Editor's note: This is another in a series of "WND/WENZEL POLLS" conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

Former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has said that the 2012 run for the Oval Office will be an out-of-the-box event. But just what did she mean?

Voters eventually will find out, presumably. But just in case her "out-of-the-box" reference means something as surprising as challenging Barack Obama in a Democratic Party primary, Fritz Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies included the scenario in his newest poll on the coming election.

The telephone survey was conducted Sept. 23-27 and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 2.91 percentage points.

The results were startling.

"Just 3 percent of Republicans and 17 percent of independents said they planned to vote in their state's Democratic Party primary or caucus," explained Wenzel, "but if you add Sarah Palin to the equation, something interesting occurs. Asked whether they would participate in the Democratic Party's primary or caucus in their state if Sarah Palin were to enter the Democratic Party's race for the presidential nomination against Obama, the numbers increased substantially. Republican participation jumped from 3 percent to 22 percent, and independent voter participation jumped from 17 percent to 31 percent."

He said in a head-to-head matchup among Democratic Party voters, Palin still draws support away from Obama.....

“I do believe that there’s a lot of entertainment value and ratings value involved in this quasi-reality show that is being created through the GOP primary at this point,” - Sarah Palin (right again)

I was being sarcastic.

I was quoting the poll that has been quoted at me back at the Perrywinkies.

Palin in the Democrat primary would be hilarious!!! What a con job she could pull off with that. Her supporters know that she’s no Dem and would flock to vote for her. She’d beat Obama hands down. Then it’d be Palin v. GOP and she’d probably be more conservative than any of them.

Recent polls tell us that 66.8147% of the Tea Party wants Palin to stay out of the race.

Were these "Recent Polls" conducted by "The Experts" that the legacy media presents as the final authority on all galactic events?

Good heavens! Palin entering the Democratic Presidential primaries certainly would qualify as "unconventional."

I'd never say "never" but . . . this seems even more far-fetched than Palin running as an independent.

It's really, really, REALLY fun to contemplate as a thought experiment, though . . . the sheer number of exploded heads in both the Democrat and Republican Parties alone . . . hooo baby . . .
