“The run for president is a popularity contest, not who’s the most qualified.”

Then Palin is your perfect candidate. Except that Palin is not popular with the independent, swing and middle road voters she would need to win.

Epic fail and the sad part is you are completely blind to the political reality of a Palin candidacy. But supporters will keep on pushing her because they believe she has been chosen by God to be the next President.

And she’ll keep cashing the checks.

Translation:

“support Mitt Romney”

Actually Reagan was popular with swing voters either until very late in the General Election campaign.

Actually, Bob - I'm not now promoting her for POTUS, I'm just saying that she's doing a good service for conservatives and making a little money for her family - just like you would do if anyone would listen to you and pay you to talk.

The simple fact that you don't view the run for POTUS as a popularity contest is very telling - you are the one that's lost in space - a conservative space cadet.

Why not just leave Palin supporters alone - post to your favorite candidate thread or start one - just get lost when Palin's name come up, we all will appreciate it.

Also, noting that she's making money as a bad thing is really more than passingly strange, if you are a conservative and a capitalist - perhaps you are not?
