Among other poll details:

—Republicans still give Romney the highest favorability rating among announced candidates, at 61 percent. Palin, who’s keeping everyone guessing about her intentions, is holding steady, too, with a 63 percent favorability rating.

—Bachmann’s favorability rating jumped from 41 percent to 54 percent among Republicans. A third still have no opinion about her, and it’s too soon to tell if her boost will endure or was a June phenomenon.

I thought polls right now were worthless?

I said that? Point to it.

I didn’t say you said it. But I’ve seen it here before. I actually happen to agree. Besides national polls don’t decide our nominee the primaries do.

I don’t care what the polls say, but I will say that there appears to be a very strong under current for Palin that hasn’t surfaced because she is taking her time to announce. Once she announces its going to explode to the surface. Its going to be a real doozy of a fight against the Great Genius in the Whiskey Hotel. :o)

What is the "drop dead" date for declaring?

It's based on a dollar amount and other stuff, not a specific date.
Read about it here...Under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the Act), an individual becomes a candidate for federal office when:

The absolute "drop dead" date to be in the primaries is in November.
See 26!

She may not announce at the movie. But the fact that The Undefeated is premiering in Iowa is pretty much a dead giveaway.

She’s running. She really sort has to at this stage, she has done so much that is “like” a campaign (not traditional, but smarter than that...but still...very, very much “like” a campaign). If she were to end up not running, she’d not only take a serious hit politically, but her media career would be really hit hard.

She’s running. And she is going to be a top shelf contender for the nomination.

(Perry is also running, by the way, and he is going to end up being the main competition, I think....that’s my prediction at this stage).

Amen to both. Palin, when she runs, will be at the top, until Perry announces soon also. Someone here mentioned that Sarah is constrained by ethics rules against running until July. It's going to be quite a show. And we'll have three good conservatives running, at least- Palin, Bachmann, and Cain. (Cain disappeared from my dream pick list in my tagline because he's confused on the Second Amendment.)

Personally I think Perry is also conservative enough. Which is different from saying he is a Conservative.

Romney, for example, is neither a Conservative, nor is he conservative enough.

Palin, Bachman and Cain are both conservative enough and are Conservatives.

But ...again...personally I think Perry is conservative enough, though many here obviously stridently disagree.....

In any event, it is going to be interesting to watch.

This is also a single issue election, as one issue dominates all others: Obama must go.

Every time I see a pic of Heath Ledger's Joker, I feel sadness that Ledger died so young, and I also feel real gratitude to Ledger for making the Joker such an uncanny spoof of Obama. Though it was done unwittingly, it WAS done due to Ledger's sheer talent and skill as an actor. Jack Nicholson's Joker was fantastic, but Ledger's was profoundly timely and believable.

I hope Ledger rests in peace. He gave this nation something of value, whether he meant to or not.

It is interesting IMHO, that this is yet ANOTHER poll that doesn’t even mention Cain as a candidate. Wonder why...
