Howard Dean warns Dems Sarah Palin could beat Obama in 2012
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2011-06-04 | Alexander Bolton

Howard Dean, the former Democratic National Committee chairman who helped Democrats capture the White House in 2008, warns that Sarah Palin could defeat President Obama in 2012.

Dean says his fellow Democrats should beware of inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom that Obama would crush Palin in a general-election contest next year.

“I think she could win,” Dean told The Hill in an interview Friday. “She wouldn’t be my first choice if I were a Republican but I think she could win.”

I wouldn’t put money on that. I’m sure the reason he said it is that he thinks he’d be a better candidate than Obama.

Yes, he would be.

She was outpolling Ohamas 3% in less than three weeks in 2008...until McCain rushed back in full support of the TARP bill which we all wanted destroyed.

The MSM knows this even if the crackheads in the party don’t.

“All of a sudden he has turned from idiot to genius?”

I said, “Starting to think”. I did not say, ‘genius’. I do not regard “starting to think” as equivalent to genius. An independent thought however, did make its slow and no doubt difficult way through his skull. That is in itself a truly remarkable event, and one which could be a matter of concern at some point if the trend continues.

“Yeah, this stuff is beginning to give me the creeps. What’s up with these guys?”

A theory here. The economy is beginning to affect everyone. Most people are having to cut back somewhere. Perhaps they are not able to afford the same quantity or quality of drugs, and sobriety is beginning to make inroads? Just speculation.

Would that it were true that he is a do nothing. It may be too late to recover from the regulatory Czars and commissions he has installed.

The first clue of who they most fear... is who they persecute with fervor. She is smarter than they and won’t play their game.

Never take advice from people who want to see you defeated. Sarah is an admirable politician and person but she has been destroyed by the mediactras.

A ham sandwich if Obama could fix one could beat him like a drum.

Dean might as well have said any “CONSERVITIVE” can beat Obama. The people that are paying attention are mad as hell and they are not going to take it any more. Mittens would be the easiest for Zero to beat since Mittens has signed on to MANY of Zero’s key platform issues.

Sounds like you are willing to let the media choose your candidate. Any candidate that the media does not try to destroy is not worth voting for in my opinion.

I,d say so:
House has no value, interest on savings near zero, no job to be found. I think tens of millions are in this situation.
No hope but plenty of change.

Sarah is the real deal. Obama is a slimy, lying creep. Only if America has a death wish, would the usurper Obama win.
