60% Say Palin Run Would Hurt the GOP
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 9/2/11 | Rasmussen

Posted on 09/02/2011 12:33:40 PM PDT by CA Conservative

A plurality (47%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that Palin will enter the presidential race, but that includes only 13% who feel it’s Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 35% think a Palin bid is unlikely, but just five percent (5%) say it’s Not At All Likely. Eighteen percent (18%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Only 18% of voters think it would be good for Republicans if Palin entered the race. Sixty percent (60%) say it would be bad for the party, while 11% predict it would have no impact. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.

Even most Republicans (52%) believe it would be bad for the GOP if Palin threw her hat in the ring, a view shared by 74% of Democrats and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party.

Some will learn a hard lesson when they try that (R) crap if Romney is the nominee.

Sarah Palin is the back stabber. Have you seen “The Undefeated”? This film stabbed Boehner, Cantor and McConnell in the back by alleging they are corrupt and unethical. Sarah Palin is a slanderer.

A laughable lie. How do you keep a straight face in spouting this nonsense?

Time for another “purge”? They have become quite famous on this shrinking forum since 2007.

Heck, why not just get rid of everybody who does not support your candidate? That will fix it for sure.

It is WRONG to allege that someone is corrupt without producing evidence. You obviously do not care that the Palin film did this. Either produce the evidence or admit it is WRONG!!

Poor Sarah Palin, she was so victimized she now makes $12 million a year. This woman is crying all the way to the bank and yet the Palinistas here on FR still want to portray her as some kind of victim. A victim, she is not. '

Again, too damn bad. If we have more conservatives in the race, Romney wouldn’t’ be a problem, now would he?

I have a better idea. How about if posters behave like adults and don’t troll candidate threads simply to toss flame bait?

Sorry, 62 & 83 on this thread. Just noticed that both are from the same poster (Virgina Roadrunner)...”will write in Palin...let the ground burn...no Palin no peace”.

Where are you going to get enough pure people to win an election? It is NOT POSSIBLE!!

If you are going to demand purity, you're going to have to die first and then get to heaven, because heaven, this isn't.

First, 100% of me believes that entirely too many people use public opinion polls as a substitute for thinking for themselves and reasoned argument.

Second, how’s that work? If she gets in, either these guys can make the sale to a majority of the GOP primary voters that they’re better than she is, or they can’t. If they can, especially if she melts down and proves the wacko idiot diva caricature wasn’t really a caricature, they win, she loses, it’s all fair and square, and we unite and fight the general. No harm done (or if there is, it’ll be by that candidate, not her). I don’t think that’s going to happen, at least not that she’s going to melt down, I’m just putting that up for the sake of the argument. If not and she wins the nomination and wins the general...no harm done. If not and she wins the nomination and loses the general...that means these other guys (and Bachmann) lost to the loser. If they couldn’t make the sale against her, how were they going to make the sale against Teh Awesome? What harm would she have done to the GOP that they wouldn’t have made worse? Personally, I think trying to bigfoot her out of this thing causes more damage and ill will than backing off and letting her run or not as she decides.

The poster stated "Many, many". That's one.

Once again, you've proven you need glasses and a better hearing aid. You do know that Palin didn't make the film, right? You are the one alleging slander so the onus is on you to produce the evidence. Until then, you are guilty of the very thing you accuse Palin of.

Crying all the way to the bank? I see you were happy enough to spend money on the movie. Seems you aren't quite as smart as you think if the movie managed to pry money out of your hands.
