David Brooks you quote, NY Times you quote? I would not wrap my garbage in the NY Times!
I honestly believe that Perry though very popular, is again being pushed by the pollsters, just as they pushed Bachmann.
Now in Bachmann`s case the pollsters very clearly manufactured opinion for her that was not real, yes she has some real support no question, but the pollsters manufactured much of her support. This is nothing new for pollsters, NONME of them can be trusted.
Now in Perry`s case vs Bachmann, clearly he has much more support, no question about it, but clearly pollsters are also manufacturing support for Perry as well. Rasmussen wanted to show a poll with Perry way out front, in order to do so he had to leave Governor Palin out, which he had already been doing.
Part of this push by pollsters is aimed at Gov Palin, they are trying to send her a message, they do not want her to run.
Gallup is in on it also, and the rest will follow for sure, but it is all manufactured.
It has already been decided by these same pollsters that when Sarah gets in, they will under no circumstances allow her to be a front runner.
Governor Palin can win the nomination and the White House ABSOLUTELY, but I wager she will never lead at any time in any of these phony MSM/Rep Establishment manufactured polls.
Brooks was mostly parroting what has already been said.
Nuttin new.
Hard to compare a half term governor of a small state to a multi-term governor of what amounts to 25% of America. While I wholeheartedly support Sara’s views and ideas, I would rather support someone who can actually beat Obama in a landslide. We don’t need another close election, or one that is so divisive. The lamestream media has had years to assassinate Sara’s character - in the general public’s mind she is damaged beyond electability. (Not to those of us in here, but to the general public.)
Romney is the left’s choice, not Perry.
No matter how effectively she governed Alaska, we as a nation do not need someone with so little executive experience in the White House again. (Or someone who didn’t even finish their first term.)
Perry isn’t perfect, no doubt. Border issues come to mind instantly. But on the whole, he’s the most logical choice.
I know all the Palin fans will flame me. Our goal should be to unseat the Kenyan with the best choice for our cause.
Are you really that deluded? Even if that were the case for Rasmussen, how do you account for PPP and Gallup, which did include Sarah, and which had almost the exact same margin for Perry in each of them.
It has already been decided by these same pollsters that when Sarah gets in, they will under no circumstances allow her to be a front runner.
I see. It is a great big conspiracy. It cannot possibly be that while Sarah is very popular with conservatives that she is very UNpopular with moderates and independents.
I seriously hope Sarah is more aware of her position than you are, and that she has a serious plan to try to improve her standing with moderates and independents. Because if she doesn't, she might win the nomination (although even that is doubtful under those circumstances), but she would lose the general election in a landslide reminiscent of Reagan/Carter or even Reagan/Mondale.
You spread a lot of conspiracy stuff, there. Gallup *and* the NYT? You forgot Rasmussen http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2012/election_2012_presidential_election/obama_43_perry_40 and the Public Policy Polling.http://wingright.org/2011/08/23/perry-leads-iowa-republican-poll/
Number 1 priority, get OBAMALAMA and his Socialist pigs out of our WhiteHouse!

All of the "pollsters" - left, right, non-partisan etc. - are conspiring against Palin?
You're either some "shrill troll" trying to build a stereotype that Palin supporters are delusional neurotics or you actually are a delusion neurotic.
I don't know which is worse.
A zealot is one who, upon noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, assumes that it will make better soup.
Excuses.
Really? You believe the media and establishment are so afraid of Sarah that they pushed Bachmann AND Perry? Why would they fear someone who, according to all accurate poll data, won’t win as many states as Goldwater did vs. Obama?
No way she wins the nomination. I’ll give anyone 5 to 1 odds on it.
