Would Sarah Palin be running on a statewide ballot for President, or just in overwhelmingly conservative districts?

You're the one that wants us to believe winning in Delaware is a measure of whether a candidate can win a Presidential election. It isn't.

You want us to believe that underfunded and supported rookie political candidates like Angle and Buck compare to someone that was elected the governor of a state and participated in a Presidential election campaign. They don't.

Palin is the only thing Keeping this piece of excrement Huckabee from being president.
This is a good point.
Palin and the Huckster have the exact same constituencies.
Huck's supporters all went to Palin after McCain took her under his left-wing.
Huckabee and Palin would likely bring Mutually Assured Destruction to one another in the GOP primary.

Really? After Rush et al destroyed Huckabee’s conservative creds, there was a mass migration away from Huckabee. That defection is still in place, and for many on the right Palin is the last man standing, the only obviously committed conservative who is also sufficiently politically energizing to give threat of winning. Everyone else is as exciting as a doorknob. So honestly, I don’t get polls that favor Huckabeee, except perhaps that there are more social conservatives who are fiscal liberals than I realized. The Catholic left perhaps? Something is not adding up in this analysis.

Palin consistently loses to 0bama in head to head match-ups.

2 years out, that is an absurdly irrelevant observation.

It betrays hysterical fear, and a willingness to believe what you're told to believe by the pundits.

Their only hope is to short circuit a Palin candidacy, because they know in their heart of hearts that she is an immense threat to Obama.

Whereas some of these other candidates may look good now, they may well fade, while Palin will only wax stronger.

While I have reservations about Palin myself, I'm certainly not going to fall into the trap of dismissing her out of hand just because some meaningless poll tells me to.

I have news for you: the 2012 GOP Presidential nomination is HERS for the taking, if she wants it.

Who are your GOP "frontrunners" again?

"There are many who are in the right place philosophically, and with the experience to back it up.

Name'em.

"You think she has the charisma to win. But if that was true, there would be some empirical evidence to back it up. Instead, all evidence points to the contrary."

Then you're just blind. The crowds she draws and the enthusiasm she generates are more than sufficient "empirical evidence" to "back it up". She is daily overcoming the disadvantage the media put her at during her VP run.

"If Palin somehow becomes the GOP nominee in 2012, what will you say when she loses? “Oh well, better luck next time”? There won’t be an America left for next time. 2012 is our one shot to stop 0bama’s agenda from going into effect. Once it does, there will be no getting rid of it until it bankrupts America. And then we’ll have more serious concerns with the total breakdown of society, the monetary system, law & order, and national defense.

"IF" that happens (which I think highly unlikely in the extreme), then I'll warm up my firearms and join the revolution that will shortly follow. The American colonies were pretty bankrupt after the revolution, but "they" managed to make it. My ancestors among them. I hope to do as well, "if" it happens.

"If we don’t carry Colorado and Nevada, 0bama wins."

LOL. Another absolute prediction of the future. Damn, you must have a straight line to God if you know exactly what the electoral map will look like in two years. But IMO, you're just another "Rovian" idiot.

I do not see anyone much else worth voting for unless you consider this guy.

Hmm... I hovered on the site long enough to see that it's a satire. I guess we can use a bit of levity around this subject. It sure is heated.

Are you kidding me ? As governor Huckabee wanted illegals to vote. That is worse than Obama or anyone.

If Huckabee were president now we would already have Amnesty and all of the horrible legislation the democrat congress put through. In addition since Huckabee calls itself a Republican then the democrats would have won even more seats in the recent election.So Huckabee is worse than Obama and would be if it won in 2012 . That you don't see this shows to me that you are a democrat. . You are campaigning for a socialist called Huckabee. How is that abiding by the rules of this site or helping America?Just stop posting to me. You are on ignore. I don't care what you say. Anyone that wants to see the proof of Huckabee’s real socialist record should look below:

Huckabee is worse than anyone even worse than Obama.

Huckabee was a socialist as Arkansas Governor.

Try reading the link and proof on this linK:

http://cofcc.org/2007/10/conservative-huckabee

Was Mike Huckabee “just like Bill Clinton?” Maybe, but some would actually say he was to the left of Bill Clinton. As Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee’s tax and spend record greatly exceeded former AR Gov. Bill Clinton. He even wanted to tax the internet.

Mike Huckabee is to the left of even Sam Brownback and John McCain on immigration. He claimed God wants us to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. As Governor of Arkansas he advocated letting illegal aliens vote.

. As Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee passed a law that added major restrictions to the Arakansas Homeschool Rights Act passed by Bill Clinton, making Arkansas one of the most hostile state to homeschoolers outside of the Northeast. Homeschoolers in Arkansas had more rights when Clinton left office than when Huckabee left office.

Huckabee did EVERYTHING it could for illegals. Even Obama hasn't tried Amnesty.

This fake, this monstrosity Huckabee is not a man of God as it professes to be. It is lying , saying it is a conservative. It's record proves otherwise.

Palin is the only thing Keeping this piece of excrement Huckabee from being president.

If Palin doesn't run the liberal mainstream media would pick Huckabee as the Republican nominee as they did McCain.

Huckabee would give Amnesty to illegals ,do worse things than Obama , and give the democrats/socialists a permanent super majority.

Palin is our only hope. Huckabee is already in New Hampshire and most Republicans don't know this Hukster’s record and believe what it's lying mouth says.

I think you are a democrat.

Thank you .This bears repeating and should be until people at least on this site see that.

That Huckabee has the same constituency as Palin shows what power the mainstream media has to deceive the American people.
