(sniff . . . sniff) I smell over-cooked poll numbers!!
The denial of the Palin supporters will never end unless Palin finally runs and the reality of what the majority of voters really believe hits them in the face.

Two-thirds of self-described tea party voters said Ms. Palin should not run for president, and 71% of all GOP voters said Ms. Palin should remain on the sidelines. Expand the survey to the entire electorate, and 74% don't think she should run.
Ms. Palin still placed third in a survey of GOP primary voters, polling at 8% behind Mitt Romney with 18% and Texas Gov. Rick Perry with 26%.

I bet Sarah didn't either.
She is not running...nothing to gain, everything to lose.
Isn't the answer to that rather obvious, E. Pluribus Unum?
Have Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry declared, YES or NO, if they will run?
Yes. Huckabee declared that he will NOT run and the others ARE running.
Has Sarah Palin declared, YES or NO, if she will run?
No.
Does Sarah Palin keep hinting that she MAY run?
Yes.
The logic of why you ask the "should run" question about Palin and not the others is because the others already "did run" or "did not run".
You post this same junk in every thread. Several hundred million Americans are natural born. That does not make them presidential material. Not saying Palin isn’t presidential material, but I have seen your same exact post dozens of times. It’s silly.
I like Buddy but he’s got the “I lost to David Duke in the primary.” monkey on his back. He was a good governor but the spoiler extreme nutters pushed their kook. That election was so bad that Edwin Edwards actually used “Vote for the crook, it’s important” as a campaign slogan.
Here’s some good reading about the wild and crazy gubernatorial election of 91.

Sure sound like she's leading to me:
In what appeared to be a major outline of her policies, Sarah Palin dropped a HUGE bombshell on the current Republican field of candidates. She proposed an elimination of ALL corporate taxes, thereby removing all corporate incentives to cozy up to politicians.
The RINO cowboyd would NEVER make such a common sense, workable proposal. He is in bed with far too many corporate interests.
But I'm sure you consider that to be one of his strengths.
Barbara Streisand - lets vote!
That's the question being proposed for Sarah.
Let's take a poll: Ask me if Gingrich should be running.
In 1979, in the PRE-Internet Era and PRE-Cable & PRE-Satellite TV Era, all the information you got was from CBS, NBC, ABC and the newspaper or magazine you subscribed too: Thirty minutes in the evening and as long as it took you to read a few newspaper articles each morning.
Different Era. Different World. Different pace.
In the PRE-Internet Era and PRE-Cable & PRE-Satellite TV Era, the horse race would not start until January of 1980.
In today's Internet Era and Cable & Satellite TV Era, the horse race started long ago.
In November, 1979, Ronald Reagan had a large, professional, well-oiled political and financial machine ready to roll.
In August, 2011, Sarah Palin has taken no steps to even begin to create such a political machine and the major donors and the professional campaign managers, consultants and staff have already been taken by other candidates. Rick Perry announced last month but his preparation of his campaign infrastructure began months before.
In the slow moving PRE-Internet Era and PRE-Cable & PRE-Satellite TV Era, you could wait until the middle of November to declare without problems.
In the fast paced Internet Era and Cable & Satellite TV Era, waiting until the middle of November guarantees defeat because the filing deadline for the Florida primary is October 31 and the filing deadline for the South Carolina primary is the following day.
Different Era. Different World. Different pace.
Time is on her side.
We need Sarah in the race to push Perry aside.
Rick Perry has surged to the front even though he is a flawed candidate. But too many people are in a swoon without looking closely at his background. That is how we got Commander Zero in the White House.
None of the others vying for the nomination seem to have the strength to knock him out of the #1 spot.
The attention span of the average person in the Internet age is way shorter than it was in the time of Reagan.
The average thought, argument, logical stance, belief, etc., is more ill-conceived and less thought-out now as opposed to then. People are unmistakeably stupider and more intellectually lazy.
The reporting is more bogus, specious, simple-minded, and slogan- and meme-driven than it was thirty years ago.
Sarah by waiting is compensating for all this.
By the time she announces, all the other guys will be way stale.
She knows what she is doing, and she is playing the media, not the other way around. That should tell you something about her as a strategist.
Enjoyed reading your link about the election free for all. Especially liked Edwards use of the quote “You are as young as the woman you feel.” Him and is 50 years younger chick.
Then I looked for his Tarriff speech which is linked below. It is long, but informative and at the end has a lot more concrete proposals than most of the other GOP candidates. He really understands import/export issues from personal business experience.

Especially when Palin has decided not to establish the professional campaign and financing infrastructure needed to get her message out beyond her extremely loyal followers that, according to the latest polls, constitute approximately 11% of the GOP voters.
If Palin does announce, it seems that the game plan will be more "Preaching to the Choir" with the same results.
An undecided Independent voter is not going to dish out $4.79 for the privilege of watching "The Undefeated" on Pay-per-View.
With the recent polling, Palin is no threat to the two leading GOP primary front-runners but the "Palin Thing" is having a negative effect on the psyche of her 11% of the GOP with potentially very destructive consequences in the effort to defeat Obama in the general election.
Already, you hear talk of boycotting the general election or writing in "Palin" in the general election if Palin is not the GOP nominee. As a Palin supporter posted on Free Republic a couple of days ago, "If Sarah does not get it, Obama can have it."
It’s been said many times, but I’ll repeat it here because it is not only true but uplifting- the reason the MSM are in a white knuckled panic over Sarah is because she connects with middle America like no other politician since Reagan. The level of attack directed against Sarah is a yardstick by which we can measure her electability. She will be attacked viciously by the left, but subtly by the Eastern Establishment Wall Street right. They’ll do stuff like push a Sarah-surrogate Bachmann into the limelight which is the same “out of nowhere” phenomenon we saw with Obama’s subversion of Hillary’s shoe in candidacy. Wall Street is to be feared by true Americans. We need to wage war against the Fed, the big banks, the Bilderberger circles. They constitute an oligarch aristocracy, against which patriots gave their lives to create this nation.
Sarah is independent of Wall Street and understands that their ethicless manipulation of debt instruments for short term gain basically destroyed America’s economy in a time of war. With Sarah elected, Wall Street is looking at meeting new and exiting friends at the Clank Hotel.

100% of me thinks too many people use public opinion polls as a substitute for thinking for themselves and for reasoned argument.
That is one good looking Apple picture you posted. ;)
Perry took on the almighty Fed. Thats pretty daring.
And yes, I do like what Sarah said and more people would listen to her if she was an announced candidate.
Listen, I really like Sarah but just dont think she is running and don’t think she would win the nomination. Sorry!
I forget.
What exactly was it that he accomplished?
Other than passing air through his vocal chords, I mean.
