Did you see Obama’s drawing crowd as an indication that he could win an national election?

I have to disagree with you on this, as I think evidence could be made that large crowds were fairly indicative of current occupant of the White House’s popularity in ‘08.

Well then, considering that ALL of these people coming out to see her are voters

They are? Where's the evidence of that?

I'm sure most of them are, but again, it doesn't impress me--they don't indicate votes in any meaningful way. These are partisan crowds, the same with the Obama crowds, and that's a nice TV visual, but I don't see where that works as an indicator of voting success. Where were all those voters on election day? (I guess they were enthusiastic enough to travel long distances and/or stand outside for hours to see her, but they couldn't be bothered to vote for her becauser she was only VP nominee?)

Seeing how Romney and others seem to always win the polls at this point, the "who else is there?" isn't any more "concrete" than anything else. I'm not looking for unassailable proof, just indicators, and old pictures of big crowds and "Who else is there?' don't fill me with enthusiam.

When Mitt pays for a poll, he expects to win it, wouldn’t you?

LOL! Ugh, that's depressing.

Unfortunately, these polls add to the stupid "well, he's a viable candidate" crap that gave us McCain.

1. She was Alaska’s governor and has conservative recored.
2. She was a mayor of an Alaskan town and has a conservative record.
3. She cleaned Biden’s clock in the vice presidential debate.
4. She’s the only conservative leader with national recognition.
5. She’s the only conservative leader who has mastered the sound bite game the Demrats play so well.
6. She’s the only conservative leader who explains her positions and the Constitution in clear and terse English.
7. She’s the only avowed Conservative leader whose position I can predict on any given issue.
8. It is undeniable that Juan McBipartisan has embraced conservative positions since Palin’s endorsement.
I know it’s chic to pretend this woman just dropped into the world when McCain picked her her for VEEP. But she had a recorded political life long before that.

Not a bad answer, is it?

Nothing on that addresses why you think she CAN win, only why you WANT her to win. And frankly, not only am I not impressed by much of her record (some of it, yes, very impressed), but if she were a dem most of us would be dismissing much of her record.

I agree with all but 3. I don’t believe that at all. She was a bumbling fool....couldn’t get the name correct. Otherwise your points are good.

I thought her line “tell me ain’t so Joe” eclipsed that minor stutter. Given all the public speaking she does I’m amazed she makes so few mistakes.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. When it comes to Sarah Palin and The Left. Watch what they DO not what they SAY. They will tell us who they truly fear by their ACTIONS. Not their WORDS.

Nothing satisfies you. "Some of it, very impressed."

Give us your best answer.

Your post makes no sense--you say nothing satisfies me, then follow that with a quote from me saying I'm very impressed with something.

Now why don't you tell us why she can't win?
You are the one that thinks she can't win , no?
Heck, even PPP, a Democratic Party polling outfit that has been known to be rabidly anti-Palin came out with their poll this month, which showed Palin is running neck and neck with 0bama. And 0bama keeps hitting new lows every month. Palin on the other hand, has nowhere to go but up.:

Sarah Palin may be more unpopular than ever before,

Another idiotic, wet behind the ears member of the notorious journoLIST cabal, spews out coordinated, loony left talking points. So what's new?
Reality:

My position is clearly posted already, and I won't be drawn into a pointless attempt to sidetrack what is a simple question so many Palin fan's cannot answer--odd how you folks are always quoting polls you used to claim are unreliable, but they're suddenly reliable indicators when they go your way.

If this poll next shows Palin behind, will you be pointing people to it as evidence?

So is my position. Your position is not particularly relevant.

I won't be drawn into a pointless attempt to sidetrack what is a simple question so many Palin fan's cannot answer”

In other words, you have no anwesr to my question, and instead, insist on your “right” to troll Palin threads with impunity.

odd how you folks are always quoting polls you used to claim are unreliable, but they're suddenly reliable indicators when they go your way. “

Odd how you totally avoided the question, and instead veer off on a tangent with yet another mindless attack on those who back Palin.

If this poll next shows Palin behind, will you be pointing people to it as evidence?”

Ummmmm... I made it clear in my post that PPP is a Democratic Party, anti-Palin outfit. More reason to expect their polls to be biased against Palin. Which is why even PPP, having Palin neck and neck with 0bama is pretty remarkable.
Plus Gallup just came out with their own poll which has Palin ahead of anyone else in favourability ratings amongst Republicans:
Sarah Rising [76% of Republicans find her favorable].
