I do not trust every poll. I do trust conservative leaning pollsters who also say that she trails significantly.

I don't know where you're getting all this from, but it's a well-known (and observable) fact that Sarah Palin has a broader, and deeper level of grass roots support across this country than any other candidate (or potential candidate).

Sitting here on Free Republic and continuing to post that, "she just can't win", isn't going to change that. Such statements simply fly in the face of reality, my friend. No other political figure outside the White House commands such attention, as does Sarah Palin.

There is a very good reason for that. It's that she, above all others in the field, has what it takes to not only win the nomination, but to go on to beat Obama, and THEN, to begin dismantling the Socialist beast that's killing us, in earnest.

The media and the talking heads aren't pounding out millions of words about this woman every week because "she's not going to run", and "she can't win." They're scared out of their minds that she will.

Put your trusted polls down for a minute, and actually observe what's really going on here. It's really quite hard to miss, unless you're intentionally shielding your eyes.

Wind...I heard the exact same things from people here about Sharon Angle and O’Donnell and a bunch of others in 2010. I told them in 2010 they were crazy, and I was right. It’s one thing to win a primary and be loved to the core by the base. It’s quite another to win a general election.

Anything is possible, but more than likely she cannot win. You thought the media savaged her last time, wait until this time around. This election will come down to independents and too many independents don’t think she has the mettle to run this country. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t think Obama does either. So what happens is they sit it out or vote some 3rd party candidate and Obama wins anyway.

I love Sarah, but she cannot win. She cannot take enough of the swing states that the GOP must win to capture the WH. Pennsylvania being one. Virginia being another. She might be able to win Ohio, but she trails there now as well. She needs ALL THREE of those states, not just one.
