She is the most powerful and influential movement Conservative since Reagan

No conservative she! More like a populist opporrtunist...as demonstated by her attacks on 'Big Oil', ala Maxine Waters.

Do your homework, sporto. This is too easy

I've done my homework. Enough to be immune to the spin you goddess worshippers spout all day long...every day!

Seriously, you are comparing an unknown O’Donnell in a CT primary against an unknown Coons as your justification that a mischaracterized Palin can’t beat a failed, unpopular, anti-American Obama?

No, I'm comparing their supporters. Both seem to be "head in the sand" ostriches who can't face obvious realities that virtually all major polls make crystal clear. And falling back on silly expressions such as "polls are for strippers" is just the same old blather which has been said by probably a thousand other politicians in the past whom were frustrated that their polling numbers suck miserably.

You believe that if Palin wins our primary, she’ll lose to Obama? You planning to sit this out if she does, chief?

Yes, I believe her negatives are so high she may lose against Obama. I think those negatives are so severe that she wouldn't win our nomination in the first place. I think large majorities of Republican primary voters would be too afraid she'd lose to Hussein and go with a stronger horse. I think the same problem plagues Bachmann. She is probably the most conservative person in the race who seems to be right on near all the issues, but she isn't gaining traction because I think most Republican primary voters think Obama would crush her in a general election. That said, if Palin actually runs and wins the GOP primary, I'd contribute money and time to get her elected President. I'd do the same for Bachmann or any other GOP nominee (other than maybe Paul who I think is a nut).

Reagan was the last “outside” candidate that “couldn’t win” and look at what they said about him.

Sarah Palin is not Ronald Reagan. Please just stop that nonsense.

It’s voters like you that lack the courage to escape the “lesser of two evils” option that is offered by our ruling class of idiots in the media and both political parties.

Sorry man, being right isn't enough. If it was, most of our problems would be solved. We're looking for the most conservative candidate who CAN win. Palin isn't going to run, because Palin has correctly identified she can't.

Insipid = NYT Best Selling Author x 2
Insipid = “Her primary win for the asking.” Rush Limbaugh
Insipid = To be endorsed by DeMint
Insipid = To be endorsed by Trump
Insipid = To be endorsed by Tea Parties across America
Insipid = 47% floor of national support. 60%+ General Election winner.

She’s a selfless winner, a conservative champion, a shrewd executive and real maverick that will lead America’s restoration.

You are stuck in an era of 8-track tapes, good old boy cronyism & media spin.

Even lightweight, RINO loving, Perry schills like you, sporto.

Let’s see - Crap polls commissioned by Perry pollsters and pushed by Fox News, with skewed voter samples, are definitely for strippers.

Yes, there are good (honest) polls and stripper (dishonest) polls. Good to see you graduated with a degree in common sense.

If a poll is honest, I accept it. If it’s dishonest, you seem to dance beside it.

How quaint the lame stream media obsesses over an irrelevant candidate what has no chance of winning, so they mob her and report on her every move “just because” she’s an irrelevant, has been, insignificant political figure.

Got it. Dude, you are good!

You're insane, Sporto. 35% is her ceiling. You goddess worshippers are clueless. Absolutely clueless. The palin cult of personality is embarrassing.

Wow - Grab the smelling salts. Wasn’t it Palin, and Palin alone, that spiked McCain’s polling by 8%, from 44% to 52%, in just 3 short weeks?

Yeah, I thought so. When she bypasses the media, speaks directly to citizens, she’s wildly popular. Americans are in lock step support of more than 80% of her positions.

Wake up and smell the new reality. You are crazed in your opposition to Gov. Palin and the empirical evidence that points to her eventual election.

Perhaps you should see a doctor that can help you with your anxiety.

While pundits on the right continue to dismiss the possibility that Governor Palin is running for President, and pundits on the left try to convince themselves that she’s insignificant, reality suggests something totally different. Not only do the media chase her tour bus down the road, hover over her hotel room in helicopters, and follow her around a state fair, someone as influential as Donald Trump waits to make an endorsement until she reveals whether she’ll be in the running. And make no mistake about it, whatever you think of Donald Trump, he is influential, and he’s said recently that the candidates are all reaching out to him. Nonetheless, he’s waiting to see what Governor Palin will do. If that’s what’s called insignificant, it would be interesting to see what would happen if she ever became significant.

Hang in there, Mr. Trump. Soon we’ll all know.

And you know the poll is honest when it gives you results you want to hear.

That’s not “good”, that’s delusional.

That’s Ron Paulesque.

After trailing Obama by more than 20 percentage points in polls all year, the new national survey, taken Sept. 13-14, found Palin trailing the president by just 5 points, 49-44 percent. The key reason: She now leads Obama among independents, a sharp turnaround…

By a margin of 49 percent to 36 percent, voters said they definitely plan to vote against Obama, according to the poll. Independents by 53 percent to 28 percent said they definitely plan to vote against him…

Obama is neck and neck with Romney, leading by 46-44. Obama had led by 5 points in August, 4 points in June, and 1 point in April. Romney now leads among independents, 44 percent to 40 percent.

Obama leads Perry by 50 percent to 41 percent. They split independents 43-43. Obama had led Perry by 19 points in August, as Perry was joining the campaign.

Public Policy Polling Republican South Carolina Primary August 2007: Thompson - 22%
Giuliani - 18%
Romney - 17%
McCain - 11%
Huckabee - 7%
Brownback - 3%
Paul - 2%
Survey was done August 13 of 749 likely primary voters, and has an MoE of 3.6%.

From Here

December 2007:

An AP/Pew poll of likely Republican voters in South Carolina released this week shows a three-way dead heat, with Thompson at 18 percent, just 1 point behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who are tied at 19 percent.

Nipping at their heels are Arizona Sen. John McCain, at 13 percent, and the up-and-coming former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, at 10 percent.

from here

Who eventually won there??? And where did the front runners end up? Um hmm...

What is Perry experiencing, McGinnis? Yeah, that's called peaking to soon. There's a pill for that.

It's not going to happen man. I know your desperate for her to join the race, but she isn't going to. She's going to tease it out through Sept, and then maybe through October. And when Palin finally declares she isn't running, she is going to tease you yet again by saying "I am not running for the Republican nomination for President", at which time you'll then believe she is running 3rd party. She will probably keep that going for awhile longer. It's all about ratings and keeping herself in the spotlight.

If Fox thought she was planning a run, they'd have fired her. Your falling for the endless tease campaign. Governor Palin is not a politician at this point, shes a Reality TV celebrity.

1. You’re clueless, man.
2. You act like you have absolute knowledge, which I know is flat wrong.
3. Sarah will resign from Fox, not be fired.
4. Funny how it’s not too late for Chris Christie, huh?
5. Perry is a blown dried, faux conservative, lightweight
6. There has never been a tease from Sarah - the only time frame she’s ever offered is “August-September” would her realistic deadline. The media, Karl Roves, Dick Morris and utter fools like you set false expectations, conjectures and speculations and when your uneducated guesses go afoul, you turn around and call Sarah a tease. Brilliant.
7. What should we do with all those foolish idiots in the McClatchy poll?

Keep your head in the sand. Stick with your cheerleading, Merckk salesman and all will be fine.
