And how do you explain that with all those supporters, 3/4 of Republicans don’t want her to run?”

Yeah?
You may want to check the latest polls, mate.:

Palin 47% Obama 47%: Turnaround & Why Marist Poll Is No Fluke

So, there has been much debate about a recent Marist Poll that shows Sarah Palin within 5% of Barack Obama and whether or not this is a fluke. For one thing, the numbers are actually closer to 47% Palin, 47% Obama, a tie. The Marist poll actually oversample Democrats compared to Republicans by 8 points, and oversamples both of them with Independents. (There has been a rise in Indy voters, but not to the tune of almost 40% of the population. Using historical trends, the anticipated 2012 Voter Turnout rate is 36% D, 36% R, 28% I. If your prefer the Rasmussen Partisan Preference it’s essentially a 3-way tie at 33.5% R, 33% D, and 33.5% I. In either scenario, you end up with a 47-47 tie.”

And you may want to explain how someone who according to you, “3/4 of Republicans don’t want her to run” manages to essentially tie with 0bama in a head to head contest.
