That's my primary concern. I love Palin, but I don't believe there's any way in hell she can win a national election. I just don't see where the 270 electoral votes would come from to elect her. I'd love to be proven wrong.
Yeah sure. In a Obama/Palin matchup, the voters in Virginia, N. Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada...etc would vote for Obama over Palin.
They prefer Socialism over Freedom, right?
name one state McCain won that palin would lose?
there are none. that gives her 173 out of the gate. she will take Va and NC back for the GOP. that’s 28 possibly 30 after census. Thats 201. while FL would be a battleground state the christians should give FL to Palin that’s another 27.
OH and IN both with large conservative christian populations could very easily fall into Palin’s colume that’s another 31. CO from polls show a major shift towards the GOP since Obama’s election same for IW. that’s 16 more. and that gives you 275. NV will most likely elect Palin also for another 5 and cushion.
add in the census realignment and it could easily get to 285.
With any of the other “front runners the battle grounds switch and the south comes into play has the minority population trump a lack of voters sitting home (this was how Mcain lost VA and NC)
All of this is very doable for a conservative. with Palin the battlegrounds switch to the states mentioned above and possible brings in some of the upper midwest like MI, MN etc
Name (Just) one Republican that can beat Sarah Palin in the primaries? You have to win the primaries first.
Who do you think has the best chance? I know the odd are against that person right now. Please name just one?
GO SARAH GO RUN SARAH RUN
