I think Palin's unfavoribles are wide, but less than an inch deep

Posted on 09/18/2011 3:07:02 PM PDT by se_ohio_young_conservative

Obviously there is no logical reason for her unfavorables in the polls to be what they are. Did she do anything like let an intern give her oral sex or get involved in some disasterous scandal ? absolutely not. There is NOTHING on her. They have looked and looked and looked. Nobody has found a thing. She seems to be the kind of leader that the American people are wanting to represent them.

They do. I contend to you that her unfavoribles mean NOTHING. It is useless polling data and should have no impact on who wins the nomination in 2012. If she gets the nomination, she would win electoral votes based on national and global events (the economy, ect)

I believe the number of Americans who hate her with a passion is very very small. The unfavoribles you see in the polls are a result of some very shallow group think left over from the 2012. Nobody has seen Saraj Palin run her own national campaign. It would not take much at all to turn those numbers inside out.

What we see here is that the anti palin people in this country are just very loud. Conservatives hear them and for some reason think the high volume of their voice mean they have huge numbers. Even some here on FR get their information from people who hate them and then they are ignorant enough to toss it around like it is fact !

“there is no logical reason for her unfavorables”

What’s logic have to do with it? Dems hate her because they think she is a hillbilly idiot, Republicans dislike her because they think she has no chance of winning, women don’t trust her because they think she’s a phony.

It’s really not that hard to understand.

She didn’t do anything wrong. She just needs to present herself better.

“There is NOTHING on her”

It’s media manufactured. And they will do it over and over again until we make this subtle controlling propaganda a big issue. People need to SEE it.

They have got very good at propaganda because they use it in feedback with polling.

She needs to be the Palin that existed prior to the VP campaign. I remember watching one of the Alaska governor debates and wondered what happened to that Palin?

if the reasons are that shallow, they can be changed in a hurry. there is no strong inner conviction among the voters behind her unfavoribility

its nowhere near an absolute

Correct. Reagan was able to eliminate his unfavorables. Sarah would be able to as well. I find it laughable that so many people think Perry has things locked up 5 months before the first primary.

I think Sarah will jump in within the next two weeks.

Palin is one of those people who presents herself the best when all odds are against her. Thats why I still think she might give it a shot.

She carries an awfully heavy load on her shoulders, and her enemies are relentless. They’ve attacked her children, tried to burn down her church, conspired to bankrupt her and her family, accused her of complicity in mass murder, and with this week, pushed yet another series of outlandish smears to destroy her. It’s really become something of an epic battle of good versus evil, moreso than just a simple political story. Unfortunately, it appears evil has the upper-hand in this country. At least at this moment in time.

She lost a fair amount of support when she left the governorship in the middle of her term.

You would be wrong there. She runs in the middle of the pack for intensity even though she has near 100% name recognition. I can't see where there are people in the party that she can bring over to her side. It appears that she is stuck with the bad PR even if it is a wrong impression of her.

I agree she does not deserve the negatives. The Libs had to try to destroy her because she scared them. Then the establishment republicans joined in for the same reason. She can and will turn it around if she gets in. We will see. If not we are in trouble. Lots of people on this site think Perry is a conservative and there is NO reason except they want to believe it. I love in Texas and voted for him for gov but only because the people he was running against were worse than he was and Governor of Texas is not in a position to do too much damage because of his limited power in our constitution. But being just a placeholder in the next cycle will be very bad. No way for Romney or Perry. We need someone who will really attempt to change the country back to what it once was.

Call me crazy but if Sarah Palin runs the media will favor her because she is a better story.

“conspired to bankrupt her and her family,” using the ethics law she championed as their weapon of choice.

I would like to see her run...even if she does not win. She brings MUCH to the party, so to speak. She raises the bar for the Repubs. She motivates groups of people. She is a patriot that puts country and Constitution before self.

Whatever she decides to do, she is a positive, motivating force that scares the crap out of the far left DemonRATS.

It is all good. Regardless.

Yep methinks you got it!! Sarah given the chance connects with folks like no one else in my lifetime except maybe RFK. OK I am old but Sarah is special like few others and I hope she gives it a go.
