Wow. That’s a big poll. Four people. What’s the margin of error on that thing?

Oh, I did. It’s a Frank Luntz focus group. Which hardly justifies the headline.

But whatever. Good night.

If he was trumpeting Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo, we’d never hear the end of it. Face it: She isn’t going away!!

If anyone is a troll here it is EV, not those such as pissant. The latter may not cotton to Palin but he wants the best for America. The former is interested only in attracting suckers donors to the AIP.

Given the endless campaign by the media to destroy her this video is a representation of her resilience. Those folks were genuinely receptive to Palin being elected. I’m sure FOX would have loved it if no one raised their hands. Watch the video.

I watched the segment and most of the group yelled Huckabee when Luntz first asked who they want for President. They also like Gingrich; one lady liked Romney. Christie was also mention, IIRC. Luntz then asked about Palin, and most would also like her for a candidate with about 3 holding up their hands when asked who didn’t want her for President. On the whole, Huckabee is their first choice. I hope they reconsider.

I dont know about her. I get this feeling from her that she is another typical lying politician who would say anything.

I’ve met her personally on the campaign trail..didnt talk a lot but we did talk. If first impressions mean anything, she didnt hit it well with me.

Reminds me of Mitt For Brains Romney.

Meanwhile, FOX and the mainstream GOP RINOs are backing Romney and looking at Chris “The Islamophile” CHristie.

Tell you what. If she is as good as some claim, then she should have called the GB Packers and gave them congrats right? Just for political points right? I mean if she is going to run one would think you’d think ahead of your opponent.

Obama is yet to call the champs. Sarah should have done it ASAP after that game.

Now you might say, so what? So what?! Over 100 million poeple watched that game and she could have plugged into 100 million people all in one swift move.

Politicians are DUMB!

I guess smoked corn screws your cognitive dissonance. How can these Iowans believe, based on record and personality, that Huckleberry is the candidate? I would be willing to bet a dollar that IF huckleberry is the nominee, Obama or a 527 group will actually run a commercial portraying Huckleberry as Gomer Pyle.

“I get this feeling from her that she is another typical lying politician who would say anything.”

Amazing. You’ve managed to get it exactly backwards.

Palin is the least political and the most sincere of all of them. (Except Bachmann, who seems to equal Palin in this regard.)

Of what I did see of the show last night, the crowd seemed very approving that she at least try to run. All I ask is for her to get a fair chance to make her case and let us all see if she can make the cut.

That's all we can ask for anyone. People who won't give her that much are probably not worth arguing the point with.

Her political death has been greatly exaggerated it would seems.

The meme from the media that gop voters do not want her to run is also blown away her. IA voters not only want her to run but they are open to her positions and candidacy. which tells me most polls on Palin lately are complete bullcrap and trying to frame the debate instead of presenting the facts on the ground.

Huck isn't running. He is broke, pulled out of his IA speech, has booked a cruise tour in mid summer to AK. Building a $3 million home in FL and just signed a contract with Fox for his show.

All signs are pointing to Huck not being in the race this go around. His final nail in the coffin is reports say his wife is 100% against him running.....

stranger thinks have happened but the signs at this time point to him not running. I think the pollsters simply include him in the polls to make it appear Palin is tied with Mitt. Take Huck out of the Polls and Palin will be up by 10 to 15 pts on Mitt and the entire meme of the MSM would be destroyed....
