Hillbuzz, a gay blogger living in Chicago who was for Hillary Clinton...umm no thanks. I have to hand it to the little guy he carved out a unique niche blog. He has all valid points except one thing, she will not beat Obongo in the general. There has not been one shred of data showing her doing that, and that my friend is what patters not how vociferous her supporters are or the purity of her Conservative message. I voted for Reagan, I was around when he campaigned, I heard him speak LIVE and Sarah Palin is no Reagan. She needs to stay on the sidelines, snipe form the tall grass and help get Obama out of the White House, that is her calling. Her running is Barry Goldwater redux.

He’s one of the sharpest analysts out there, which is why his blog is popular.

Actually there’s loads of info showing that Palin could be Barry in the general. It starts with repeated polls of them going head-to-head: Barry consistently fails to reach 50%, which is required of an incumbent to win. Given that the undecided tend to break 4-to-1 for the challenger, most such polls show them in a dead heat—before she’s even declared.

But more important than the overall popular vote is how the two do in swing states. Throughout the Rust Belt, Palin tends to poll very well and Barry very poorly.

Further, a lot of elections are driven by turnout, both among the base and among supporters in the thin-voting moderate/independent band. In both cases Palin voters are highly motivated and Barry voters are not.

She’s in a great position against the little commie.

No, that isn't what 'patters'. You know why? Because 'data' like that doesn't exist for anyone. It NEVER will exist, because it isn't possible for it to exist. People who demand such things are either deliberately obtuse or idiots who want to chase Skittle crapping unicorns. Whichever you are doesn't matter, since the time for patience with either group is long past.

If Sarah can’t take him out, who can? Why don’t you tell us?
No, pburgh01, she is the only one who can.
You haven’t seen her campaign yet. What you saw in ‘08 was the ‘Cuda bound and gagged by McCains establishment handlers.
Just hang onto your hat and be prepared to eat your words!

I don't care if he has three eyes and cloven hooves, this is one of the most inciteful political bits that's come down the pike in a long time. Even if he were wrong about Palin's intentions, I don't think anyone hear would dispute his characterization of the press as a bunch of stale, lazy worthly partisan hacks.

You’re not much of a visionary if you don’t see Sarah Palin TROUNCING Obama in an election.

>> “There has not been one shred of data showing her doing that” <<

.
Absolutely false.

The media attack on Palin is based on a series of polls starting in september 2008, and continuing through to date. Their polls show massive support for Palin in the middle that is based in the very most likely voters: those that have not missed an election since the day they registered.

That is the group that they use when they want the correct answer, rather than push poll propaganda. Those polls are never released to the public, or even to rank and file media employees. They are used in their attempt to shape opinion.
