Romney 21% Announced candidate

Palin 17% Unannounced non-candidate (at this time)

For those who say she isn't running, it's looking more & more like you are wrong.

I think she is playing out her own strategy and timing schedule for maximum impact. Certainly not until after the movie The Undefeated is released.

This film, although she didn't commission it, is too juicy not to take advantage of. The bus tour, while not a campaign tour, was brilliant. Upstaging Romney's (the so-called “front runner”) announcement was genius. She didn't step on his toes, she (politically) smashed them, with a wink and a smile. Page one (Palin)vs page three (Romney), huge page one photo (Palin)vs small page one photo (Romney).

I loved Sarah Palin. Then I began falling out of love with her. Now, I am falling back in love with her all over again. I was for her running, I was against her running. Now, I'll be tremendously dissappointed if she doesn't run.

I think she is the Dems worst nightmare, regardless of what they say. Huntsman? “C’mon Man”. Cain? “C’mon Man”. Pawlenty, Santorum, Newt? C'MON MAN”.

Romney and Bachmann are her only formidable opponents. Bachmann (whom I also love) is just not well enough known. I think Palin beats her easily.

Romney has two millstones around his neck (well, at least two big ones), Romneycare and Mormonism. He is stuck with both of them. They will be his undoing.

A good campaign idea would be for Palin to suggest for everyone to send Romney a pair of Flip Flops. (dollar store quality). It could be fun, the media would cover this.

Run, Sarah, RUN!

"Some candidates are far more toxic than others and Sarah Palin, outside of her adoring 8% of all voters, has devastatingly toxic poll numbers."

Source? You've used the poll numbers to discredit Palin, can you now use it to back your "8%"?

Never underestimate the power of the MSM or the Leftist internet following;

“Sarah Palin’s poll numbers are so extremely toxic that her endorsed GOP candidate in her own State of Alaska lost a U.S. Senate election to a WRITE-IN candidate with a hard to spell name”

Does this accurately describe the Alaska race? Me thinks not, when the hard to spell name is Murkowski (which they allowed various spellings of), the “Kennedy” name of Alaska. Joe Miller, was a flawed candidate with corruption baggage that Alaskans had had enough of. To blame this loss on Palin is ridiculous and you know it. (see my tag line, you should try it).

I used to place Bachmann in the top field. However. since she added ex McCain staffers and that ex Huckabee RHINO to her entourage I have lost faith that she is a new hope of a true Constitutional politician. In any case for me there is still Cain, Palin, West(if he can be persuaded), and perhaps just a few others who one can be as certain as possible to be Founding Fathers supportive.

Thanks for the link. But there will be “nothing to see here, move along”. Do I think there will be self photos of her crotch, NO! Lewd emails to young boys? NO! That guy's book fizzled from the news because there was NOTHING, no “there” there. These emails will be more of the same.

YAWN!

Only a 20% deficit? not that hard to turn around in a month :P

It is far easier to LOSE points than to GAIN points and Sarah Palin's trend has been "going South" since her introduction to the national stage. Lately, the more exposure she gets, the farther South she goes.

April 7, 2011 ... The latest WSJ/NBC News poll finds support for Sarah Palin has collapsed nationally with just 25% of Americans now viewing her positively and 53% viewing her negatively.

If there is going to be a 20% difference, it will most likely be that the number who will "definitely NOT" vote for Sarah Palin will rise from the current 65% to 85%.

Agreed, with the exception of Cain. I could support Allen West, but I don't think America is ready for ANOTHER Black president. Obama has destroyed all positives of electing a Black man president. He has set back race relations a generation. It's too bad, but there it is. I would still enthusiastically support a West candidacy, but I don't think the timing is right for him, this cycle. (Veep, maybe?)

It’s not an out-of-hand statement to say that poll is garbage.

Well, at least he places. He does far better in others. What is bothersome about his one (I know its just one poll) is the 60+% that said they definitely would NOT vote for Palin.

If she runs, she has a lot of work to do even if this poll is an outlier...which is hard to say this far out.

It’s good we are in as much agreement as you indicate. However. I disagree that the USA is not ready for another black POTUSA. The fact that one black(?) man has been shown to be the anti thesis of what the Founders set up will not diminish the goal of any other qualified black person. Black, white, red, or whatever color I believe the body of USA citizens will come to once again see that the USA is an exceptional Nation if the right person is the light for that perception. I believe Cain belongs in that group of right persons. His education was well based. His work experience including high corporate achievements is solid. I understand he has had navy service. I understand he was on the board of governors of the Kansas City Fed Reserve branch. He is a proven communicator. And above all to date he demonstrates a true understanding of what the Founders of this Nation intended.

Well, when one considers the outstanding competition on the conservative side, it’s clear that Sarah stands to gain the lion’s share of their supporters’ votes as they drop out. Cain, Bachmann, Santorum, and even many Paul fans will naturally drift toward Sarah as the primaries continue.
She’s already at 17%, and voters have not yet been educated about Milt’s dismal record as governor. And her movie has yet to be released, which is extremely impressive, according to Mark Levin and others. Bob
