"Palin consistently loses to 0bama in head to head match-ups. Often, her name is the only one that loses to 0bama. Believe these polls. We can’t afford to dismiss them."

See "Reagan polls" with the same precise standing. You simply CANNOT draw conclusions from polls this far out from elections.

"Palin is a known entity. She has near universal name ID already. She is not going to pick up votes. People have already made up their minds. She has no room for improvement."

Balderdash. The "media image" of Palin is nothing like the reality. With every step she takes, she is overcoming that image, in precisely the same way that Reagan did....by "bypassing" the media and making her case directly with the people. And by the time she runs, she will be both Teflon-coated and bullet-proof, as they will have cast all their stones, and have none left, even more so than Reagan.

I forgot about that. I think a week before the election, Reagan was still polling behind Carter!

Sorry, but with every step Palin takes, she stays right where she’s been. There numbers are not there for her to win nationally. She’s the only potential Republican candidate to lose to 0bama in every single poll taken.

Is our nation really worth risking for you to see Palin run for president?
Why?

Seriously, why?
Our future hangs in the balance.
Palin is not the only one who can save it.
She is no saviour at all.
At least not for us.
For 0bama and the Democrats, perhaps.

Just as Sharron Angle was the only one that Reid could beat, Palin is the only one 0bama can beat.
And 0bama wants to run against Palin just as Reid wanted to run against Angle.
Learn from that, and let’s not repeat the same mistakes over and over.

I wanted Sharron Angle to win just as much as anyone, both in the primary and in the general.
And I believed the power of the Tea Party would sweep her into office.
But I was wrong. We all were.
I am capable of learning from my mistakes.
Are you?
Will you?

I hope our side does before it is too late.
We’ve got less than 15 months to figure it out.
