Is this poll taken before or after her resignation.
Interesting from your link.
“When it comes to the general election though, she does the worst of the GOP contenders against Barack Obama. Our four surveys on it so far have shown her trailing the President by an average of 16 points nationally, an outcome that would likely give Obama well over 400 electoral votes.”
Call me wrong but I thought that PPP survey had some very murkey looking numbers under the surface (not good for Sarah).
because people were stupid enough as they would be with Pawlenty, Romeny, Huck to make that same mistake.
Romney sat snug in France during the View nam war.
He has 5 son, not one has served in the military.
Gov. Palin’s son serves in Iraq.
Unfortunate perhaps but not a disqualifier.
Here you go:

Don't assume the American people won't realize the error of their ways. In many respects, it was Obama vs. GWB III in the last election. Mussolini could have won that election if he ran as a Democrat.
If things are bad as I'm afraid they will be in 2012, it's not unreasonable to presume that the electorate will place a premium on experience in a way that they didn't in the last election. Reagan's eight year track record in elected office and 40 year public record served him in very good stead when voters looked at him vs. Carter.
Really! Someone has run the numbers on this? They've done statistically valid surveys on the issue and have published results. Can you report on their efforts? Or are you simply expressing an opinion? If the latter, then that's OK. Nothing wrong with opinions. Everyone has them.
More than anyone, I would say 0bamatrons. Wouldn't you?
I understand what you are saying, but I think it is premature to assess whether she has damaged herself. At this point we can only assess whether people think that she has damaged herself. Much of this will depend on how she uses her time between now and 2010. She could get involved with the GOP, and stay in the public eye, which would probably work out well because she is so popular. Or, she could stay home and work on a book, which might not be such a good idea.
I hope that we continue to see more of her. I like her, and I think she is the very best chance that the GOP has to regain some of its power.

What a stupid trailer trash idiot /s.
Trouble is, the quote isn't from Plato. Likewise, in her resignation speech she incorrectly attributed a quotation from MacArthur. Next some smarmy MSM reporter will read his Plato Cliff notes, and ask her whether Plato is her favorite Roman philosopher.
Is socialized medicine under Romney likely to be better than the same under Obama?
“Yep and you are pretty much right. He had jack for experience. Except he IS president NOW. You don’t get any more experience for president than by holding the office of president.”
its actually a big disadvantage for him. He was more comfortable and popular talking “hope n change”. Now the rubber has hit the road, he’s going to have to justify the mess, the press won’t be able to deny/coverup everything. And he can’t wax lyrically about nothing.
He may be more experienced, he is way more vulnerable.
BTW, Palin did a great job taking the fight to Obama. Have you heard much about his nomination acceptance speech other then Palin put down comments in her convention speech? Romney et al have done a woeful job...it’ll continue like that.
One good reason: It takes 9 hours and 15 minutes (with minimal stopover) to fly from Anchorage, Alaska to New York City. Anyone want to sit on an airplane for 9 hours and 15 minutes?
Anyone who yelled “yes” needs to sit in their room for 9 hours and 15 minutes.
Yes and that sickens me more than you can know... that evil pos has destroyed more of America in six months than any other president in our history... and with catah and his record to date... that is truly saying something.

Trouble is, it is, Try again.
“the wake of Sarah Palin’s now well covered announcement last Friday that she will soon step down as Governor of Alaska, more than a few commentators have declared her political career over. While I’m not about to agree that her bizarre resignation represents a “shrewd move” — it wasn’t — I do think proclamations of her political death are a bit premature.”

“But let’s go back to those Pew Research favorable ratings among Republicans. Her numbers were especially strong, according to the Pew report, among conservative Republicans (80% favorable) and white evangelical Republicans (84%). These ratings also have depth: Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Republicans, 31% of white evangelical Republicans and 32% of conservative Republicans report “very favorable” impression of Palin (thanks to the Pew Research Center for sharing those additional results).
Looking at those numbers, I would argue that — as of last week, at least — Sarah Palin was the Republican best positioned to emulate the tactical model employed by Barack Obama in seeking the Democratic nomination in 2008. Remember that Obama did not begin as the first choice of party insiders or as a “front runner” in horse-race polls. Our trend estimate of vote preference results showed him as the choice of less than 20% of Democrats in late 2006. But Obama started with a real base, a core of true believers that showed up in big numbers whenever Obama gave a speech.”
Another tale on Palins numbers with Republicans, going into more depth, from pollster.com

It seems to me that is exactly what Palin will try to do, a grassroots campaign, based on strongly supportive core block.
That's OK. Like I said, everyone has opinions.
I don't know. Is suicide likely better with a 45 than a 44?
Nope. Just like the MacArthur quote, it is attributed to Plato on a thousand web pages, but apparently incorrectly. There is never a citation, such as a Chapter in The Republic. I just looked on 11 Google pages, and did not find a genuine attribution to Plato, maybe you can find a specific citation, I couldn't.
