Do you honestly think Palin would take a backseat to someone with less experience? .... DJ MacWoW
Considering that 65% of all voters have stated they will "definitely NOT vote for Sarah Palin", that is like asking if Charlie Sheen would be willing to accept second billing in a Presidential ticket.
The reality of the situation is that Michele Bachman,unknown to 67% of the voters, at least only has Unfavorables at 20%. Sarah Palin, known to 79% of the voters has Unfavorables at 57%.
However, as WestSylvanian noted, Michele Bachman "is a backbencher with less experience than Obama had when he ran for president. The American public isn’t going to make the same mistake twice and vote for such a person."
The same goes for Sarah Palin who has two years of executive experience as the Governor of a State with almost half the population of San Diego, CA. In terms of citizens per year, Mayor Barry Sanders of San Diego has five times more executive experience that Sarah Palin.
You have absolutely no idea who Jerry Sanders is and wonder why such an individual would even be mentioned in a discussion of Presidential candidates?
If so, that is exactly my point. Obama, Bachman and Palin are all Affirmative Action candidates. If the three of them were white males, like Jerry Sanders is, we would not even be talking about them.
The reality of the situation is that Michele Bachman has a snowball's chance in Hell of winning the general Presidential election in 2012 and Sarah Palin has absolutely NO chance of winning the general Presidential election in 2012.
Of all the debaters in tonight's Republican debate, most American voters would choose "None of the Above".
Bill Clinton did not announce his first winning candidacy until October of the year before the election.
The GOP has until around October of 2011 to attract a strong conservative candidate whose poll numbers are not lower than whale scat at the bottom of the ocean and who can actually defeat Obama and not merely make members of her adoring Fan Club (8% of all voters) act like 13 year old girls at a Justin Bieber concert.
If not, we will have either RINO Romney or Marxist Obama as the President for the next four years.
