Despite some news reports suggesting otherwise, a new poll shows that Sarah Palin was a definite asset to John McCain in his run for the White House.

According to a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, 69 percent of Republican voters say the Alaska governor helped McCain’s bid for the presidency. Twenty percent of GOP voters said she hurt the ticket, six percent said she had no effect, and 5 percent were undecided.

Other results of the poll:

91 percent of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin.

65 percent of Republicans have a very favorable view of Palin.

8 percent of Republicans have an unfavorable view of Palin.

3 percent of Republicans have a very unfavorable view of Palin.

64 percent of Republicans say Palin is their top choice for the GOP 2012 presidential nominee.

12 percent of Republicans say Mike Huckabee is their top choice for the GOP 2012 presidential nominee.

11 percent of Republicans say Mitt Romney is their top choice for the GOP 2012 presidential nominee.

Yeah, and I’m sure your co-worker believed that the less experienced Obambi was a better choice for POTUS than Governor Palin was for VP.

I’m so sick of that line about Palin - people have to totally ignore Obambi’s actual lack of exec. experience to be able to rag on Sarah Palin.

The liberals...and the RINOs too...fear Sarah.

The latter even more than the former, based upon the increasingly painicky and shrill "OMG SARAH PALIN IZ ANTI-CHRIST!!!!11!!!!" postings hereabouts.

The more she drives the squishy "moderates" and RINOs crazy, the more I realize she's THE perfect choice for 2012. ;)

> I love Sarah, but the term “rock star” just ain’t what it used to be!

Gov. Palin is a "star". A "political star". NOT a "rock star".

It cheapens her, and renders the term "rock star" meaningless, to describe her as one. I'm sick of hearing and seeing this usage. It's just plain stupid and ignorant.

She is a political star.

In the election run-up I created a post, with everything I could find across the web to boost Sarah, and slam Duh1™:

Sarah Palin- links, from the beginning:

Click the picture:

I will continue to update it- because, Sarah is the future for Conservatism. All those other tired Republican retreads- are so last century...

I have always disliked McLame. I voted for him only because he was better than the other clown.
I do however fully support Saracuda. She is a real conservative Republican. Not a damned RINO like McLame and so many others.
Hey pubbies, when ya get back in power (if ever) ya going to spend like a bunch of sick fools again? Stupids.

The ones most concerned with Palin were the libs..the same people that wouldnt vote for a republican anyways

Wrong. I have grave concerns about Palin, and I voted for her. Or more accurately, I voted for the ticket she was on.
