I’ve regularly been open about my candidate being Palin and that she’s IMO the best bet we have to win. ..... 9YearLurker

Win what?

The Free Republic "Best Legs on a Candidate" Contest?

In the general election, a Sarah Palin nomination would be a Christine O'Donnell bloodbath on steroids.

Such thinking is simply delusional and flies in the face of all objective data.

=======================

Gov. Sarah Palin has an approval rating of less than 40 percent among Alaskans. ... The Moore poll gives Palin a 39 percent positive rating and 49 percent negative rating among Alaskans. Twelve percent said they were neutral.

=======================

FOX News Poll (February 7-9, 2011)

Question 3: I am going to read you a list of names. Tell me if you think that person would make a good President or not.

Sarah Palin:

.................YES.........NO.......DK.....Never heard of

ALL...........23%.......72%.........4%.......1%

Dem ...........7%........87%........5%.......1%

Rep ...........40%.......56%.......3%.......1%

Ind ...........25%........69%.......3%.......1%

=======================

All old data. Not at all what polls have been showing for several months now.

Here are Rasmussen poll results out today:

Palin is now leading Obama among independents. She also gets a higher percentage of the male vote than any other GOP candidate. And we’re 16 months away from the election.

Christine O’Donnell did extremely well. There were a lot of Republican candidates who did much worse.

Christine O’Donnell is a good example of being trashed by the media.

Getting the Christine treatment by the media, but there was no “Christine O’Donnell Bloodbath”

Christine lost by 16.58%

Let’s look at other races.

In Hawaii, the Republican lost by 53%
In Vermont, the Republican lost by 33%
In New York, one Republican lost by 32%
In New York, the other Republican lost by 26%
In Maryland, the Republican lost by 25%
In Oregon, the Republican lost by 18%

All bigger bloodbaths.

If Christine was in those races, she woulda done better than the candidates that did run, and she woulda taken media hits that woulda gone somewhere else.
