Whoever emerges between Perry and Bachmann will have the electoral advantage on Palin, who it appears has serious electoral maneuvering problems even among the base. Palin’s strength is the excitement of her supporters and the high commitment of those supporters to her. Her weakness is, simply, that there won’t be enough of them to carry her through the current field of primary candidates. I wrote back in 2009 that Palin’s most likely role in the 2012 cycle would be as a coronator.

What a bunch of crap.

How is it that this analysis, like a lot of the other ABP analyses, states that Palin would be a coronator but not good enough to be a candidate? That is illogical.

If Palin is such a weak candidate, and has her detractors like to say, has such high negatives, candidates wouldn't want her support. They'd be running away from her support.

As for Hot Air, since Michelle Malkin sold the site, it has taken more of a tilt towards the "moderate" Republican, or as I prefer to call it, the squishy middle. Funny how they take a poll, see the winner of the poll, yet determine the one who came in second is the actual winner.

Geez, I get it already, Hot Air doesn't like Gov. Palin as a lot of the "moderate" wing doesn't like her.

Now the big question for all those clairvoyants who know that Palin is not running. Where will Palin supporters go? Bachmann? Maybe, maybe not. Romney? No chance. Perry? probably.

HA is the only “conservative” blog run by trolls. A$$holepundit (a liberal Republican) has been a Romney fan and hates Palin with a passion. Morressy is an “Establishment Republican” who favors T-Paw and Tina was hired for her looks.

Lately HA has really been pimping Bachmann, not because they like Bachmann, but because they see her as a means of stopping Palin.

“Now the big question for all those clairvoyants who know that Palin is not running. Where will Palin supporters go? Bachmann? Maybe, maybe not. Romney? No chance. Perry? probably.”

I agree. Bachmann shot herself in the foot when she hired Rollins and then didn't personally publicly apologize for Rollins comments. Most Palin supporters - I'm one - currently view Bachmann as a self-serving opportunist.

Despite the claims around here that it's gospel truth Bachmann has no chance with Palin supporters because of "backstabbing," the survey showed her only 11% behind Perry as their second choice.
