Sarah Palin said some amazing and terrific things the other day

[CommieCutter]

The New York Times, in which a columnist points out that we’re so used to goofiness coming from Palin

Correction: you're so used to getting away with exaggerating, or making up goofiness and getting away with it.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Read the last part where they say she shouldn’t run. That’s what they’re really up to.

[munin]

Good, thanks

[P-Marlowe]

That was canned BS rhetoric, prepared by the McCain people, I guarantee. Those are not Sarah’s words. Bob

But SHE SAID THOSE WORDS. It may have been canned BS fed to her by some campaign lackey, but when they came out of her mouth SHE OWNED THEM!!!

So was she being dishonest, or was she really in favor of the TARP bailout?

I believe she was really in favor of the TARP bailouts.

But a lot of her current supporters think she was lying.

I don't get it.

[B-Cause]

it sounds like she is planning to do to washington what she did for alaska~! and please, dear God let her be successful !!!

AMEN!

Rep. Ron Paul has already run a third party campaign:

And let us pray that Sarah Palin doesn't do something that stupid.

[Steelfish]

True. Health premiums.

[cynwoody]

IMO she’s going to go third party.

A moronic move. This is a two party country. To go third party and have any hope of winning, you first have to demolish the GOP to the point of insignificance. That's a tall order.

The task at hand is to take over the GOP and marginalize the establishment RINOs.

And to vote for the GOP nominee, no matter who it is — even Willard, although, thanks to Rick Perry, that now seems unlikely.

What polls?

Well, here are just a few from the last 2 years:

Source	Date		A-D-U
WaPo	3/27/10		37-55-8
NBC/WSJ	6/24/10		29-52-19
CBS	10/6/10		22-48-29
Gallup	1/19/11		38-53-9
CNN	1/19/11		38-56-6
Bloomberg	3/10/11		28-60-12
NBC/WSJ	6/15/11		24-54-22

Note: A-D-U = Approval-Disapproval-Undecided

So as you can see, her disapproval rating is pretty consistent over a long time and across all polling companies and methodologies.

[CommieCutter]

You think people would have gotten a clue when all those emails were released and they didn’t find anything. There was not ONE thing they could spin and make it appear to be a possible scandal. She was that clean. I still can’t believe it...

[MaxMax]

Many complain that the current runners are politicians and we need another type of leader,
then one comes along and isn't politician enough.

If she runs, she wins against the GOP.

IMO Perry and Romney are no better than Bush43/ McCain /and Dole.
Kick them all in the balls like Reagan did!!

[Niteflyr]

Hard to be against the political elite when you ran with John McCain.

[Sea Parrot]

Just another PDS concern idjit.

[CA Conservative]

Your math is a little more than weird.

No. Take a look at my post with the poll results. Sarah has polled between 50-60% disapproval rating for almost 2 years straight. That is very persistent negatives. The latest numbers I have seen show her negatives over 60%, but I am giving her the benefit of ascribing the lower negative number to her. She has also consistently had more than 50% of people polled say they would not vote for her.

[CommieCutter]

If the Times occasionally starts writing articles like this it might help lift the fog. Now we’re finally getting some facts about this women from the State run media instead of the usual “she’s stupid” demagoguery.

[Sea Parrot]

Another PDS, fill in the blanks__________________ _______________ ________________.

[Sea Parrot]

Another one of the, she is not good enough to run for president, but she would make a great diva to irritate the elites.

[Freedom56v2]

Well, I have not heard or seen any indication in any reputable source that she will run third party , so I don’t think she will be WORSE...

for God’s sake, she was the GOP VP NOMINEE.

[little jeremiah]

Where are all the questions and details?

Polls are used to push opinions generally, rather than gauge opinions. Without seeing the details that I mentioned above, they’re pretty useless.

[Windflier]

IMO she’s going to go third party

You haven't read her book, "Going Rogue", have you?

She'll never go third party.
