Its been a good few weeks for Sarah Palin.
Now, a new national poll shows her trailing President Obama in a head-to-head matchup by just 5 points, 44 to 49 - this, after she had trailed him by more than 20 points for most of the year. Thats better than current GOP frontrunner Rick Perry, who trails the president 41 to 50 in the same poll.
According to the survey, Palins recent jump in support has come mostly from independents, who have lately been abandoning the president in droves. Still, she remains a controversial figure: 72 percent of Republicans and independents in the same survey also said they dont actually think Palin should run.
And that remains the question: will she or wont she? Palin recently told Fox News that she thinks theres still time for candidates to get into the race, and that shes still considering it. She repeatedly said she believed it would be an unconventional election year.

Perry, Palin, Bachmann, Trump, Angle, O’Donnell and did I say Palin - what is about the Tea Party that it followed such lo-grade leaders?

Frum... rhymes with...
The 72% poll is a piece of garbage. She is the most articulate Conservative we have had for years.
Pray for America
If Romney wins the nomination, lots of us will be disappointed because he appears to be a RINg . To counter that, he may prove he’s going to represent( and honestly listen) all the people by asking Gov. Palin to be his running mate.
I hope it is true. Letting the GOP elite/media picks like Romney and Perry piss all over each other and making it all about them rather than the Constitution, the country and the ruin the democrat party has heaped on us will set the stage for someone to come in and sweep aside the pretty boys. These turds are attempting to buyout the election with money and promises (bribes).
Yes.
But what I fear is that Obammy’s wrecking crew might have some even bigger surprises!
Oy.
Oh yeah, right. Any honesty and promises from mitt the twit is like Lucy promising not to yank away the football at the last minute. He is like obama; promise and say anything to get elected.
Why not, the Perry-Romney thing of, “yah, but, in your book, you said...”, is starting to get old.
She is not running.
If she announces, Wrongney is going to drop to eleventy bazillionth place.
Maybe she’ll take Perry as VP, and educate him on how to be a small-government conservative.
Palin may have learned from McCain’s run. He was out of commission for quite a while and after all the other nominees imploded he was steadfast and survived. I think Palin is being very smart, as usual.
She is running like Secretariat ran the Belmont.
Lies, all lies & from our favorite media outlet; Fox. They lost my respect. Who polls 317 people? I bet Fox knew them all. I don't believe them.
After watching the debate, I'm convinced Sarah is our only hope (why do I not want to use that word? Actually obama stole if from the bible-he thought he was the messiah—he's finding out different)
She has the B...s no one on stage has. She did SO much in such a short time. She did things people told her could not be done. Big oil people tried to threaten her & she looked them in the eye did what was right.
If you want to be inspired, watch “Undefeated”. Sarah is part Reagan, Cain, Bush & the sane part of Ron Paul. I pray she runs; otherwise I will feel hopeless. Like when McCain ran. I only voted for him because of Sarah.
Poke the media in the eye (including Fox, Laura Ingraham...) Don't be afraid to take a close look at Sarah, without talking heads opinion.
I don’t care if the Pope is his running mate, I will never vote for Romney.
“October Surpise...I like that!”
Of late I think it would be better described as an “October Sunrise.” We have been going through a long dark night.
Count on it
INTO THE PIT WITH YOU, BLASPHEMER!
Yeah, because the folks leading the polling have been just so much better, right, Dave?
LOL...stop it!
