PPP: Obama leads Palin by eight … in South Dakota?
hotair.com ^ | 2-1-11 | Allahpundit

Posted on 02/01/2011 7:43:18 PM PST by Justaham

I’m highly skeptical — this is a state the GOP’s won in every election since 1964 — but their sample doesn’t seem obviously skewed to me. The partisan breakdown is 48R/38D/14I; the sample in the state’s 2008 exit poll on election day was 42R/36D/22I. If anything, PPP skewed too heavily towards Republicans. The ideological sample is similarly in line. For PPP, it’s 43 percent conservative, 44 percent moderate, and 13 percent liberal. In 2008 on election day, the exit poll had it 35 percent conservative, 50 percent moderate, and 15 percent liberal. Again, PPP’s numbers tilt against Obama. And their polling of hypothetical Romney/Obama and Huckabee/Obama races seems credible. Mitt leads 46/40 and Huck leads 47/41 in a state McCain won by eight points.

She should not have left her governor’s seat. If she did resign it should have been to run for Senate or the House. She lost a lot of credibility with me when she did so and went on a rockstar tour selling books and signing on as a commentator. Sara needs to keep up her present gigs and forget about running for Pres.

There’s a HUGE percentage of us, even Freepers on this website tonight, who believe Sarah Palin is a spoiler. GET REAL. FACE FACTS.

You have to excuse pissant...he’s the leading anti-Palin poster on FR.

If there’s a story about Palin crossing a street..he’ll post that Palin crossed the street to shoot black people.

Don’t go too far, because we ARE conservatives we
accept other people having different opinions and
we rather welcome that.
I personally think Palin is running her own campaign
this time and it’s going just the way she wants it.
She want’s this, she’s already been through the mill
and it’s obvious that the libs see her as a threat,
she isn’t afraid and is ready to take it to them.
I applaud her for that, and when she announces I will
do everything I can to see that she gets a chance.
I am sick of having the media feed candidates to us
like huck and mit also JmcC. Once Palin declares
you will see a groundswell of populism like this
country hasn’t seen in fifty years.

If this is anywhere near true, she has to back out of the limelight, bigtime. Or just not run for President, would be my preference.

Obama’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood will make an awesome campaign ad for the RATs in 2012. By then, the Middle East will be in flames.

I whole heartedly agree. Sarah Palin #45! There is a thirst for Americanism and she fits the bill, loves our country and our constitution.

Run Sarah Run!

What brilliant parroting of the media narrative!

Congratulations, you guys have soaked it all in.

Better sheep could not be found.

You are in for a surprise however...you are relying on the same media that proclaimed Obama a leg tingle inducing Messiah.

The narrative on Palin is false, she is lucky, she has the truth on her side. Once the campaign starts and the reality becomes apparent, all this B.S will fade away.

She is going to walk away with the nomination and win the White House in a landslide.

(I’ll let you in on a little secret, as you don’t seem capable of discerning these things for yourself, the establishment Republicans are not afraid she would LOSE...they are afraid she would WIN and screw it up for Jeb in 2016.)

Hey, if I’m wrong and you’re right, she will lose the nomination and you won’t have to worry about it...let’s let the voters decide...okay?

Every state has its political black sheep. Just for the record, South Dakota got rid of ours at the height of their national power.

Try that at your next Mensa picnic.

“She’s been Quayled. “

So what would you suggest? Let the left pick our candidates for us? Do you consider yourself bright?

I don’t suggest anything. She’s not my candidate of choice. I’m sure the left won’t be clamoring for DeMint or Bachmann or Cain, though.

They are meaningless, but in SD?


If you believe this article, you believe that she would lose SD to Obama. That will never happen. Whoever Republicans nominate will win SD against whoever the dems nominate.

I’m not trying to stop her from doing anything. She can run and split the RINO vote with Mitt and the gang.

“You think whoever the GOP runs will be a longshot against OBAMA? Are you kidding me?”

I know some of my fellow Palin supporters and the PDS’ers here (please see a doctor) will disagree but Obama is going to be tough to beat. He has the entire media complex on his side. He is beatable but anyone thinks it’s going to be some kind of cakewalk is dreaming. Many, many Americans swallow the media line, and the media line is that Obama is the greatest person who ever lived.
