The fact that Sarah Palin cannot win the general election has absolutely nothing to do with this so-called "indicator". This is just another liberal media attack in an endless series of liberal media attacks.
The liberal media attacks Sarah Palin for exactly the same reasons that the liberal media used to attack Dan Quayle:
1.) Dan Quayle was a very easy target and Sarah Palin is a very easy target
2.) Dan Quayle was unpopular with the majority of voters and Sarah Palin is unpopular with the majority of voters
3.) The liberal media painted Dan Quayle as the face of the Republican Party and the liberal media now paints Sarah Palin as the face of the Republican Party
4.) By continuously attacking Dan Quayle, the liberal media ridiculed the entire Republican Party, in the eyes of the majority of voters, by painting the entire Republican Party as "The Party of Dan Quayle".
5.) By continuously attacking Sarah Palin, the liberal media now ridicules the entire Republican Party, in the eyes of the majority of voters, by painting the entire Republican Party as "The Party of Sarah Palin".
The actual reasons that Sarah Palin cannot win the general Presidential election in 2012 (and the reason that the liberal media tries so hard to paint the Republican Party as "The Party of Sarah Palin") are plain and simple to anybody that is not blinded by an irrational worship of Sarah Palin:
1.) Sixty five percent (65%) of all voters state that they "will DEFINITELY NOT vote for" Sarah Palin. (See graph below)
2.) Fifty seven percent (57%) of all voters have an "Unfavorable" impression of Sarah Palin. (See graph below)
3.) Seventy one percent (71%) of all voters state that they do NOT believe that Sarah Palin would make a good President. (See graph below)
Only an individual that is totally mesmerized by an irrational Cult of Personality can claim, with a straight face, that they do not have extremely serious concerns about the "electability" of such a candidate as the GOP nominee for President of the United States.
Mindlessly chanting the mantras of Palin Worship ("PDS! PDS! PDS! PDS!") will get you praise and admiration from fellow mantra chanters on these FR Sarah Palin Worship & Devotional Threads but nominating such a candidate will absolutely GUARANTEE the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama in 2012 and devastate the future of America.
America simply cannot afford another four years of Marxist Barack Hussein Obama in the White House. It is time to get serious and seek a conservative candidate that will enter the race with an actual chance of defeating Barack Hussein Obama in 2012.
At least on the Planet Earth, you cannot win a general election when sixty five percent (65%) of all voters state that they "will DEFINITELY NOT vote for you.
Your mileage on Planet Sarah Palin obviously varies.
