Excellent summary. Bears repeating. Regards, Mr. Sol.

This also needs to be repeated.

A nugget from today's Pew poll that deserves a post of its own: Forty-one percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters say there is "no chance" they would vote for Sarah Palin in a presidential race. ... That's the second-highest rejection rate of any Republican candidate, exceeded only by Newt Gingrich, who was ruled out by 48 percent of respondents. .... These are not the only reality-check numbers for Palin this week. A Gallup survey released yesterday showed that in a race that includes all the current candidates, plus Palin and Rudy Giuliani, the former Alaska governor would draw 11 percent of the vote — tying Paul for third place.

And those extremely toxic general election numbers are from REPUBLICANS.

Among ALL voters, the August 2011 FOX News Poll showed that 75% of ALL voters believed that Sarah Palin would NOT be a good President.

In the Rasmussen Poll, which usually polls Republicans better than they actually perform in elections, Obama absolutely slaughters Palin in the latest poll:

August 22, 2011 ... Obama 50%, Palin 33% ... If Election Day was right now, President Obama would defeat the former Alaska governor 50% to 33%, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. This marks the first time that the president has risen out of the 40s in hypothetical matchups with any of the major GOP presidential hopefuls.

If the ultimate goal is to defeat Obama in 2012, a Sarah Palin GOP nomination is suicidal.

If the ultimate goal is to defeat Obama in 2012, a Sarah Palin GOP nomination is suicidal.

I'm willing to risk it. At least Palin knows how to fight.
