The purpose of the “polls” is to target those who prefer Sarah but need to be convinced that she can’t win, so they need to jump on the Romney bandwagon. The problem is that there is no Romney bandwagon. The reason is that only Sarah Palin is taking any public position on Obama’s administration. She is the only one that has the ear of the people. Have we noticed that when she says something, it often gets reacted to and even sometimes corrected.
Let’s remember who spoke out about “death panels” and really got the opposition to government health care focused. She is the only one who can explain complex matters in terms that most people can understand. “Death panels”, “Snake-Oil Science”, “Professor” come to mind. She is the only one drawing huge crowds to speeches and appearances. She is the one that gets invited to the Tea Party Nation Convention which indicates that she is the one most in tune with the political wave that will take the Republicans to victory.
But maybe Republicans don’t want victory. Maybe they will ignore the base of the party and select another RINO that has no appeal to draw voters to the polls. They will if they let themselves be fooled by silly polls.
Romney? Romney's name isn't even mentioned ANYWHERE in the poll. Did you read it?
There are PLENTY of other people to look at besides Romney - people who are comfortable orthodox conservatives.
That's just what "push polling" is; a Delphi Method of campaigning.
