Both Rove and Palin know what the reality of a Sarah Palin GOP nomination would be.

Aug 22, 2011 ...Rasmussen Poll: Obama Crushes Palin Among Women Voters ..... A new Rasmussen poll shows Obama beating Sarah Palin 50 percent to 33 percent in a 2012 contest -- better than his performance against any other Republican. Among women, Obama is crushing Palin 56 percent to 29 percent. ..... Rasmussen polls tend to predict Republicans will perform better than they actually do on election night.

It would be an Obama landslide of Biblical proportions.

Rove wants to end the teasing game and has raised expectations that Palin will announce on September 3 in order to put Palin on the spot.

Palin wants to continue the teasing game as long as possible and is therefore upset at Rove.

Why does Rove want to end the teasing game?

Because it does nothing but increase attacks upon serious GOP candidates and that helps Obama.

Why does Palin want to drag out the teasing game as long as possible?

Because it hypes her celebrity status which means more TV contract money, more book sales and higher speaking fees.

Take a sneak, troll.

Polybius: It would be an Obama landslide of Biblical proportions.

It would be Obama's dream come true to run against "George
Bush, III", which is exactly what it would be if Perry succeeds
in winning the nomination.

And BTW, despite popular belief among certain paunchy pundits,
Rasmussin is mediocre at best and has yet to be exposed.

Then why bother having elections? We’ll just pick a pollster and let them decide, right?

[Netizen]

I’m beginning to think that you are right and that she won’t run and is milking a possible run for all the money she can. I hope she isn’t but that is what it is starting to look like.

Hey troll, you can take your phony polls and shove them.

What is troubling here is your first point, those dismal polling numbers. We are in the primary season not the coronation season and electability is ONE factor to picking a candidate. The last time we picked a candidate strictly based on him mouthing a philosophy was Barry Goldwater and that ended very, very badly. SP is no Reagan, nobody is Reagan except Reagan. Reagan honed his philosophy, governing style and message over 35 years. Not saying Sarah Palin is some dunderhead ring wing talking Cockatoo channeling Reagan, just that her style, delivery and street smarts when it comes to politics IMHO will not get it done on a national level. The numbers bear this out, not because I want it to be so, but outside the FR echo chamber it just is.

[Blackandproud]

There you go again showing the facts to the fanatics.

[indianrightwinger]

Wow, you said that on FR? Expect flak from Palinbots. Ton of it.

[CajunConservative]

Thank you for explaining it and hopefully people will start seeing the writing on the wall. This election is critical period.

We have got to win this time or else we can kiss the US as we know it goodbye.

I’ve already put a couple notorious thumpers on notice that if they’ve not already been zotted before hand, the day she announces and they’re continuing to trash her, they get the zot. Guaranfreepingteed!
