“Probability of her winning would be poor.”

She would get my vote but I am just a man. The outcome would be determined by the majority of voters, in other words women! Would women flock to the polls to vote for Sarah? I have my doubts. I have seen no evidence yet to indicate that the majority of American women want to see a woman in the top job. They certainly didn’t come through for Elizabeth Dole or Hillary Clinton. No woman is going to get 92 percent of the woman’s vote simply by being a woman. As far as the men go they will NOT vote JUST for a pretty face, they will have to believe in her abilities and direction and many will not even consider voting for a woman regardless. Maybe the only way a woman will be elected is for this race to be between Sarah and Hillary, leaving no other choice. I consider that to be a possibility.
I have in the past asked a number of women if they would vote for a woman as president and it has been an eye opening experience. The most common reaction has been to turn away briefly and after a long pause a soft spoken, “No”.
I don’t expect to see Palin vs Obama happen, mainly because I don’t see Obama running again. The only way I see him going past four years is under martial law and he will be recognized by all as only a figurehead if that happens.

She would get mine as well.
Now what you said about the women you have spoken with doesn’t surprise me at all. That resonates with what I have heard as well which is why I have such a sick feeling in my gut about this. I think women are more into watching “The View” “Oprah” “Ellen” and the like and they portray Palin as some kind of idiot. (which is almost funny considering Joey Behar is blithering) They would rather watch that than actually dig to find out the truth. That type of information is more geared to them than men and it is a bad thing for Palin.
I have said for a long time that Obama will probably not run again. That he most likely will not finish his 4 years. I think after 3 1/2 he will abdicate his throne.
His ego could NEVER withstand the loss he will take at the polls no matter who runs against him. If it is someone who is not politically savaged by the media he may take a serious beating and he doesn’t want that. If that happened it would appear as a mandate to overturn most of not all of his legislation and thus his legacy.
The worst thing that can happen to Obama personally would be for him to be ridiculed as a complete failure. It would be torture to his warped mind to think he was not loved and adored by all beneath him. He is a sick man.
