This is gonna really piss off the Cain/Romney/Pawlenty/Whoever trolls.

They so have their hearts set on her not running so their chosen RINO can have a clear path to Ubama's victory.

Sarah Louise Palin

Born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, ID (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Charles R Heath, born in ID
Sarah Sheeran, born in WI

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

If Palin polls so close to Obama in a key state, why do all liberals, and even some people here, say that Palin could never beat Obama, and hope she doesn’t run?????

In 1980, the Carter people hoped Reagan would get the Republican nomination, because Carter’s boys thought that Reagan would be the weakest opponent.

In 2008, the Clintons spread stories about how Obama just couldn’t win a general election, and that’s why Hillary should be the nominee. But who got elected in ‘08?

It’s very premature to say that any candidate can’t beat Obama, or, also premature for the liberals to say that Obama is a lock for re-election. We just can’t see what the situation will be election day 2012 at this time.

I worked on that campaign & I knew in late June that RR had it wrapped up. This is encouraging news. If she gets Ohio, Florida & hopefully Pennsylvania we all are in tall cotton.

The more I learn about Cain, the more I like him; and I’m a huge Palin fan. Cain-Palin is my dream ticket for eight years and then Palin-? for eight more. Cain first because he is quite a bit older.

This pairing would get 55-60% of the popular vote; especially with several states getting serious about vote fraud.

I am a Palin supporter, but I would like to say that anectdotically I don't sense Sarah picking up any steam. Many repubs I know don't back her - my own father who was a big Palin supporter now talks about Bachmann.

So I have to conclude Sarah will have difficulty winning the nomination. For me, I still like her and think she can pull it off, but concerned that most people think they know her and have made conclusions that will be difficult to change. Flame away.

Perhaps it’s no better because Sarah Palin is not even a candidate.

Don’t get me wrong I’m a Cain fan, but more than that I’m ABO (Anybody But Obama). If she decides to run and gets the nom I’m definitely for her but until then I’m going to work for Cain.

Obama is going to have a very tough time in Ohio no matter who he faces. He looked those people in the eye and promised to “do something” about NAFTA. That was clearly a smarmy self-serving lie and the voters over there are highly P.O.-ed about it.

How do we reconcile this poll with the Harris interactive poll whose results are posted nearly adjacent to this FreeRepublic posting?

No flames Dave, just a reminder that Sarah Palin has not announced her candidacy and although those of us who support her like to read a 'yes' into any statement she makes about running, as long as her candidacy remains an open question it will reduce her recognition factor and even her support, to some degree. I believe that if Palin announces, starts making fiery speeches and sets out common-sense proposals to bring the U.S. back from the brink of economic destruction and social upheaval, her popularity will soar and the leftmedia's attacks will be blunted. Americans are very uneasy about the state of their country, Obama's 'historic' sheen has faded and Sarah Palin can change people's minds.

With Newt imploding, Huckabee, Daniels and Trump opting out of running and Romney saddled with 'RomneyCare' the field has narrowed. An announcement of candidacy by Sarah Palin would blow the whole thing wide open. I'm confident she would be able to raise huge amounts of campaign cash, giving some of the marginal candidates second thoughts about remaining in the race. We'll see.

I fail to see how Herman Cain is a "troll," or how someone who likes him is a "troll." I'm here in OH, I attend party meetings, am on the central committee for a major county (usually THE swing county for Ohio, given that the north goes Dem and the south Rep), and can tell you that there is no fantastic Palin love here among the grass roots. They don't dislike her, but she has no more clout or appeal than many others---unfortunately for you, including several you named. Herman Cain came to Dayton and gave a rousing speech and made a lot of new supporters.

This notion that anyone who isn't on the Palin bandwagon somehow is a troll really needs to end.

And while reworking PPP's poll numbers is fine, keep in mind people played all sorts of games with poll numbers in 2008, especially with Dem/Rep registrations in "early voting" states and took a beating when the real vote occurred. It is reasonable to assume that Republicans will vote R and that they don't like Obama, but in one of our MOST conservative districts in Montgomery County on election night, fully 1/8 voted Obama---a district that should have been 99% McCain. So assumptions aren't always accurate.
