I don't believe that it makes any difference whether Huckabee, Trump or any of the others run. None of them has faced a campaign yet. All of them are weak. These polls, to the extent they are not rigged (as PPP frequently does), are measuring phantoms, scenarios where there is never any scrutiny of the candidates they are measuring.

Huckabee recently told his SC people that it is ok if they move on to another candidate...pretty much giving the impression that he is dropping out...now if we can just get Mittens and Trump(and a few others) to bug out, maybe we can get a conservative or 2 into the mix

I am of much the same opinion. Romney is already a dead man walking, Trump is a pop-bottle rocket.

I’ll be voting for Sarah Palin, Liberty, our Constitution and the American Exceptionalism. Period.

Brice:

I agree that Sarah Palin is battle-hardened and the other alleged contenders simply are not. Huckabee is probably out, already. Romney will hang in until he fails to get primary votes and the contributions dry up, although the leftmedia will try to prop him up as long as possible as, what they hope, will be an 'alternative' to the conservative candidate, Sarah Palin, whom the mediaq will demonize as 'extreme', 'unelectable' and, my favorite, 'controversial' (but only if you're a liberal). Gingrich has never had much traction and won't go very far. Trump, obviously, is the 'wild card' in the deck but I expect that he'll announce he's not running when his TV show ends in 3 weeks. Too expensive - and who would want the financial colonoscopy a billionaire like Trump would have to endure? If that weren't enough, there would be the attacks on every aspect of his life, including his family. Who could endure that and come up victorious?

Oh, wait, Sarah Palin already has. Making her ready and able to withstand the barrage the leftmedia will unload on her if and when she announces her candidacy for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. Fortunately, at this point, the left doesn't really have much ammunition. In terms of attacking Sarah Palin, they peaked too soon. Loons such as Andrew Sullivan ranting about toddler Trig Palin not being Tod and Sarah's natural child is so vile that it disgusts most sane people so that kind of garbage backfires on the Palin-hating left. The GOP elites are rightfully losing their grip on the nominating process. Thank God. We can't afford another McCain. This election could well be Americas last chance to get it right. Sarah Palin isn't a messiah or superwoman but an intelligent, resourceful, bold and patriotic leader who can at least begin to turn the Titanic that is the United States away from the iceberg that is the socialist path we're on, now. That way lies disaster. Sarah Palin offers a realistic alternative. I pray that she runs and if she does, I believe she'll win the nomination and the presidency. She'll have my vote!

"Since it is early, the cowardly pretenders in the GOP still have the luxury of "hanging back" while Palin takes the shots, but their time is running out. They will soon have to come out from behind (or under) the rocks which are protecting them. Every one of them has boxcars full of baggage."

This is true. Not ONE of them has even one ball. Sarah's guts and smarts are going to win the day. I was "on the fence" about her as a candidate for a long time, even though I live in Wasilla, and love her to pieces. I just wasn't really sure if she was going to jump in or not. As time has gone by, she has shown her mettle. She has proved time and again that she has more of what it takes than the whole rest of the field combined. I sincerely believe that there is not a single candidate out there who has her qualifications and experience.

These guys do not just represent "targets of opportunity" in a GOP primary. They are swollen pustules which will almost explode on their own. For Palin, this lineup might be denominated "the Great 2012 Turkey Shoot."

I owe the author a beer for that one - LOL!

Another Saturday gem, BC. Thanks.

When the white hot rhetorical and political fire is aimed at her opponents (as it will be) and they fold, those of us who support Sarah Palin will try not to gloat.

Not me. I plan to gloat...LOL.

Great post. I hope you are right. Most times I feel she can do it, but if she falters the press will crucify her as they have. There has to be a way to close our primaries to republicans only, and to have for once Our Choice as moderator of a debate or two. No mainstream libs as moderators!
