasIt]

They really ought to do their polling of people other than those standing in line at the welfare office and the free clinic.

This is going to be one of the hottest topics on the stage for the next year and a half. Palin is hugely popular among many in the Republican Party. To many, she is their rock star candidate. However most of her supporters are political novices. They were the same types who believed Christie O'Donnell could win in Delaware if people just wished it. If people only believed it, it could happen. But of course she lost and if her opponent in the primary had won we would have another Republican in the Senate and be much closer to parity.

What I think is going on is why Republicans are often called "the stupid party". Democrats are "the evil party". Many here believe that conservatives are a majority in the United States. They hang with other conservatives both in personnal life and online. So they get a distorted picture of what's happening around them. I live in a sea of liberalism, so I have no delusional of the situation.

True Conservatives do not represent a majority of Americans. Most Americans are moderate more or less. They are a requirement for any Republican to win a national election. We should NEVER forget this simple fact. The country could be in a meltdown not seen since the end of the Civil War BUT Obama is going to win 95% of the Black Vote- Guaranteed. He's going to win 80% of the Hispanic Vote. He's going to win 65% or more of the Asian Vote. These numbers are carved into stone and cannot be changed. Add to these numbers the municipal labor unions, traditional labor unions and suicidal lunatic whites and you have enough votes to give Obama a second term. ANY Republican candidate will need to win both branches of the Republican Party and a substantial number of moderates to have a chance of beating Obama. We should never forget this. If we squabble and have types who call every Republican Candidate who doesn't agree with them on every issue a RINO, we might just have real problems. Think about it.

I learned a long time ago not to dismiss the polls because we don't like the result.

I have spoken to a number of Republicans, mostly women, who question Palin's qualifications for the presidency. And they vote conservative.

[MEGoody]

I don’t care how one feels about Sarah Palin. To choose Obama over her clearly shows the state is not as red as they would like people to believe (unless by ‘red’, you mean Communist).

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Palin trails Obama in red Tennessee AMONG DEMOCRATS

Fixed it.

[TexasCajun]

Newt to the rescue!

/sarcasm

[Sallygal]

I live in Tennessee, West Tn. in fact where it is a little more democrat but trending republican. Obama didn’t even win the first time in this area. My county went with McCain. This was the first time it went republican in a presidential election since Reagan. I can assure you.........this poll is BS. There is no way in HELL that Obama would beat Palin. In fact, Palin would cream him. Trust me, I know of what I speak. Tennessee is SOLID RED.

[RoseofTexas]

I really believe the mediaWHORES onslaught against Palin 24/7 has finally taken root. I know a few folks who will not vote for her solely because they believed every lie the mediaPUKES spewed. They say Palin didn’t do herself any favors either by having reality show. These folks voted for her in the past now they won’t even consider her a presidential candidate. THE EVIL MEDIASATAN HORDES still yield a lot of power in their pens.... NOW the BASTARDS are going after Michelle B. with a vengeance. Believe me when I say the SHEEPLE virus is alive and well.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I don’t believe it for a second. Tennessee was solidly McCain in ‘08 and people here still cannot stand Obama.

I call this poll bullshit.

[Article10]

Having lived in TN I would take this all with a grain of salt. If the calls where all in Shelby County, then of course Othugga would be ahead and Palin way behind. Call around Knoxville and see what the polls say.

Just another political trick on a slow news day by some leftist suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome

[TexasCajun]

Thank You Sir! ...May I Have Another!

[edge10]

I’m sure Duncan Hunter would pull his usual 1-2% in this poll.

[Danae]

I would like to see the methodology on this one. 710 PEOPLE??

“The Vanderbilt University poll surveyed 710 people, according to The Tennessean newspaper.”

What kind of people? What are their affiliations? What population was surveyed? Where was the survey concentrated?

There are Lies, damn lies and statistics... for some reason that phrase is sticking in my mind.
