Maybe because 3/4 of Republicans have already attached their cart to another horse? A Romney supporter or a Gingrich supporter or a Bachman supporter might say “no” when asked if they want Palin to run. Is that so hard to understand? The key question is not “do you want her to run?” The key question is “if she runs, and she wins the nomination, will you vote for her?” I would bet that 90% or more of Republicans would say yes, if they were being honest. The difference between her and everyone else, including Obama, is that the people who support her are ready to crawl across hot coals to do it. Nobody has the support intensity that she does. The libs know it, and that’s why she terrifies them so badly.
Republicans will vote for just about anyone against Obama.
The point is Palin would NOT get the nomination.
Palin lost the goodwill of a large number of her supporters, because of her nonserious teasing. And if she thinks she can just snap her finger and they will stampede to her side, she is mistaken.
The rest are in the arena, as she herself pointed out, while she is cashing the checks from FoxNews.
“if she runs, and she wins the nomination, will you vote for her?”
Yes, but that is the same answer I’ll give for any “R” nominee.
The question is: will she run third party? Because that will doom the R nominee and, in all likelihood give us 4 more years of the big O.
GOD FORBID!
